Setup and Installation
Installation of the ReplacementScrews cam wheel locks is straightforward and follows the standard procedure for IKEA furniture assembly. These locks are designed to fit precisely into the pre-drilled holes in your IKEA bed frame components.
- Identify the Insertion Point: Locate the circular holes on the furniture panels where the cam locks are to be inserted. These are typically found on the ends of horizontal panels that connect to vertical posts or other panels.
- Insert the Cam Lock: Gently push the cam wheel lock into the designated hole. Ensure the flat side of the cam lock is flush with the surface of the furniture panel. The internal hexagonal opening should be visible and accessible.
- Align Components: Bring the two furniture components together, ensuring that the connecting dowels or screws from the other component align with the central hole of the cam lock.
- Secure the Connection: Using a suitable tool (e.g., a screwdriver or Allen key, depending on the cam lock's design), turn the cam lock clockwise. As you turn, the internal mechanism will rotate and grip the shaft of the connecting dowel or screw, pulling the two furniture pieces tightly together. Turn until snug, but do not overtighten.

Always refer to your original IKEA assembly manual for specific instructions related to your furniture model, as the exact orientation or sequence of steps may vary.
Operating Instructions
Once installed, the cam wheel locks operate by maintaining a secure connection between furniture components. They are not designed for frequent adjustment or removal. Their primary function is to provide a strong, stable joint for the bed frame.
- Securing: After inserting the connecting hardware (e.g., a screw or dowel) through the cam lock, turn the cam lock clockwise using a hexagonal or flat-head tool until the furniture pieces are firmly joined.
- Unsecuring (for disassembly): To disassemble the furniture, turn the cam lock counter-clockwise until the connecting hardware is released. You should then be able to separate the furniture components.
Avoid over-tightening, as this can damage the cam lock or the furniture material. The connection should feel firm and stable without excessive force being applied.
Maintenance
These cam wheel locks are designed for durability and require minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure the longevity and stability of your furniture.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the cam locks for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage, especially if the furniture is frequently moved or subjected to stress.
- Tightness Check: If you notice any wobbling or looseness in your bed frame, gently re-tighten the cam locks by turning them clockwise. Do not overtighten.
- Cleaning: If necessary, wipe the cam locks with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the metal finish.
- Replacement: If a cam lock is visibly damaged, corroded, or no longer holds the furniture securely, it should be replaced immediately with a new, compatible part to maintain structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Most issues with cam wheel locks relate to improper installation or wear over time. Here are some common problems and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cam lock does not turn or is stuck. | Misalignment of connecting hardware; debris in the mechanism; cam lock is already fully tightened/loosened. | Ensure connecting hardware (screw/dowel) is properly seated. Check for and remove any obstructions. Verify the cam lock's current position. |
| Furniture feels loose or wobbly after assembly. | Cam locks not fully tightened; incorrect cam lock size/type; damaged cam lock or connecting hardware. | Gently re-tighten all cam locks. Confirm that these are the correct replacement parts (IKEA part #114670). Inspect cam locks and connecting hardware for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Cam lock falls out of the hole. | Incorrect cam lock size; hole is stripped or too large. | Verify the cam lock diameter (35mm) matches the requirement. If the hole is damaged, consider using wood filler or a larger, compatible cam lock if available and safe for your furniture. |
