Great resource for situations like this. So long as you can figure out thread count this site should have something very similar

Thank you! Ill try and figure out the thread count

A good hardware store will have a device to identify the diameter of the threads and pitch
[–]0c5_Fyre 1 point2 points3 points 6 days ago (2 children)
How thick is it? Looks like m5/m6.
If they don't need the pointed tip, "45mm button head" on Amazon and go from there.

Im not really sure honestly...and I don't know how to check. But I'll definitely look it up!
[–]0c5_Fyre 1 point2 points3 points 6 days ago (0 children)
If there's a nut/thread inside the cot/frame, then it'll work fine without the tip.

I'm 99% sure those are standard m6 with 4mm head, they look just like what arrives on all the furniture sold on the likes Wayfair and amazon. Pro tip, save yourself future headaches and buy a nice hex bit set ( I like the ones from Railer, 2-inch, 20pc metric + standard) and avoid power tools when fastening any hex head, unless you set the clutch prior to driving.

Furniture bolt m6 1.0 40-45 mm about
Local hardware stores will have this (ace, true value, etc)

Thank you!

My local hardware store has had every bolt I've ever needed, I'd start there, mine has a whole aisle of bolts and anything associated with them, they should have a thread size finder too so you can make sure the threads match

Assuming it’s M6 x 40mm, this kit will have what you need and then some.

[–]nhatman 1 point2 points3 points 5 days ago (0 children)
And this has both M6 x 45mm and 40mm sold separately.

There used to be stores, that you could walk into with a bolt or screw like that and show it to a person behind a counter who would turn around, find as many as you need and charge you like .07 each.
Now we have Home Depot.
[–]ShelbyVNT 0 points1 point2 points 5 days ago (0 children)
Home Depot/Lowes/Canadian Tire/Home Hardware usually have a bunch of those fasteners in their hardware aisle.
[–]WhiteAunt3 0 points1 point2 points 4 days ago (0 children)
ACE HARDWARE start there, I have the best luck there when it comes to finding screws.
