Rating Parts for old Williamsburg cribs by: Anonymous If you’re trying to replace parts for a 1984 Williamsburg crib, the most important thing to know first is that original, manufacturer-issued replacement parts are no longer produced for cribs from that era. Williamsburg cribs from the 1980s are considered vintage, and safety standards have changed significantly since then. Here’s what I recommend you do, step by step. 1. Pause before using the crib Cribs made in the 1980s were built before today’s federal crib safety standards. Even if the crib looks solid, missing or substituted hardware can create real safety risks. I strongly advise not using the crib until you know exactly what parts are missing and whether safe replacements exist. 2. Identify exactly which parts you need Take clear photos of: The full crib Each corner joint Mattress support area Any missing or damaged hardware Measure: Bolt length and diameter Thread type (machine vs. wood screw) Spacing between mattress support holes Rail attachment points This information matters because crib hardware is not interchangeable by brand name alone. 3. Understand the reality of replacement parts For a 1984 Williamsburg crib: Original branded parts are not available There is no official manufacturer support Any replacement parts would need to be aftermarket equivalents, not originals This means you must be extremely cautious. Using the wrong bolt or support hardware can cause rail failure. 4. Safe alternatives that may work Some parents in your situation choose one of these paths: Option A: Hardware matching (non-structural only) If the missing parts are non-load-bearing (for example, decorative caps), a specialty hardware store may be able to match them safely. Option B: Mattress support hardware kits In limited cases, a universal crib mattress support replacement kit can work only if: Hole spacing matches exactly Metal thickness and weight rating are equivalent The crib is not drop-side (many 1984 cribs were) If the crib uses a drop-side rail, it should not be used at all. 5. Sometimes part replacement is simply not a good choice: If your crib is missing: Rail attachment bolts Mattress support brackets Any locking or structural hardware Then the safest choice is not to retrofit it for infant sleep. Many families choose to: Repurpose the crib as décor Use it for a doll crib or memory piece Retire it and move to a modern crib that meets current safety standards 6. My honest guidance I know it’s hard when a crib has sentimental value—especially a beautiful vintage piece like a Williamsburg crib. But when it comes to infant sleep safety, no replacement part is better than the wrong replacement part. If you’d like, you can provide the following information: Whether the crib has a drop-side Which parts are missing Or share photos and measurements And maybe other visitors will be able to help you determine whether safe replacement is possible, or whether it’s better to step away from using it for a baby.
