Can I use a 5/16" bolt to attach this to my footboard? I bought another extender kit, and the bolts that came with my bed wouldn't fit the slits.

Also the kit comes with 4 1/4" bolts that might work on your footboard in replace of the 5/16" you already have.

The slots on the footboard mounting bracket are between 1/4 and 5/16 (9/32). I would say it will work taking into account the thread depth of your bolts. Worse case is to file the slot or drill it out to accommodate your 5/16 bolt.

The board I got was 12'' wide alright, but the length was only 7 1/2' or 7 3/4' -- slightly less than 8'. The two bolts for the board were 6'' each. I had to buy a similar 7'' ones from Home Depot (about $6 each). 6 1/2'' bolts would have worked fine.

These bed rails are designed for hook-on connections, so no hardware is necessary. To use these, you should have hook-in slots in both your headboard and footboard, and inside those slots should be two metal pins which are approximately two inches apart on centers.If you need a frame which has bolts going through the frame and through the headboard/footboard which are either 2-1/2" or 4" apart, you'll want to search for Bolt-On bed frames, not Hook-On.If you need help picking the best frame for your needs, call us at 1-800-823-4233.

Model # ST5066BF- No I purchased an extensions separately because this frame did not come with them. The extensions were a perfect fit. You might want to ask for the frame that already has the footboard attached to avoid waiting for a second delivery. Hope this was helpful.

i have only tried it for the foot board. Headboard brackets are usually part of the standard rails and should not need any more brackets or rail extensions.

I wish I knew what a 5/16 hanger bolt was, but I don't. I can tell you that I got this mount to replace one that was damaged when someone pushed our son's platform twin bed (mod style) across carpet and broke the leg off. The leg is a peg, about 1.5" across at the wide end, and has a "screw" (bolt?) that's less than a 1/2" wide (maybe 5/16"?) protruding from the wide end of the leg, so it can be screwed on to the mounting bracket. I'd say it's probably a "standard 5/16 hanger bolt," but that's a guess/assumption.

The bolts I have are 16.5" minus tip, and yes I do have broad heads for it. Either bird tip or broad head these bolts go to the end of the track, but I don't see why you couldn't use a longer bolt . Just understand I have used shorter ones not longer ones.

Yes, adapter shows a hole for bolt but I never use it . Adapter is hold very tightly I even had a hard time to pull out it after I took out step .

I think my earlier attempt to answer got deleted. These rails should be fine with any standard 16K hitch. Put the hitch base in the slots on the rails before you tighten the bolts that connect your rails to the underbed part of the hitch. That will make the hitch fit better.

I am not sure why you need the bolts since you have side rails. I bought the bolts because my head board did not have side rails and this was the only way to connect it. However, in doing so I forego the footboard since the metal framing did not reach the footboard and I did not want to buy an additional piece.

Hello;I use 5/16 bolts with washers and nuts. I have also made some clamping straps from 1/8" x 1/2"x 2" mild steel drilled and tapped to standard 5/16 threads.Hope this helps,Charlie

They extend far enough to be able to attach a footboard. I had a great bedframe, however it didn't allow me to attaché a footboard. This adapted it perfectly!

We attached ours to a metal bed frame without a problem except that one of the bolt receivers on the headboard was stripped. We used a screw an inch or so away instead.

I would double check the size of your drill bit. I used a 5/16 and had no problem. If this don't work use a scrap piece of pvc and work your way up in bit sizes until you find one that works. Good luck

hi, the 4 ends stick out a good foot from each side. Not a problem as this only weighs 10 pounds and can be pushed in (bentto touch the side of a queen bed. Thats what I did. There is no way to bolt the foot board to a bed frame so beware. 410 761 3366 glenn

These rails are designed to work with the 6.5' beds with a toolbox, as long as it is a fleetside (not stepside) bed.Thanks!Got-Chrome888.552.4766www.got-chrome.com

No, you can not attach a footboard. There is nothing at the foot end to attach it to.
