Crib Hardware

Hi L.,

It sounds like you have a crib like I have for my daughter. She doesn't sleep in it anymore, but I don't want to get rid of it yet, it was a much better crib than the new ones are. There are not very many parts to it. You might be surprised that you have all of the parts. There are only four (4) bolts, and four (4) springs and the four (4) rods that put mine together. I can send you a picture of the hardware of mine if that would help you to find the pieces that you are missing.
Hope that helps.

WOW sounds like you got a used crib that wasn't taken care of very well. The mattress I know should sit on some springs that would attach to the inside of the crib on each of the main posts. I have a crib similar to what you're discribing but I do not know the names of the parts you need. I'd definitly try to find a website. Do a google search if you have too and find an manual or instruction book too or you might have to buy a new crib. Good luck!

My suggestion would be to log onto the website of the manufacturer there you should be able to find replacement parts. I once had a graco swing that was broken and i was able to purchase the parts i needed to replace on their website. They also had a 1800 # that was very helpful. Hope you find what your looking for best of luck to you and your husband with that bball team.

We had to replace all the hardware on our crib and went through www.productsamerica.com to get them. They walk you through everythinng you need and also send you instructions.

Hi L.,

I doubt this will help very much, but the parts you describe sound similar to a crib we were given, but luckily we had all the parts & an instruction book. It is an Evenflo Jenny Lind Single Dropside Crib that converts to a toddler bed. (www.evenflo.com). The instruction book is dated 10/2002, so the bed, though never used, is a model about 5 years old. The book applies to model nos: 012614, 012615, 012616, 012617, 014614, 014615, 014616, and 014617. The model no. on mine is on a sticker on the base of one of the endboards.

I think the pole part you describe is called a dropside rail/rod (2 total). The other parts that work w/ my system are the following: the lower "L" brackets (2 used under the mattress support), the small & large bumper springs (2 each, 4 total), the left & right latch (1 each), cross dowels (4 total), and a bunch of screws (some wood, some machine) and nuts. Depending on whether it has a wood mattress support or a steel support you may need a few more parts.

If you think this sounds like one of your model I could copy & mail my instruction to you. Let me know. I bet 3 boys will be lots of fun!

Good luck! J. (new mom of 8 week old baby girl)
