Specifications

Usage

These eccentric cam lock nuts are integral components in the assembly of various furniture pieces. When combined with a cam dowel, they create a strong and reliable connection between two furniture panels. Common applications include:

• Wardrobes
• Chests of drawers
• Dressers
• Cabinets
• Shelf units
• Other flat-pack furniture requiring cam lock fasteners

Installation Instructions

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

1. Prepare Panels: Ensure that both furniture panels you intend to connect have the necessary pre-drilled holes for the cam lock nuts and corresponding cam dowels.
2. Insert Cam Lock Nuts: Carefully insert the metal cam lock nuts into the larger, circular pre-drilled holes on one of the furniture panels. The arrow or indicator on the cam should point towards the edge of the panel where the connecting dowel will enter.
3. Insert Cam Dowel: Insert the cam dowel (not included, typically part of the furniture kit) into the corresponding hole on the second furniture panel.
4. Align Panels: Bring the two furniture panels together, ensuring the cam dowel aligns with the opening of the cam lock nut. The dowel head should fit snugly into the cam's slot.
5. Secure Connection: Using a Phillips head screwdriver, turn the cam lock nut clockwise. As you turn, the eccentric mechanism inside the cam will pull the cam dowel, and consequently the two furniture panels, tightly together, forming a secure joint. Continue turning until the panels are firmly joined and the cam is locked. Do not overtighten.

Note: Always refer to your furniture's specific assembly instructions for the exact placement and number of cam lock nuts required.

Maintenance

ReplacementScrews Metal Cam Lock Nuts are designed for durability and require minimal maintenance. However, to ensure their continued performance and the stability of your furniture:

• Periodic Checks: Periodically inspect assembled furniture for any signs of loosening. If a joint feels wobbly, gently retighten the cam lock nuts with a Phillips head screwdriver.
• Cleaning: If necessary, wipe the cam lock nuts with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store unused cam lock nuts in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
