Need help to identify this fixing

[XrayDave]

Not sure whether this query should go here or in General DIY. Mods, please move if you feel it is appropriate, thank you.

Trying to sell a cot/bed. We have all of the fixings for the toddler-sized bed.

The high-sided cot version is missing eight of these fixings (pictured below).

In order to complete the cot, I need to replace these fixings as they have been lost - but I have no idea what they are called or where to get them from.

Hoping those on the forum can help.

Dowel screw fixings. You will proably have to buy suitably sized screws seperately

I think they are called cross dowels

go on amazon or anywhere else. Cross dowels for just the cross piece or bed bolts if you want flat head screws as well. Otherwise any metric bolt can be used with a cross dowel

Brilliant, thank you chaps. You’ve got it spot on or should I say “You’ve hit the nail on the head”
Many thanks, especially denso13 for providing that link.

Mr Rusty made me think of watching The Magic Roundabout on TV as a kid just before the news with Florence, Dougal, Ermintrude, Dylan and the unforgettable Zebedee! Wonderful memories!

All the best for ’26
