Why won't this work w/steel hookin rails? Bed has metal rails attached to wood sides that hook into headboard. If these mount width wise why not work

I used this center support for something else. What you do is assemble it with legs adjust short of what your extisting bed. Then set it near the middle and slide and turn until the This item is made for a bed frame with angle iron. The only suggestion I can make is you would have to use bolt to the hook. If this is impossible, I would attach angle braces you can get at the hardware store and screw or bolt them to the wood siding. If you haven't bought this yet, don't. If you haven't used, return. It really wasn't made for the hookin rail setup. Look around and ask some questions. There has to be someone who makes what you are looking for. Good Luck!

Velocity, Our CS3L is designed to work with most steel hook in rails. The type of side rails you speak of are not free standing and are often made of wide rolled steel making the BL1 too wide to fit. The BL1 is designed to fit inch and a quarter or inch and a half angle iron. The second issue is that the BL1 Big Lift Support is built specifically to fit free standing / standalone / Hollywood type frames. Additionally these frames can bolt up to a headboard or headboard and footboard. (Doug Belleville STL Beds Manager)

To mount to the rail you will need a screw less than the rail thickness, for example the typical rail is 3/4" to 1' thick so i use a #8 wood screw that is 3/4" as the bracket itself will prevent the screw from coming out the face side of the rail. for the head board itself i use #8 coarse thread screw of an appropriate length as above . these work well.

I'm not quite sure I understand the question. I removed my wooden rails and this attached to the head-board. If you are looking for a supportive rail for the wooden rails there are different products out there for that.

If you want to add a head board you will need special attachments to do so. Amazon sells these attachments. Otherwise, if you already have a complete bed frame this just slips inside of it. I hope this information was helpful to you.

Depends on the rail I think. Side rails usually have straps that slide under the mattress. Some wrap around the box spring but others have a 'catch' (on the other side of the bed) at the end of the strap. I would think it could be worked out. In fact, I tend to think even the ones that wrap around the box spring could wrap around the platform portion of the bed in the same way

A steel bed frame has multiple horizontal slots so you can line it up with any headboard. if a woodbox foundation is like that also then I'd say yes. Sorry, I'm not familiar with them. Otherwise after several months we still love this headboard!

I purchased this headboard for my queen size bed. We have a regular metal frame with a boxspring and pillowtop mattress and it looks fine. The only problem we have with the headboard is that since it is mounted to our metal frame, there is a lot of movement if the bed is not up against the wall. We have the bed in front of our window which is fine--I just cannot sit up in my bed, with a pillow behind my back and read a book!

You must have meant a king size bed frame. That is pretty much what I did with this item. I connected a full size headboard to a queen size bed frame. This item allowed me to use the original bolts and nuts to attach it to both the bed fame and the headboard. It isn't real sturdy this way but it works fine for aesthetic purposes.

I had the same situation and it worked out. There's a few things to consider... the hooks on the ends must match firstly, which is hard to calculate unless you know what the prior ones looked like. There's a good change they WILL work, because they were somewhat common across beds, but there are exceptions. The length is a 'standard' length - so the basic question to find out is... will the hooks properly hook into your headboard and footboard. If you DON'T have the originals, find the cheapest set of adapter hooks (not the bars, just hooks) that appear to match those on these rails, order them, and if they fit, return them and order these bars. Secondly, make sure that you have a normal length mattress. That would be likely unless your mattress/box spring themselves were antiques and well... who would like that? ;)

I see no reason why this would not work as these pieces are only required to match up with the position of the holes on the bed frame and headboard which are exactly the same size universally, twin to king. The pieces only fit the ends of the frame not the length of the frame. Incidentally, I have a spare set of these.if you'd like them. Message me here on Amazon or contact me via email at ASpriggs80@gmail.com. I'm happy to drop them in a bubble mailer and send them to you.

Might be a little more information then you wanted but to be sure..... I use mine on a Queen size frame so I don't think you will have any problems. I have 2 pairs, one for the headboard and one for the foot-board. This model is designed to hold your head/foot-boards just off the ground so they do not support any weight from the bed. (There is a different # adapto-hook if you want the head/foot boards to support the weight of the bed.) Since these attach to the ends of the bed-frame whatever the size of the frame will determine what span head/foot-board you can use. There is also additional horizontal adjustment built into the design to get your fitment just right. I would expect you should not have to bend any metal to get it to fit.

It does attach to a standard metal bed frame. I have the headboard near the wall I wouldn't put all my weight on it but it is sturdy. I think it's a good headboard for the money. The hardware was included not always the case.

If the rails that you are replacing "hook" to the headboard and the footboard (and do not screw on) then it should work.

I would think that you could mount them to the side of the bed rail. You would have to screw them in though.

Hi Mike, hooks are on both end of rail so you can connect headboard and footboard. Hope this helps.

My headboard is 1 1/2 inches wide, and I had to adjust it to fit. Since the hanger is metal, it can be made wider with a wrench or other such tool, depending on how wide the log is. If it is too wide, it may not hold.

I use a regular box spring and standard metal frame under it and have the headboard attached to the metal frame. The headboard looks great I just love it. It's slightly lighter in real life than the pictures. Amazon doesn't sell the complete bed ( the matching frame with would hide the box spring) but an easy solve was getting a tailored bed skirt. It really looks great. As far as the metal platform you're referring to I'd assume as long as there is somewhere on the bed to attach the headboard to it should work. But I think just a standard box spring frame would be all that's needed. I hope that was helpful.
