Frequently asked questions

Which bolts are used in furniture?

Furniture frames mostly use furniture (frame) bolts with wood nuts; metal frames use socket (Allen) bolts and rivet nuts; panel furniture uses minifix connectors and chipboard screws. GVN Güven Civata supplies all of them in various sizes and finishes.

What is a furniture frame bolt?

A furniture frame bolt joins wooden frame parts together with a wood nut; it usually has a flat or round head with a hex socket. It is widely used in sofa, armchair and bed base frames. GVN Güven Civata manufactures frame bolts in-house by cold forming.

What do property classes 8.8 and 10.9 on bolts mean?

The marking shows the strength class. The first number is one hundredth of the tensile strength (8 → 800 MPa) and the second is the ratio of yield to tensile strength (0.8). So an 8.8 bolt has about 800 MPa tensile and 640 MPa yield strength. Highly loaded joints use 10.9 or 12.9.

What is the difference between socket (Allen) bolts and hex bolts?

A socket bolt has a hexagonal recess in its head for an Allen key and suits tight spaces or flush finishes; a hex bolt is tightened from the outside with a spanner. Furniture metal frames and table legs usually use socket bolts.
