What order should I put these washers on?

Mcg4157699 on Sep 29, 2016The washer with the teeth is a pinch type. It goes on the outside. So first, put that on the bolt. The plain washer goes on the inside, you can see a groove on the metal plate where it fits. So. Pinch washer, put through hole, put plain washer, put table leg, screw it on. If you have a hand drill, use that as it tightens exactly and does not move afterwards. Good luck. Ray.Helpful Reply

Bill Kleinsorge on Sep 29, 2016The washers with teeth or split washers are "lock" washers. They are made so that a nut will go on easily, but when you try to unscrew, they dig into the nut to resist coming off. They always go against the nut and against steel on the other side, never wood. So, leg and bolt through the bracket, flat washer, lock washer, then nut.Helpful Reply

Margie Spenser on Sep 29, 2016The bolts go through the two holes in the metal bracket and then the washers and nuts go on the bolts so they only touch the metal.Helpful Reply
