    This helped me disassemble my neighbor's bookshelf, she couldn’t disassemble it herself, because she didn’t know how these “camlocks” worked and neither did I, but thanks to you, now I know, and now the bookshelf is disassembled, thank you for the video!

  • @DontNeedToKnow84
    @DontNeedToKnow84 Рік тому +2

    Are you supposed to turn the nut 180 degrees? That's what my IKEA manual said, but it took a good bit of strength to tighten it the whole 180 degrees, so I want to make sure I didn't budge the lock or something.

    • @HanDIYman007
      @HanDIYman007  Рік тому

      typically you turn it clockwise and should lock at 180 degrees. BUT there are camlocks where the pointy tip is at the opposite side -- in this case, you have to turn it 180 degrees BUT counter-clockwise. sometimes, it is hard to turn because you haven't pushed in the screw deep enough and the screwhead is catching/snagging on the camlock tip.

    Thank you. We were recently doing this, and the camlock kept releasing the outer frame panel. We couldn't figure out how to remove the camlock to analyze the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated appreciated. ❤
