Looking for horseshoe shaped nuts for an all in one bunk bed?
Question:The nuts go inside circles drilled into the side rails. I've checked local hardware store, online, and have been unable to find a match. Any ideas?
Answers:
It sounds like a Cir-clip, (circle-clip.) At the opening where the ends of the horse -shape come almost together is there small holes in the ends. If there are, one on either side, you will need a special pair of pliers to apply these clips.
The clips usually slip inside a groove cut in the wood or metal and clamp the parts together.
You can get the Cir-clips at either Lowe's or Home Depot in the hardware section. You will need the diameter of what ever you are trying to assemble. Some tool rental places will rent you the pliers for a few bucks on the day.
Did you lose some "custom" nuts specifically designed and included?
Inside circles? Do you mean counter sunk to be flush with the bed frame material?
Might you be talking about "Acorn" nuts?
Without knowing exactly what an "all in one Bunk Bed" is I'll assume it's more than just a bed? Have you connected with the manufacturer?
I'm familiar with a horseshoe like CLIP, most ofetn a spring clip piece of hardware, but have never seen a "horseshoe" shaped nut. Did the bed come with a "wrench" or is it counter sunk meaning that you have to use a socket?
Might you have a link or pics?

Go to a hardware store and search their bins for the poorly described nuts you need. Does a horseshoe shaped nut fit a horseshoe shaped bolt? Never heard of one and these guys guessing won't help.
