How to Assemble a Metal Bed Frame
- Slide the piece that has a wing-nut fastener on each arm of the "E" on the left side, if that is the type of bed frame you have, and lay the support from the right side over the left side bar support.
- Slide the fastener over both bars and tighten loosely to hold them together, repeating for each horizontal support.
- On the keyhole bed frame, set the small expander bar of the two bars that protrude from the side rails and the center support bar at the top and bottom of the frame, aligning them by the holes in the frame based on the box spring width.
- Set the bolts or the pins in the bars through the holes so that the two sides and the center support are connected.
- Lightly fasten the nuts on these to keep them in place if they have them or slide the bar to lock the pins in the holes.
