Hi guys. Anyone know where to get fittings that are used to hold a
metal bed frame together. There is an allen key bolt that goes onto a
squarish long nut.

many thanks in advance.

I have just bought a frame, but didn't realise the fittings were
missing till it was too late *G*

type nuts unfortunately.

If you can find out who made the bed they'll often send you a pack free if
you ask nicely.

I dont know what exactly youre looking 4, but if the problem is just
inadequate length, threaded rod will get you any length you want. The
metal frames I'm used to interlock like jigsaw pieces.

I know the type you're on about,thave them in my bed frame but was short of
one myself but had one already but wasn't the square type.

You will not get the type you want as its a manufactured piece for the bed.

Best thing is go back to store? I'm thinking you bought it other than a
store?

Isaac Lord sell longer kitchen cupboard connectors than Screwfix (150mm
vs. 100mm, AFAIR). Neither are up to bed or workbench use.

When I make beds I use the simplest, largest and crudest bolts I can -
usually M10, sometimes even bigger. You can always find somewhere to
hide the, especially if they're long enough and you use Allen heads so
they're more easily hidden.

Well go back and ask for the bits then

hi, thanks for all the replies so far.

I didn't buy it new, or from a store so i can't just go back and ask
for the bolts otherwise i would.

I don't even know who the manufacturer is so can't even ask them.

I bought it off a friend who said it didn't need bolts etc to hold it
together. If this was the case i'm sure it wouldn't have bolt holes.

Looking at various screwfix pages sugested by posters, I will have
another look and see if something other than a square nut will suffice.
Not sure if it is square for a reason. I need to check if the nut
area is hollow, ie a normal nut will not do the trick or if there is
just a hole for the bolt to pass through which may mean, a normal nut
will suffice.

I will have a look when i get home tonight.
