Installing these fasteners was extremely easy. The best part is: the fasteners are concealed when the bed is assembled.

It took my wife and I a good little while to build this sleigh bed. Installing these fasteners was definitely the easiest, and quickest step. They feel nice and heavy, and we're sure they'll last as long as the bed will. The bed is made of cherry, with pine slats. We finished it with medium brown Transtints, and Zinsser amber shellac. The fasteners don't look bad either.

I have been the woodshop teacher at Rhea County High School for the past ten years. We have built over 30 pine sleigh beds ranging from twin to king size and have used these steel bed rail fasteners everytime. They are easy to use and very durable making a very sturdy bed. I will continue to use these for future projects.

Recently built matched pair of twin beds from locally harvested and prepared white ash. 3"x3" posts and 6/4" stretchers with mortise and tennon jointry. Slats are mortised into stretchers. The hardware was just the ticket for a knockdown feature. The rails were also 6/4.

My last project was a three mattress student loft bunk bed, these bed rail fasteners held perfectly. I used 5/4 oak for the side rails, which made it very strong. They showed up at my shop very fast. I will use these bed rail fasteners for all of the beds I build in the future.

We recently purchased a antique oak bed. It had a beautiful headboard and foot board but was missing its side rails. My husband used the bed rail fasteners on an pine boards to make new side rails. With the help of the 6 inch bed rail fasteners we have a lovely antique double bed, that is also very sturdy. He found the fasteners easy to work with. The other good part is that the fasteners arrived in only two days from placing the order. You folks at Rockler rock.

I used two sets to hold the extra wide side rails for a Cal. King bed frame. This is the second bed frame I have used this product on. The first was on a queen bed more than ten years ago and the frame is still very solid. I would use them again, very good product.
Note - the center screw hole on the female portion of the fastener can not be used due to interference with the hooks on the male part. Happy woodworking!
