I wanted to connect 2 bookcases. I've used connector bolts before and have found them to be very effective. I could not find the length I needed locally, so ordered here.

My wood outdoor furniture from Pottery Barn (Chatham collection) uses a 1/4 28 (fine thread) in 2 3/4 inch connector bolt in bronze. Do you carry
these? Thanks
these? Thanks
BEST ANSWER: The version carried by Rockler is Item #31856 which is 8 pcs of 2 3/4 Statuary Bronze Bolts with a 1/4-20 thread. The threaded portion is about 1 5/8 in long. They also sell cross dowels which are 5/8 in long and 3/8 in. in diameter with matching thread. These appear to be unfinished mild steel and would be prone to rust. Cap nuts are also available in the bronze finish.

Hi, I have a bunk bed from a company that is no longer in business and can't find these anywhere. I need 5/16" x 2" connector bolts. Are these the correct fit? I also need the "barrel nut" any advise would be greatly appreciated
BEST ANSWER: Hello, The pictured item is a 1/4-20 Joint Connector bolt- All of the threads on these type of bolts are 1/4-20 but your bunk bed has a larger hole- so that means the bolt should have a shoulder on it -under the head. The shoulder goes thru the wood and is not threaded. It is classified as a Type BA 17 mm Head Shoulder, 5 mm Hex Drive- Joint Connector bolt.- They come in 35, 50, and 60 mm lengths. The manufacturer ( or distributor-I'm not sure) of these is -U.S. Industrial Fasteners, 2026 East Cedar Street, Tempe, Arizona 85281 Actually- The big home improvement centers probably have them in stock. Good luck.

I need 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" help?
BEST ANSWER: Sanding or grinding is always a good way to shorten a bolt if you don't have to take too much off, but remember to put a nut on the bold before you cut or grind, when you remove the nut it acts like a die and will clean up the threads as you remove it.

I need to repair a vintage Danish modern chair and I think this is the right bolt for the front piece, do you know what size I would need?
BEST ANSWER: For 3/4" wood, 1 1/8" will work, but if the wood is thicker, go to a longer length of bolt. Screwing into a threaded insert, drill the hole for the threaded insert deeper than the insert will be so that any excess length of bolt won't cause a problem with closing the joint.

I'm wanting to connect a vintage wood headboard and foot board to some shelving units to create a platform bed. The shelving units are made of particle board. The shelving units and bolts will be holding the headboard and foot board upright. The four shelving units will be supporting the bed slats and distributed weight of the mattress and people, but the bolts won't be supporting that weight. I'm thinking of putting two bolts at each joint, one above the other. Do I need to do something to reinforce the particle board at the joints? Do I really need two bolts at each joint?
Connector Bolts-Statuary Bronze
BEST ANSWER: Martha: I've used the connector bolts on shelving with good success, and would say if you plan on using them to connect your shelving units just to keep them in place, and you have adequate thickness, then you probably wouldn't need to add further support. If the particle board is thin, say less than 1/2", you may want to back up your connections with a plywood washer. good luck

I am looking for 4 1/4 inch bolts for a bunk bed. I only see 4 3/4 and 3 1/2 sold on this site. Any idea where I can get 4 1/4?
BEST ANSWER: You could cut 1/2" off the 4 3/4 bolt and run it through a die.

Hi I am joining 2 x 2 sq in pieces of oak. Will the 3 1/2 in connectors plus 11/16 in end caps give me enough thread to work with?

Joint connector bolts
These bolts are great for fastening multiple layers of wood, for many projects that require a partial disassembly or even as a substitute for a large wood screw. Commonly used with metal cross dowels to assemble furniture parts, they can also be used with different types of Tee nuts. The 1/4-20 thread requires a 4 mm Allen key to tighten them and they have an attractive finished appearance that does not require a washer or plug.

just what I needed
My futon couch is now functional again.
When I bought it the couch came with what could only have been defective bolts that broke one after the other until the couch collapsed.
Not any more.

This is a very versatile fastener with a good strong head.
I used these with threaded inserts, their matting nuts (another part of these you can order. I was glad to see the matte black ones available, too! They are a bit expensive and should be offered cheaper in larger quantities. I would also like to see a SS color available, soon.

Great Product Great Service
Used these connector bolts and caps on my shelf unit that was leaning slightly out of square. They were easy to install, worked great and look custom. Rockler service is first rate. I definitely recommend Rockler for your woodworking needs.
