Leg Daddy University: Installing Hanger Bolts Into Sofa Legs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- In this edition of Leg Daddy University, we show you how to install hanger bolts into your sofa and chair legs without damaging the threads.
If you were to install the legs by grabbing them with pliers, the threads would be damaged, preventing them from being installed in your furniture.
Using this method - affectionately called the "Double Nut Method" around the office - You have an easy grab point for tools without damaging the threads.
In this video, you'll see Item # 103*601183, the Leg Daddy 2" Dark Finish Square Fluted Tapered Sofa Leg. We installed a 5/16-18 hanger bolt in this leg, but you could use the same method for other size bolts.

Nice job but a few tips:
If you want to use slip-joint pliers, move to the next slot channel that will allow the handles to come closer together and give you a better grip. If you are screwing into a freshly drilled pilot hole, use a box-end wrench or socket on the nut. The job will go faster, you won't chew up the nut and you will have more torque. Also, place a washer between the two nuts for the wrench or socket to rest on and help keep from unscrewing the bottom nut.
Common sense emerges from the primordial soup of this video. Thank you Ville.
About to make the legs now....soooo glad I watched your video first....cause I sure Wooda had some stripped screws for sure!!!!
Thank you so much! Very helpful.
What size is the pre-drilled hole in the leg?
And how deep should the pre-drilled hole go into the leg?
Thank you. This helped a lot! It’s what I kept searching for and I found everything except this…….you made it so easy, too.
Such a simple yet elegant solution. Thank you so much!
Great video! Loved the 2 nut solution. I'm sure that trick will carry into projects I haven't even thought of yet.
Thanks, had a rough idea you had to use two nuts and you have fully confirmed it for me. Good instructions great.
Very Helpful, Thank You !!
Just what I needed to know without a bunch of extra. Thanks!
This was extremely helpful. And wonderfully presented. Thank You!
gonna use this technique to hang some bolts from my ceiling. Thanks for making this video.
Exactly what I needed for my van build.
Thank you very much! Plain and simple video!
Thank you so much for this! I’m adding longer legs to my ikea platform bed, but I wanted to be able to install them like the officially branded ones
Very helpful. A simple job if you know how to do it. Thank you.
I'm glad I looked into this, I am putting taller legs on my computer desk, and I wasn't going to spend 13$+ on a hanger bolt driver for a drill for a one time project I will surely never use again.
Thanks this iams a great video and technique.
This is a great video. Thank you!
Thank you so much I needed this for my project it was super helpful you’re awesome!
Ok so for a REAL newbie, what size hole do I drill in the wood ahead of time? Normally when I pre-drill for a screw, it's only by a little...then I use a power drill to finish the job (not my hands).
- Thanx 4 sharing very useful, important info. Helpful & succinct.
Thank you very much!
A real good video thank you very much.
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to learn!
Thank you! This is a very helpful video.
Thank you!
Very helpful! thank you very much!
I'm getting ideas to go about raising our 3 seater lounger that was once a pull out sofa. I want to raise it 20cms and then I'll have to make an inner frame to support the weight of 2 elephants.
Thank You! Building bedframe risers with 4x4s
This the exactly what I needed! Thank you!
- VERY helpful video. Thanx 4 sharing. Now, how do you remove the entire foot without unscrewing it from the inserted bolt ???
Use a little glue in the pre-drilled hole of the foot when screwing in the hanger bolt. I have to do 6 of these for a Kluft bed box spring that is missing the feet. It has a thick 12mm bolt that NO feet on the market have, they all have the standard thread of 5/16.
Thank you for your service. AAA+
Great idea! Thanks.
Very helpful thank you!
thanks a lot for posting
That looks like a giant square recees
The hanger bolts on my Amish trestle table cross supports are stripped . Can I replace them with a larger wood bolt?
Thank you very much.
Thanks for the tip 🖒
You rock! Thank you!!
It would have been nice if you showed how to attach this into the sofa
Please I have a question. I have a low settee that I want to raise by 10cm, to be more comfortable. The wooden leg is 10cm and I would need a 20cm leg. The hanger bolt in at the moment is 48.3mm total length with only 23.3mm threaded for the wooden side. What length of hanger bolt would better or can I make do with the current length of hanger bolt? Many thanks, Tellytubbytennis.co.uk.
Excellent! Ty
you are actually turning the leg COUNTER-Clockwise :-)
Nancy Grace hosting DIY videos. Who knew 🤷♂️
Yep. That's helpful but to do it "properly", you shouldn't use pliers. That's just rough. Even using an adjustable wrench is borderline rough. The "proper" way to do it is with two spanners of the correct size. Using pliers on a nut is like using a bread and butter knife to tighten a screw.
Wow, your standards are so low. "Keeping the bolt straight" and precedes to dangle it in the air turning it by hand with a wrench. Unbelievable.
just gI know that woodprix has the best woodworking plans ever.
Very nice... Thank you for posting this.
