It is finding the right position on the on the knob and latch part . It took me a few tries but I got it. We are very happy with it. Not sure but maybe there might be a youtube video on them or a similar one that you can watch....Donna

I had the same problem, but after a few trys I stretched it full out and it worked, then I had a problem hooking it to the rails as they were wider, I found if you tip the plastic to the outside it will jiggle in place. I have enjoyed using them.

These are not just the cross rails, there is a center support with 3 feet that connect the 3 cross rails in the middle. Not really adjustable. Order the correct size bed frame. Minor adjustments of 1" or less are possible.

I bought a full size frame to replace the single rails on my antique headboard. If you are buying a frame with side to side adjustment, these should work just fine.

I had to install shims and other boards to make it less wobbly. I works now but out of he box it didn't. I almost sent it back but there isn't a lot of options in conversion rails. It ended up working but I got creative.

I just spent 3 days trying to figure this out myself. You have to buy a regular full size metal frame to use the sides of the crib as headboard and foot board. There are no actual conversion rails for it.

I am not familiar with your truck. I can't find a good picture of the bed, but it looks like you have plastic tops for the rails. Look at the front and see if you have vertical box like channels at the front and rear of your truck bed. If so, then the plastic rail covers are hiding the cut outs. If your bed rails don't have cut outs in the top (where stakes used to go when they actually used the beds of truck to haul things) you can't use them. Most trucks still have them, usually 2 at the front of the bed in the top of the rail and 2 at the back. Some long bed trucks have 3 sets with one in the middle. If you go stand in the bed of yor truck and look down on the top of the rails yuo should see rectangular cut outs in the top of the rails. They may have covers that are partially cut out of the bed liner that you have to remove to insert these. Usually it is obvious where these go. If your bed rails are smooth and have no openings in the top, you may not be able to use these. I would be surprised if there were no cut outs.

When u put the rails together make sure it is your size; either for queen or king. Read the directions carefully. We really like this bed. Only problem we had was the hardware was missing. After a phone call we received the hardware in 2 days.

I converted an antique bed that wasn't even double size. The length of the new rails is determined by the queen size box spring/mattress. The width is covered by the extensions that are in the rails. It is quite simple and easy.

It depends on the size of your wood frame. Mine is a king size and the frame is exactly the size of the mattress. I had a bed custom made and told them not to put any slats or supports for the mattress, as well as having them build the side railings to the exact height of this metal frame. Measure the interior dimensions of your wood frame; you may be able to use this by removing any existing mattress supports.

I believe the adjuster would allow for the width but length-wise it is made for a Queen bed. There should be a less-expensive full-sized mattress rails...

You may have installed headboard in the wrong place. Check the other frame if it has holes that arent used

This same thing happened to me. Regarding the previous commenters suggesting that it was just a tight fit or that I wasn't lining up the rails correctly was not the case. The filter I received was literally 3-4 inches too wide and was also only 4 inches tall. I think I just received the wrong size.

I installed this on a 40 year old bed that had metal side rails. I used self-tapping screws. If you are handy, a metal frame should not be a problem. If not, you will need help.

We used our excisting bedframe and everything lined up perfectly. Ours was a full size headboard, not sure of the brand we have, and I know this is not much help to your question, but you maybe able to also order a bedframe from them too. Sorry I could not be much help.

Agree that for a tight fit you shouldn't need them. In our case we actually had some room on either side - our mattress width was a bit smaller than the rail width when installed on older headboard/footboard. So I made up slats and also made small wooden spacer shims to drop in along either side to keep the mattress "centered" between the rails. Good luck.

I had the same experience at the beginning, but I took it apart and looked at the directions again. they are not the clearest but once I figured how it should go, it turned out well and it's a great bed. sturdy and unshakable. good make and great deal.good luck
