Hello,
My husband and I purchased a table with shelving from Charming Charlie's when they went out of business. We lost the screws in the process of building and then moving into our new house.

Do you know where we can find some wood screws like this? Double-sided with the head like the green arrows are pointing at?

search for: cam lock screws

The challenge will be finding the same ones, but not impossible. Alternative is contacting the furniture manufacturer.

We have a local place called Tacoma Screw with locations in Washington, Oregon and Idaho that has just about anything you can imagine. There are 11 pages of furniture related screws, and they do sell online if you can find it there.

Did you check the specialty drawers at lowes? They have long drawers in the screw isle that have a section for furniture hardware.

^^THIS - i'm actually surprised Lowe's wouldn't have these because those drawers have all sorts of odds and ends in them. Like others have noted, internet search cam lock screws. I'll bet they are out there.

In a recent move a drawer closing part was damaged in a dresser my mom bought in the 90's. Never thought I would be able to find the part and sure enough, a few internet searches of images and I was able to find the piece. Now granted - shipping cost more than the actual part LOL, but for $20 bucks I was able to replace the broken part which is still way cheaper than buying a new dresser.

Thanks Everyone! The screws at the Lowes near our house didn't fit. I will try your suggestions and report back.

Yes, he told me he's looking for a piece with the ends looking like what the green arrows are pointing at. Lowes near us didn't have it.
Thanks! I will give an update when we find it.

I’m surprised no one mentioned IKEA.

Practically every piece of furniture they sell has cam pins. They do sell them separately. And I have seen hardware displays were you can get individual pieces for FREE!
