how to use furniture camlock nut and screw @VEHICLEBODYLATHEWORK-ne2mm
### Description
A cam lock nut and screw are commonly used in flat-pack or ready-to-assemble furniture. This hardware provides a sturdy and secure method for joining pieces of furniture without requiring extensive tools or skills.
**Cam Lock Nut:**
- A small, cylindrical piece, usually made of metal or plastic.
- It has a hole for a screw and an internal cam mechanism.
- When the screw is inserted and turned, the cam lock nut grips the screw, pulling the pieces of furniture tightly together.
**Cam Lock Screw:**
- A screw with a flat or slightly rounded head.
- It has a thread that matches the cam lock nut.
- The head of the screw often has a slot or cross for a screwdriver or Allen key.
### Installation Process
1. **Preparation:**
- Identify the pieces of furniture that need to be joined.
- Locate the pre-drilled holes for the cam lock nuts and screws.
2. **Insert the Cam Lock Nuts:**
- Place the cam lock nuts into the designated holes on one piece of the furniture.
- Ensure the open side of the cam lock nut is aligned with the direction the screw will come from.
3. **Insert the Cam Lock Screws:**
- Insert the cam lock screws into the pre-drilled holes on the other piece of the furniture.
- Tighten the screws slightly so they protrude but don't fully tighten yet.
4. **Join the Pieces:**
- Align the cam lock screws with the cam lock nuts and gently push the pieces together.
- Ensure the screws enter the holes in the cam lock nuts.
5. **Secure the Connection:**
- Use a screwdriver or Allen key to turn the cam lock nuts clockwise.
- As you turn, the cam mechanism inside the nut will grip the screw and pull the pieces together.
- Tighten until the connection is firm and the pieces are securely joined.
6. **Check the Connection:**
- Ensure all screws and nuts are tight and the furniture is stable.
- Make any necessary adjustments.
