FAQs
What size spanner do I need for these bolts?
These M8 bolts typically require a 13mm spanner or socket, which is a standard size for M8 fixings. A wrench can also be used.
Can I use these for attaching a headboard to a divan bed base?
These bolts are designed for bed frames with threaded inserts. Divan beds usually have pre-drilled holes or brackets for headboard fixing, so compatibility will depend on whether your divan has M8 receiving threads.
How many bolts are in a pack?
Each pack contains two M8 headboard bolts and two plastic washers.
Are these bolts suitable for outdoor use?
While the zinc coating provides rust resistance, these bolts are intended for indoor furniture. Prolonged outdoor exposure may eventually lead to corrosion.
What is the thread length of these bolts?
The thread length is 50mm, and the total bolt length is 55mm.
Do I need the washers?
The included plastic washers are recommended to protect the surface of your headboard and bed frame from scratches and can help achieve a snugger fit.
What material are the bolts made of?
They are made of high-quality, zinc-coated steel for durability and rust resistance.
Troubleshooting
Bolt won't thread into the bed frame.
Verify that the bed frame has an M8 thread. Ensure the bolt is aligned correctly and not cross-threading. If the frame has no thread, a different type of fixing may be required.
Headboard is still wobbly after tightening.
Ensure the bolts are fully tightened. Check if the bed frame's threaded inserts are stripped or damaged. Consider using additional washers or a different bolt length if needed, though this product is designed for specific M8 fits.
Bolt seems too short or too long.
This product has a 50mm thread length and 55mm total length. If your frame or headboard thickness requires a different size, you may need to source alternative bolts. Check frame depth and headboard thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Identify the threaded holes on your bed frame and the corresponding mounting points on your headboard.
- Insert a plastic washer onto each M8 bolt.
- Align the bolt with the holes on the headboard and into the threaded receiver on the bed frame.
- Using a standard spanner or wrench, tighten the bolt until the headboard is securely fixed. Avoid over-tightening.
Compatibility:
- These bolts are designed with an M8 diameter and a 50mm thread length, featuring partial threading. They are intended to fit most standard UK bed frames and headboards that utilize M8 threads.
- Ensure your bed frame has compatible M8 threaded inserts. Some custom or older bed frames may use different threading standards.
Care:
- The zinc-coated steel is resistant to rust, but to maintain their condition, avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture.
- Periodically check the tightness of the bolts and re-tighten if necessary, especially after the first few weeks of use.
- Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
