4. Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of the eccentric cam lock nuts:

1. Prepare the Panels: Ensure that the furniture panels have pre-drilled holes for both the cam lock nut and the connector bolt. The connector bolt should be securely fastened into one panel, with its shaft extending into the cam lock nut's receiving hole in the adjacent panel.
2. Insert the Cam Lock Nut: Carefully insert the eccentric cam lock nut into its designated pre-drilled hole in the furniture panel. Ensure the opening (locking channel) of the cam lock nut is aligned with the shaft of the connector bolt.

3. Align and Tighten: Using a Phillips head screwdriver, gently turn the cam lock nut clockwise. As you turn, the eccentric mechanism inside the nut will engage with the connector bolt's shaft, pulling the two furniture panels together.

4. Secure the Connection: Continue tightening until the panels are firmly joined and there is no gap. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the cam lock nut or damage the furniture panel. The connection should feel secure and stable.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during installation or with the stability of your furniture, consider the following:

• Panels not joining tightly:
  • Ensure the connector bolt is fully inserted into its panel.
  • Verify the cam lock nut's locking channel is perfectly aligned with the connector bolt's shaft before tightening.
  • Confirm the cam lock nut is fully seated in its pre-drilled hole.
  • Check if the cam lock nut is the correct size for the furniture's pre-drilled hole and the connector bolt.
• Cam lock nut spins freely or feels stripped:
  • This may indicate overtightening or a damaged cam lock nut. Replace the cam lock nut if it appears damaged.
  • Ensure you are using the correct size Phillips head screwdriver to prevent stripping the drive slot.
• Wobbly furniture:
  • Re-check all cam lock nut connections to ensure they are tightened securely.
