boltless

Lacking metal pins

Boltless describes something designed or constructed without bolts—typically shelving or storage systems that snap or hook together rather than requiring hardware: boltless shelving units, boltless assembly.

The term appears almost exclusively in product descriptions and industrial catalogs.
