How to Read the Label on Your Delta Crib

Before anyone can help you with Delta crib replacement parts, they will need the information printed on the crib’s label. This label is usually found on the inside of the headboard or footboard, under the mattress support, or on the underside of the crib frame.

What to look for on the label:

• Model number – this tells Delta exactly which crib you own.
• Manufacture date – helpful for checking safety updates and recalls.
• Style or collection name – sometimes shown, sometimes not, but useful when describing your crib.
• Finish or color – such as espresso, white, or natural wood.

If your crib is secondhand or has been stored for a long time, the label may be hard to read. A bright light and a quick photo on your phone can make it easier to zoom in and capture all the details.

For families working with older or inherited cribs, it can be especially reassuring to double-check safety first. I put together a guide on whether it’s safe to buy a used baby crib that walks through recalls, missing parts, and other things to look for before you begin tracking down hardware.

How to Order Delta Crib Replacement Parts Step by Step

Once you have your label information, you’re ready to start the actual ordering process. Many parents tell me they feel more confident when they know exactly what to expect, so here’s a simple flow you can follow.

1. Gather Your Details in One Place

Write down or save the following before you make any calls or fill out online forms:

• Delta crib model number
• Manufacture date (month and year)
• Color or finish (for matching replacement parts)
• Which pieces are missing or damaged (stabilizer bar, screws, brackets, rail guides, etc.)

If you aren’t sure what a part is called, a clear photo taken up close can help the support person understand what you’re describing. You can also compare what you have with examples on my general crib replacement parts guide to get a better sense of typical screws, bolts, and stabilizer bars.

2. Contact Delta Children for Official Hardware

Delta Children usually offers a parts request option through their customer service department. They may ask you to:

• Provide the model number and manufacture date from your label.
• Describe the part you need (for example, “stabilizer bar,” “barrel nut,” or “side rail guide”).
• Confirm the color or finish of your crib so everything matches.

While you’re in touch with them, it’s a good time to ask if there are any safety notices or updates for your specific crib. This is especially important for older or secondhand cribs where the original paperwork is long gone.

For official recall and safety information on cribs in general, you can also check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission crib safety center for additional guidance.

3. Compare Manufacturer Parts with Universal Hardware Kits

In some situations, Delta may no longer stock a particular piece or may suggest a compatible replacement. Many parents also explore universal crib hardware kits when the original part is no longer available.

If you decide to look at universal kits online, be sure to double-check:

• That the hardware is appropriate for a full-size crib and not a portable model.
• Measurements for screws, bolts, and stabilizer bars.
• Any weight limits or installation notes in the product description.

For a quick look at the types of hardware other parents use, you can browse my crib parts hub page at Crib Parts: Replacement Hardware, Screws & Guides where I’ve grouped key brands and common questions in one place.

If you’re missing a mix of screws and stabilizer bars for different cribs in your home or family, you might also find it helpful to read through the real-life questions on my crib replacement parts page. Many visitors share photos, model numbers, and the exact pieces they’re trying to replace, which can make your own search feel less lonely.

When Your Delta Crib Is Older or Secondhand

Many of the most heartfelt messages I receive come from grandparents and parents who are trying to make a beloved, older Delta crib safe for a new baby. The emotional attachment to the crib is strong, and it’s very understandable to want to make it work if possible.

Here are some gentle questions you can use as you decide what to do next:

• Has this model ever been recalled or updated for safety?
• Are any of the moving parts worn, cracked, or unstable?
• Are you missing major structural pieces such as stabilizer bars, side rails, or support brackets?
• Does the crib use a drop-side design, which is no longer recommended?

In some situations, families choose to retire an older crib and use it as décor or a sentimental piece while purchasing a new, fully compliant crib for daily use.

If you’re weighing whether a crib with missing parts can still be assembled or used, this guide walks through what to consider before making that decision: Can you use a crib with missing parts?

In other cases, the right replacement parts and a careful safety review give them the peace of mind they were hoping for.

If you’re still weighing your options, my broader crib-safety discussion on used baby cribs and safety checks can help you think through the pros and cons with a bit more structure.

Safety First

Always Follow Safety Guidelines: It's very important to follow all safety guidelines and instructions provided by Delta Children during the installation of the replacement parts to ensure the crib remains safe for your child.

Remember that crib safety is crucial! It's important to use genuine replacement parts provided by the manufacturer or authorized dealers. Using non-standard or improvised parts can compromise the safety of the crib and is not advised. Nor is it advisable to use cribs that have been recalled.

Check for Recalls

Check for Crib Recalls: While you're speaking with the Delta Children customer service rep, it's a good idea to ask if there have been any recalls or safety issues associated with your crib model. Safety should always be a top priority and something that Unique Baby Gear Ideas takes very seriously.
