How to Make Drop Side Baby Cribs Stationary

I need to know how to make drop side baby cribs stationary. For instance, what is the the size and type screws that are necessary to hold the side of the crib in place to prevent it from sliding up and down?

The kind of drop side crib I have is the Pali model called "Lilly".

Here is the date of manufacture and other information I have on the Lilly:

Item: Lilly
Code: 0474
Date of Production: 04/2003




This conversion kit is said to have the screws and parts necessary to convert a drop side crib into a fixed side crib.



If anyone has any suggestions for a resource that will aid in the conversion of a Pali Lilly crib to a fixed side crib, please send me all the information you have using the space below (and PLEASE include your contact information in case I need to get in touch with you!).
