How to Assemble Furniture with Cam Locks? - Part Two

5. Assemble the furniture

Now, the cam lock is in place. You can put the furniture together. To do this, you will need to use a wrench to tighten the screws on the cam lock. Make sure not to over-tighten the screw, as this can strip the threads from the cam lock. Firstly, we need to tighten the cam locks slightly, then alternately tighten the other cam locks until they are snug.

Once all the cam locks are tight, the furniture should be secure and sturdy. If you're still having trouble in assembling furniture, there are a few other things you can try. Firstly, be sure all the cam locks are in the correct place.

If not, the furniture won't fit together properly. Secondly, we need to try to release the cam lock. It may make it easier to put furniture together. Thirdly, make sure the screws on the cam lock are all facing the same direction. Fourthly, try tightening the cam lock with another wrench, which may help if the wrench you are using is the wrong size. At last, if all else fails, you can always ask a family member or a friend for help.

6. Use a level

Once you've put the furniture together, it's very important to make sure it's level. Use a horizontal surface to inspect the front and back of the furniture. If it is not level, it may be unsafe and unstable. First, release the cam lock to adjust the level. Then, use a horizontal plane to find the highest point on the furniture. Once you've found it, you need to use a shim to raise that side of the furniture until it's level. Finally, re-tighten the cam lock.

7. Add feet to furniture

Next, add the feet of the furniture. This will help protect your floor and prevent your furniture from sliding around. First of all, you need to measure the distance between the holes in the bottom of the furniture piece. Then, cut four pieces of wood of the same length. Next, put the wood on the floor. Then, put the furniture on top of the floor. Then, use a drill to screw the wood into the holes in the bottom of the furniture. At last, you need to add felt pads to the bottom of the furniture feet to protect your floor.

8. Complete

Finally, add an ornament to the furniture, which will help protect it from scratches and stains. Use a stain or a sealant. Firstly, you can sand the furniture with fine grit sandpaper. Then, you can apply the finished part of your selection. Allow the furniture to dry completely before you use it. You need to avoid placing hot items directly on furniture because it can damage the finish.

How much does it cost?

The cost of assembling furniture with cam locks will be different according to the size and type of furniture and the number of cam locks used. However, the average cost is between 50 dollars and 100 dollars. If you are having trouble assembling furniture, you may need to hire a professional to do it for you. It will cost about 200 dollars.
