Q relating to the locking pin associated with the minifix cam.

In this case a Very Ely wardrobe. Pins ste missing or lost and I need to source some urgently.

Are the EU24 pins ( identified as MN01 on the Very instructions ) standard sized with other similar pins and thus interchangeable.

They can be ordeted from click spares but would like to buy locally to finish construction urgently tomorrow maybe screwfix, Toolstation or similar. Can anyone advise please?

Do you mean something like Screwfix item 4840T ? Check the measurements to see if they’re the right ones.

They’re in stock at my local Screwfix and Screwfix are the same group as B&Q so maybe try there if not.

Is it just the pins that are missing? If so, take a cam, and the measurement from the edge of the board to the centre (I guess) of the cam hole with you to SF.

I suspect they are standard sizes, and it should be easy to determine from this.

If you have PVA, you can consider - if you want - placing a few drops in each hole and a little on the thread before screwing them in - wipe away excess that is extruded. I imagine the PVA getting squished into the surrounding particles and strengthen the board around the thread.
