How do I install bed fittings correctly?

Proper installation of bed fittings is essential for the stability and durability of your bed. Here are the basic steps you need to follow:

• First, you need to mark the position of the bed fitting on the bed sides. Make sure you measure and mark where the hole for the bed frame and the hole position of the bed fitting meet. Precise marking helps ensure a stable bed construction.
• After marking the positions, drill holes in the bed sides. Use a drill bit that is properly matched to the size of the screw hole in the bed fitting.
• Then mount the bed fittings to the bed sides. Use suitable screws and tighten them securely. Make sure the screws are fully countersunk in the drilled holes and nothing protrudes to avoid injury.
• Finally, mount the bed frame into the bed fittings. Align the holes in the bed sides and the frame and insert the screws through them. Tighten the screws firmly to secure the frame.

It is important in all steps to ensure safety, for example by wearing safety glasses while drilling and securely locking the bed in place during work.
