Help required with un-assembling wardrobe

Just guessing, but I suspect that 1/2 turn of the screw & they should come apart.

 

Yup as malkie says , they're kd cam fittings , half a turn with a screwdriver will release them , bare in mind that they need to be in the right position to release properly so if they weren't fully locked then may need less than half a turn , you normally feel as you do it that it's loosened .

 

Possibly when the screwdriver slot is in line with the unit side, it'll be fully released.

Basically, turn it anti-clockwise until it feels loose - this'll likely be around a quarter to 3/4 turn. And usually the screwdriver slot will also be in line with the 'keyhole' opening in the fitting - does that make sense? (If it goes past 'in-line', then back it until it is.

Sometimes if you look real close, you'll also see an arrowhead stamped into the metal cam - if so, that should end up pointing at the side you are removing.

And there's always a hammer.

(Actually, it's possible that wooden dowels were used and have been glued... If so, the sides will need gentle - but firm - tapping apart.)

 

That'll do nicely...

 

Looking at the wardrobes, you need these.

 

Harsh.

But true.


(not really )

 

I'm not sure that they are not true knock down joints and only need knocking up to release, and then skipping.

 

More than likely, a quarter turn will reveal a space in the cam for the dowel to slip out sideways!

Mr. HandyAndy - Really

 

Cool.

How big was the blaze?
