by: Anonymous

"L-shaped" hanging hooks (also called spring hooks, mattress support hooks, or crib hanger brackets) like these were common on Jenny Lind cribs from the 1960s through the 1980s.

Because these cribs are long out of production, the original hardware is no longer manufactured, but there are still a few places, like Ebay, where parents and grandparents have successfully found matching parts.

ā­ 1. Try eBay first and try these search terms:

"Jenny Lind crib spring hook"

"crib hanger bracket vintage"

"crib hook replacement metal"

"antique crib hardware"

Many sellers strip old cribs for parts, and the hooks often appear in small sets of 2, 4, or 8.
You might have to buy extras depending on the seller.

šŸ‘‰ Why this works:
These are actual salvaged parts from cribs of the same era ā€” meaning the metal gauge and bend shape may match your 1978 hooks better than any modern universal set you could buy.

ā­ 2. Etsy

A few long-time furniture restorers keep old Jenny Lind or Simmons crib hardware.

Try these search terms:

"vintage crib spring hooks"

"antique crib hardware set"

Part quality is usually better on Etsy, but the prices are a little higher, too.

ā­ 3. Try Generic Hardware Substitutes (ONLY if the holes and everything else matches)

If you absolutely cannot find the exact early-style bent hooks, a few hardware restorers have used:

R-style mattress spring hooks

U-shaped cradle/crib hanger brackets

āš ļø Important:
These must be the same metal thickness and fit perfectly inside the frame rail. Using the wrong substitute can make the mattress base unstable, so use with caution.

ā­ 4. Baby Crib Restoration Forums

The "Jenny Lind Crib Parts Requests" page on this site has a lot of traffic from people with these exact cribs.

I can help you post a call-for-parts request there:

People often respond within a few days if they recognize the part.
