WANTED: REPLACEMENT CRIB BOLTS INFORMATION! I already have a crib and am ready to put it together but have lost or misplaced the bolts. I was wondering if I can use any kind of bolts or screws to replace the original ones or would this be dangerous?
From the webmaster:
Leslie, do you have any of the original crib bolts left that came with the bed or have you lost the whole kit and kaboodle? You don't mention what the model and/or brand of the baby crib is or whether or not you still have the instruction manual. If you have the instructions sheet that came with the baby crib, check to see if there is a parts diagram to use as a guide. If you have the model and brand, I would call the manufacturer to see if they can send you some replacement crib bolts and to ask them whether or not it would be safe to replace them yourself.
