The process of installation is that the pieces of wood needs to be joined when they are being aligned after which the bolt hole is found being drilled through one piece of the wood and into the other. Barrel nuts are the ones which are also found quite common in the flat-pack furniture wherever the long bolts as well as the barrel nuts are the ones which are found being used to hold together the T joints.

4. Cage Nut: ( Types of Nuts )

A cage nut or a caged nut is also very commonly known as a captive or a clip nut which is found consisting of a square nut in a spring steel cage and is the one which is wrapped around the nut. Whenever the wings are found being released they are responsible for holding the nuts in particular position behind the hole. Cage nuts are found being used from the year 1952 and 1953. The design of a cage nut was the one which is found requiring the insertion tools in order to install the cage nut into the hole. The newer designs are the ones which also feature a squeeze as well as they release the tab which allows for the tool-less installation.

The square-hole cage nut are technically known to be those nuts which can easily be used at al those places wherever a square hole is found being punched as per its need. This is an older type of captive-nut which is found using a spring clip that usually holds the nut as well as slides on the edges of a thin sheet.

The nut is found having its application usually in the slightly loose cages which are found allowing the minor adjustments in terms of its alignment. This is responsible for reducing the likelihood wherein the threads gets stripped while the equipment installation as well as the removal. The dimensions of the spring steel clip is responsible for determining the thickness of the panel for which the nut is found being clipped. In this case the clip dimensions are responsible for determining the distance within the panel edge and the hole.
