“I used these latches on the first bed frame I ever built so I have no reference to compare to other latches. I found that in order to get a good fit, you need to recess the latch on the rail approximately 1/8” so when you tighten the screw it will draw the rail into the headboard and footboard. If you install it flush, it will leave a small gap. Also, they recommend #8 screws. I found that you can use #12 screws. I also used a 1/2” forstner bit to provide the recess for the tightening screw. Otherwise, they were easy to install and it was easy to fit the pieces together and provided a sturdy frame. I would definitely use again. 4 instead of 5 stars because I shouldn’t have had to figure all this out on my own.”

“No dimensions - How can I know if it would fit my rails and legs? No pictures of the parts showing how they fit together - How could I judge whether these are likely sturdy enough for my project? Why, from one dimensionless picture would I want to buy these things?”

“Bought these for bunk beds a client ordered where they want them to be able to be able to be disassembled as well as separated into twins, so I needed a solution to attach the rails which would work regardless of vertical orientation. They hold very well but I am knocking off as star as the instructions are completely missing with only the picture from the front cover to guide you. I would strongly suggest mortising the rails into the head and foot boards for additional stability, but PLEASE NOTE the two halves MUST be installed correctly for that to work. If you do as I did the first time you will not be able to insert the tenon into the mortise and fit the tabs of the hardware into the slots. You must attach these so the piece with the screw is on the rail (tenon) and the piece with the tabs is on the head/foot board (mortise). You may also want to install the screw side 1/16"-1/8" deeper than normal to allow the screw to pull it tight, somewhat like a drawbore.”
