I'm getting ready to order some bed rail fasteners. I'd prefer that the

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 just finished a bunk bed set (twin centered over full) and used these:

It was a set for three, now small, boys, so I over built and these worked extremely well on the upper. The lower was two units with four drawers each.


Thanks for the idea. I'll consider it.
