Hi,

I stored a dining room table with the screws (as i thought) turns out i have lost them, is anyone able to advise what sort of screws i could expect to buy to replace them please?

Its a john lewis extending table.
Thanks

That's difficult to answer without taking a very close look. If you know the model name etc, I'm guessing that John Lewis customer services might be able to help?
Do you have any other photos of the fixing points?
 
apologies, thought id dragged all the photos in!

Do these help?
 
Look like 6mm but we have no idea on length as we don’t know how they are used?
 
Yeah, as foxhole alludes to, we don't have much to go on. Can you remember what the screws looked like? My guess, based on other John Lewis tables, is that they're a 6mm allen head coach bolt, maybe 65mm?? Loooong shot! Ha!
 
I reckon 65mm is a reasonable guess. They would pass through that mounting plate [for want of a better word] into the threaded inserts. That plate looks like about 30-40mm thick, so another 20-30mm of thread into the inserts.
Offer up the top to the base, align the holes and poke something in to measure the depth.
Search eBay for "furniture bolts" and you will see loads of them. The trickiest bit will be getting the diameter right.
 
Been thinking on this one. If you never intend to dismantle the table again, you might want to consider glueing the thing together. There are some VERY strong tube adhesives on the market.
 
Screwfix do dowel bolts in M6 various lengths
