dowelling ; pin fixing ; nailing


Explanation:
I agree with Heike that context is needed.
My suggestion is a guess, based on Engströms Teknisk Ordbok and Gullberg. Engström gives the phrase "genom stiftning fästad lagertapp", as meaning "pin fixed by dowelling", so dowelling is the best guess. Much IKEA furniture is held together by dowelling or "dowels" (small wooden pins without heads).
Or could it be "split-pin fixing" - where you fasten a bolt or similar by inserting a split pin which is then bent over to hold everything in place. But I can't find any convincing references.
