M10 T Nuts

M10 D Nuts for Furniture Legs, Feet and Threaded Fixings

These M10 x 13mm D nuts provide a strong internal threaded fixing for attaching compatible furniture legs, feet, glides and other removable components to suitable timber furniture frames.

Commonly known as furniture D nuts, threaded insert nuts or screw-in furniture inserts, they are particularly useful in upholstery and furniture manufacture where a secure M10 fixing point is required but access to the reverse of the timber is limited or unavailable.

The D nut screws directly into a correctly prepared pilot hole, creating a permanent M10 threaded anchor into which a matching furniture leg, threaded stud or other compatible component can be fitted and removed as required.

M10 x 13mm Threaded Furniture Insert

Each D nut has an internal M10 metric thread and an approximately 13mm long insert body.

The coarse external thread grips the surrounding timber as the fitting is screwed into position, helping resist rotation and reducing the likelihood of the insert working loose during normal use.

An integral flange helps control the installation depth and spreads the load around the face of the fixing rather than allowing the insert to be driven excessively far into the timber.

The result is a neat, accessible threaded fixing suitable for repeated furniture assembly and disassembly.

Use it for Furniture Legs and Sofa Feet

M10 D nuts can be used wherever a compatible M10 threaded component needs to be fitted securely into a suitable timber frame.

Typical applications include:

• Sofa feet and furniture legs
• Armchair and chair feet
• Footstools and ottomans
• Upholstered benches
• Bed and divan frames
• Replacement furniture feet
• Removable furniture legs
• Furniture manufacture and production
• Upholstery repairs and refurbishment
• Suitable threaded glides and furniture fittings

They are especially useful where a furniture leg needs to remain removable for transport, delivery, repair or future replacement.

Always check that the selected leg or fitting has a compatible M10 thread before ordering.

Why Use a D Nut Instead of a T Nut?

Both D nuts and T nuts create an internal threaded fixing within a furniture frame, but they use different methods of securing themselves to the timber.

A D nut has a coarse external screw thread and is installed directly into a prepared hole. This makes it particularly useful where access is available from only one side of the furniture frame.

A T nut normally uses a barrel, flange and gripping prongs and is commonly fitted from the reverse of the timber.

A D nut may therefore be preferable where:

• The back of the furniture rail cannot easily be reached
• The fixing needs to be installed from the same side as the leg
• A screw-in threaded insert is preferred
• A neat recessed furniture fixing is required
• Furniture legs may need to be removed and replaced repeatedly
• The frame has sufficient depth to accept the insert

For an alternative M10 fixing method, compare these D nuts with Status Fabrics' M10 T Nuts.

Secure Coarse External Thread

The external thread of the D nut is designed to grip the sides of the prepared hole in suitable timber.

This helps prevent the fitting from rotating when a furniture leg or threaded component is screwed into or removed from the internal M10 thread.

Correct pilot-hole preparation is important. A hole that is too large can reduce the grip of the external thread, while an undersized hole may make the insert difficult to fit or risk damaging the surrounding timber.

Always consider the condition, thickness and position of the furniture frame before installing a threaded insert.

Simple Hex-Key Installation

The M10 D nut is designed to be screwed into the prepared timber using a suitable hex key.

Drill an appropriate pilot hole to the required depth and ensure that it is square to the direction in which the furniture leg will sit.

Start the D nut carefully and screw it progressively into the timber until the flange reaches its intended seating position.

Avoid excessive tightening once the flange is correctly seated. Continuing to force the insert can damage the timber surrounding the external thread.

The finished M10 thread should remain square and clear so the matching leg or fixing can be started easily by hand.

Check the Furniture Leg Thread Before Ordering

M10 refers to the nominal diameter of the metric internal thread.

a M10 D nut must therefore be matched with a compatible M10 threaded component.

It should not be confused with the smaller M8 D Nuts used with M8 furniture legs and fittings.

M8 and M10 threads are not interchangeable.

When replacing an existing furniture fixing, check:

• Thread diameter
• Thread pitch where applicable
• Existing fixing type
• Available timber depth
• Pilot-hole size
• Length of the threaded stud
• Condition of the furniture frame
• Required direction of the furniture leg

Do not force a leg into an insert simply because the threads appear similar. An incorrect thread may begin to engage before binding and damaging both components.

Furniture Feet, Legs, Glides and Castors

Furniture leg fixings form part of the wider system supporting the finished furniture.

Status Fabrics' Feet, Castors & Glides range includes wooden feet, metal legs, furniture glides and castors for sofas, chairs, footstools, cabinets and upholstered furniture.

Where the furniture simply requires a fixed or removable leg, wooden or metal furniture feet may be appropriate.

Where floor protection or easier sliding is required, browse the Furniture Glides range.

For furniture that needs to move on wheels, There is also Furniture Castors in a variety of fixing styles.

Always match the fixing system to the furniture component rather than assuming that a particular foot, glide or castor uses a M10 threaded connection.

Furniture Fixings for Upholstery and Repair Work

M10 D nuts are suitable for professional upholsterers, furniture manufacturers, repair workshops and experienced furniture restorers who need a reliable threaded anchor within a timber frame.

For alternative sizes and fixing methods, see the T Nuts, D Nuts & Fixings range, which includes M8 and M10 threaded inserts, fixing plates, furniture leg brackets, dowel screws and associated furniture hardware.

M10 four-prong T nuts for creating a strong, reusable threaded fixing point in timber furniture frames. Use it for attaching compatible M10 threaded furniture legs, sofa feet, chair feet and other removable furniture components.

The central threaded barrel fits into a correctly prepared hole in the timber, while the four steel prongs grip into the surrounding frame to help prevent the fixing from turning. Once installed, the internal M10 thread provides a secure anchor for a matching threaded leg, stud or furniture fitting.

Widely used in furniture manufacture, upholstery, repair and refurbishment, M10 T nuts are particularly useful where furniture legs need to remain removable for delivery, access, storage or future replacement.

Use it for use alongside compatible Wooden Furniture Feet and Metal Furniture Feet & Legs. You can also browse the wider Feet, Castors & Glides range for complementary furniture components.

Where a screw-in threaded insert is more suitable for the frame construction, see the M10 D Nuts. For other thread sizes and furniture fixing methods, see the T Nuts, D Nuts & Fixings range.
