Cam locks are awful

[@johndeyoung9230]

I disagree cam locks are best thing since sliced bread.

[@weltschmertzz]

Only when you don't understand how to use it. It's pretty awesome.

[@lordjaashin]

​@@weltschmertzzthey are good for one time assembly. If you want to disassemble and reassemble again then they aren't as tight. They suck

[@DivineRaidenDW]

I just moved in in a new apartment and had these cam locks ,I was gonna go nuts and use different method to screw the planks. You saved my night man ,great video.❤

[@DontNeedToKnow84]

Are you supposed to turn the nut 180 degrees? That's what my IKEA manual said, but it took a good bit of strength to tighten it the whole 180 degrees, so I want to make sure I didn't budge the lock or something.

[@HanDIYman007]

typically you turn it clockwise and should lock at 180 degrees. BUT there are camlocks where the pointy tip is at the opposite side -- in this case, you have to turn it 180 degrees BUT counter-clockwise. sometimes, it is hard to turn because you haven't pushed in the screw deep enough and the screwhead is catching/snagging on the camlock tip.

[@cutuchell538]

You saved my life with this video, I was about to give up on my new desk, I was about to ask help from my bf, but with this video I could finished everything by myself

[@adventuremasarira7733]

Absolutely fantastic video! I was struggling for a while, and then I watched this and figured it out in three minutes. Thank you, sir!

[@HanDIYman007]

You're very welcome!

[@mylifeisslow959]

I just wanted to say thank you! I never put a table together and the one I got didn't come with directions, but now I can say I have a new desk!

[@Aylezhong]

Hello, thank you for the explanation, but why is mine loose after installing it? Even though it has been turned tight

[@clemsmith2253]

my kit came with pre finished nuts. Are these necessary? the bolts are threaded. the pre inserted nut just seems redundant

[@HeartSoulLeake]

Thank you. We were recently doing this, and the camlock kept releasing the outer frame panel. We couldn't figure out how to remove the camlock to analyze the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated appreciated. ❤

[@Ninai5z]

mate God bless you so much. I literally prayed to find a video that can help me - and look what God can do in minutes! the internet- this video is a life saver. Building my second every desk for the first time. God bless you so much! p.s. child of God

Thanks for this clear explanation. I was trying to put a flat pack trolley together, took one look at the fitting and thought what do I do with this?

[@HanDIYman007]

@@HanDIYman007 do you have a video on these hinges? The flat pack assembly pictures are too small for me to work it out.
