No-Mortise Bed Rail Fittings, Set of 4

Comments about No-Mortise Bed Rail Fittings, Set of 4 :

I bought three sets of these to put my kids beds together. The holes on the rail piece required to be countersunk a little more in order to slide by the post piece. Other than that installation was simple. My wife liked that you could screw the whole assembly together to prevent accidental removal of the rail in a bunkbed application. All in all hapy with the purchase.

Had to countersink the holes a bit more so the screws would sit flush

These things work great. I had purchased similar ones from a different supplier that had problems with the pins pulling out where they were swedged to the plate. Had to mig weld the backs of the pins to hold them securly. These however are fine. I have tested them on a hydraulic press to over 1000 pounds and they held up. As far as the perceived screw not fitting - one minute with a countersink bit will adjust any deviation in the recess so #10 screws fit perfectly. I've used brackets like this on over a hundred beds and these are the best yet.

If there was going to be no human movement in the bed it might be fine. I used it for a king sized bed and should have gone with the mortised bed rail fittings. If your building a crib for a baby that wont be moving too much, it might be fine. Unfortunately there is enough slop in the brackets that there is too much movement within it. I am going to have to put some metal shims in.

I bought a set to simplify a bed pedestal with storage drawers and immediately came up with a dozen other uses for these things. In addition to the pedestal I have built a knock down firewood rack, utility bench, and barbecue table. The possibilities are endless and these fittings make quick work out of otherwise tricky problems.

I saw the comments re the need to file the screw heads down and if you use the #10 screws on the inside of the plate, you will need to do that. However, if you use a #9 screw, it should work just fine. I used the #10 screws on the out side holes, and # 9 on the two inside ones. Should not have lost any strength this way.

I build cribs that convert into day beds and then full size beds. This is by far the easiest way for the cribs to convert into the full size beds!I know i read some other comments about this bed rail fitting and they claim the the screws are hard to get flush, but if you take your time and use a self centering bit and drill the hole straight you will not have any problems!!
