What kind of fasteners are these? NA

[bigred177]

So I'm putting my desk back together from my move and all of this transportation is taking a toll on it. A few of these fasteners are eithe broken or missing so I was wondering where I could order some more. Basically the "male" end goes into the "female" end and you give the Phillips screw thing a quarter turn and it locks it all into place. I've been trying to find them on different website but haven't been able to so far.

I had the same issue, and wasn't able to find those connectors anywhere.
Good luck!

Go buy something from Ikea and you should have a lifetime supply. I think the cheap Target/Wal-mart furniture uses them too. Beyond that, I've never seem them anywhere else!

I believe they are known as furniture lock screws or furniture cam (screws).

I've seen those at Home Depot / Lowes.

You can find them in your local Ace hardware in the aisle that has the long row of hardware parts drawers from some vendor.

Thanks Ed. I went to the store looking, never thought to search their website.

Amazingly enough there is no IKEA in the state of Oklahoma haha.

Good find. Belated thanks.

Well I went and pulled some out of the desk and it looks like there are two different kinds. One has a skinny screw-type base, and the other has this swivel-type base. It also looks like the heads are a little different. Hopefully between HD and ACE I can find what I need.

Some people are just plain lucky.

I was in an IKEA store. Once.

I'm right there with you. I went into one once and have never been back. Not my kind of place. But when your desk is a Craigslist special you don't get to be picky on where it came from .

But when your desk is a Craigslist special you just use drywall screws instead.

FTFY.
