Common Furniture Hardware Explained

Furniture hardware is generally used to connect, secure, support, and adjust different structural components.

Below are some common hardware types and their basic functions.

Screws & Bolts

Used to connect furniture panels, metal frames, and other structural components.

When replacing them, check the thread specifications, length, and installation method. Never use screws or bolts that do not match the original requirements.

Nuts & Washers

Used together with bolts to secure connections and help distribute pressure.

Make sure the specifications are correct and tighten them according to the product instructions.

Hinges

Used to connect cabinet doors, folding components, and other movable structures.

If a hinge is visibly bent, loose, or damaged, stop using the affected moving component and contact us for assistance.

If a drawer sticks, tilts, or does not slide properly, check whether the drawer slides are installed correctly. Avoid forcing the drawer open or closed.

Connectors & Support Brackets

Used to join different furniture components and maintain the stability of the overall structure.

Replacement hardware must match the original product's connection points and structural design.

Casters

Used to allow furniture to move or rotate.

When replacing casters, confirm that the mounting interface and locking functions meet the original product requirements.

COLLECTION 03

How to Identify the Part You Need

To help our customer service team identify the correct replacement component, we recommend following these steps.

Step 1: Check the Assembly Instructions

Start by reviewing the assembly manual included with your product.

Some products use part numbers, hardware labels, or diagrams to identify individual components.

Use these references to determine which part needs to be replaced.

Step 2: Locate the Affected Component

Identify the exact location of the damaged or missing component and note where it belongs within the overall furniture structure.

For example:

  • Left support panel;
  • Right support panel;
  • Upper shelf;
  • Drawer slide;
  • Rear mounting bracket;
  • Bottom connecting component.

Step 3: Record the Part Specifications

If you can identify the dimensions or model of the component, include those details in your request.

Examples include:

  • Screw length;
  • Thread specifications;
  • Connector shape;
  • Panel dimensions;
  • Caster mounting interface.

Do not select replacement hardware based on appearance alone, especially for components involved in weight support or structural mounting.

Step 4: Take Relevant Photos

We recommend taking photos of:

  • The entire product;
  • The exact location of the issue;
  • Close-up images of the damaged component;
  • The relevant hardware diagram in the assembly manual.

Clear photos can help us identify the issue more accurately.

COLLECTION 06

Replacement Part Compatibility

Not all components that look similar are interchangeable.

Different products may use different dimensions, thread specifications, connection methods, and weight-bearing structures.

Before purchasing or installing replacement hardware, please confirm:

  • Whether the component dimensions match;
  • Whether the connection points are compatible;
  • Whether the thread specifications are identical;
  • Whether the material and construction are suitable;
  • Whether the component meets the original product's installation requirements;
  • Whether it meets the applicable weight capacity and safety requirements.

In particular, support components, wall mounting hardware, folding mechanisms, and load-bearing connectors should never be replaced with unverified alternatives.

COLLECTION 07

Replacement Part Installation Tips

After receiving a replacement component, we recommend completing the following checks before installation:

  1. Confirm that the part name and specifications match your request.
  2. Inspect the component for visible damage.
  3. Compare it with the original assembly instructions to confirm its correct position.
  4. Use appropriate tools for installation.
  5. Do not forcefully enlarge mounting holes or modify the product structure.
  6. Do not use mismatched screws or connecting hardware.
  7. After installation, inspect the overall structure and all connection points.

If the issue continues after replacement, stop using the affected product and contact us.

For load-bearing structures, wall mounting hardware, glass mirrors, and large outdoor furniture, consider seeking assistance from a qualified professional when appropriate.

Check the assembly instructions and the hardware checklist included with your product.

If screws or other originally included hardware are missing, please contact us with your order number and relevant photos.

Q2: What should I do if a furniture panel is damaged during assembly?

We recommend stopping assembly and taking photos of the damaged area and the entire product.

Do not force the component into place or attempt unauthorized repairs, as this may cause further damage.

Q3: Can damaged drawer slides be replaced individually?

Whether individual drawer slides can be replaced depends on the original slide design, dimensions, and replacement part availability.

Please provide our customer service team with the product name and photos of the damaged area.

Q4: Can I use screws or hardware from another brand as replacements?

We do not recommend using hardware from another brand or with different specifications without first confirming compatibility.

Different products may use different thread types, dimensions, and connection structures. Incompatible hardware may affect furniture stability and safety.

We do not recommend continuing to use furniture with damaged wall mounting hardware.

Stop using the affected product and arrange an appropriate solution after confirming the wall material, mounting method, and replacement hardware specifications.
