I'm looking for a reasonably priced source for a couple common hardware
items in moderate quantity.
What I need is the cam lock and cam bolts (bolts with machine thread,
not MDF thread) commonly used in knock down / RTA furniture, roughly
75-100 ea.
I also need the plastic (or metal) pin type shelf clips with the
retaining catch for 1/2" shelves to prevent them from tipping up in 100
qty.
I've found these items in small quantity (4) and overpriced form at HD
and Lowe's and searches of the Woodcraft and Lee Valley sites didn't
provide any better results.
Anyone know a better source?
Thanks,
Pete C.

I don't see anything even close to those items there.

I checked McMaster-Carr and wasn't able to find any of the cam-bolt
hardware. I found shelf clips for about $6/25, but not the style with
the safety catch.

Found them at http://www.outwaterhardware.com
Big selection, sold in multiples of 25 at very reasonable prices.
From their site:
"NOTICE TO WEBSITE VISITORS: We are a National Wholesaler, focused on
the commercial woodworking industry, not the retail trade. Therefore, we
have instituted a minimum website order of $75.00. We thank you for your
understanding."
Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Better is relative, but I guess this is as good a place to start as any
would be http://www.fastenal.com/web/home.ex
