I'm getting ready to order some bed rail fasteners. I'd prefer that the
fasteners not be visible from the outside of the bed, i.e. no bolts.

I used this style in the past (~20 years ago) and really like them. They've
held up well and pull the rails in tight. I'm considering using them again,
unless someone has something they like better.

I also ran across these which look promising:

Any thoughts on which one would be better, or maybe even something else?

Thanks!


I most recently used these http://www.cshardware.com/15-74-5.html and
before that similar more-expensive ones from a different vendor which I
can't recall at the moment. The fasteners are very strong and are among the
most easy to install since they have nicely rounded ends so a router cut
makes the mortise with no hand work needed beyond a few clearance holes for
the tabs and some holes for the screws. I can install a pair of them in a
few minutes (now that I have the hardboard jig finished, of course).
