I have a metal frame with two slats nothing in the center. Would these work and what would I attach them to?

The top of the support is steel and has two pre-drilled holes in it. So whatever you attach the support to has to be able to be screwed into. If the slats are wood, you could get two of these and put one on each slat.

These need to be screwed into something like wood. I suppose you could drill holes in your metal slats and them use nuts and bolts rather than the screws that come with these, but drilling the slats would be tough without the right drill and bit. You might be able to get wood slats if your metal frame has a channel for them and then screw these in.

You need more slats. Bite the bullet, go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy some 1 x 3 oak slats, I have 4 all total. with the t-bar I recommended and one of the bed claws, you will be fine.

Attach them to the center of the slats if they are wooden to increase sturdiness

It all depends of where the bed needs support. If the spring box and mattress warp in the center you could probably place a piece 12" x 12" of 3/4 thickness plywood in the center underneath the spring box, but make sure a board of the spring box rests on it. If the mattress does not warp in the center and your spring box is firm, but your slats are weak you would have to place a support in the center of each one. hope this helps.

Unfortunately no. The bed claw is a replacement support leg. You would have to purchase something to attach it to.

It depends on the size of your wood frame. Mine is a king size and the frame is exactly the size of the mattress. I had a bed custom made and told them not to put any slats or supports for the mattress, as well as having them build the side railings to the exact height of this metal frame. Measure the interior dimensions of your wood frame; you may be able to use this by removing any existing mattress supports.

There are bolts included that I used with my standard metal bedframe. I attached very easily, and is secure.

Does this attach to the box springs or is there need for a separate slat that rests on the frame?

This didn't make a difference for me. As long as the screws are the correct size (width) they should work just fine and not change the sturdiness of the frame.

There are 13 metal slats that fit easily into brackets and then need to be bolted into the brackets. We didn't receive the bolts though with the package so we just used zip ties for stability.

The slats alone might pose an issue - I did not try it once I saw how far they would be spaced. I placed a plywood board from Lowe's ($12) on the slats to support my memory foam mattress and it works great.

The side rails and center rails have routed openings which the ends of the slats fit into. So the individual slats are not individually screwed on, however, there is no way for them to move out of place.

NO, This center support is not designed to work with beds that have wooden sides rails. Wood type side rails usually hook into the matching wood headboard and wood footboard. The wooden side rails often include a wooden lip on the inside of the rails where wooden or steel center support slats can be securely fastened with wood screws. Please feel to contact us for help with this type of center support. (Doug Belleville STL Beds Manager)

Should definitely work, but the two arms may be a bit too close if you want a balanced two-point support, not perfect for single point hang. The previous answer's tip on stud is a good one.

I have installed my mattress onto an existing steel frame.To insure adequate support I installed 2 pieces of 3/4 inch plywood cut to size( sanded one side or padded with an old blanket).Be sure to check for sharp edges on the steel frame and tape or pad to prevent cutting. The idea here is to provide support for the mattress along its whole bottom surface; I would assume wood slats, with proper padding, would work also but you would have to install a lot of them.

Hi Helen, Yes, this will work for you, as long as it is a solid base. If you do have a slatted bed frame it may not work, depending on the width of the gaps in the slats. We do have a 30 day return period if you find it does not fit your needs. Thank you for your interest-KathyeLuxurySupply Customer Service

Mine came how you see them. Frames will mount to any 6.5 or 6.75 space. Past that you'll probably have to get creative.

I have not done it, but it looks like it would be possible. There are two sets of pre-drilled holes on each side that appear to line up with the holes in my metal frame.

You would definitely need to anchor both end to the wall and possibly think about something to add rigidity on the straight expanse. We set our up as a "U" shape around the dog door in the garage and had to add aluminum angle iron to strengthen anywhere two panels were straight

I have never figured out how to attach my frame (which also came with no directions) to this. I have them as seperate units which seems to work ok... Wish I could be more help.

I did not use slats. The box spring is fully supported the length of either side and across the center.
