The Aspen 8740 3 in 1 crib along with millions of other drop-side cribs has been recalled.

Here is the CPSP link reguarding this crib:
http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml07/07307.html

According to the CPSP information the company appears to be out of business to some degree and are not providing repair kits.

If you know where you purchased the crib, check to see what their policy is reguarding recalled baby products.

We had purchased ours at walmart almost 8 years ago and were able to return it to another store in a different state for a full refund last summer. They did not need a reciept received, they just needed the manufacturer label on the part that the mattress lies on.
Because ours was older, the customer service clerk did have to work hard to find the crip in their system, but once she did, it was not problem at all.

you really only have 2 options.

you can get a list of hardware from the manufacturer and go to a local hardware store and buy it

or

you can buy a kit from the manufacturer. I had a different brand crib, but I contacted the manufacturer and they sold me a complete hardware kit for mine.

Storkcraft had a recall on some of their cribs.IF it is a Storkcraft you have to call them and give them the model number.
These cribs were made between May 2000 and November 2008.They were sold until Jan.2009.
Even if your's isn't a Storkcraft you should be able to call the manufacturer of your crib and ask them.
Storkcraft,for one,did not post the model numbers that were recalled.
The manufacturing date can be found on the lower right hand corner of the instruction sheet which is glued on the mattress base.
The cribs were sold in various styles and finishes. The manufacture date, model number, crib name, country of origin, and the firm's name, address, and contact information are located on the assembly instruction sheet attached to the mattress support board. The firm's insignia "storkcraft baby" is inscribed on the drop side teething rail of some cribs.For more information, consumers may contact Stork Craft toll-free at 866-361-3321 anytime to order the free replacement kit or log on to the firms Web site.
These cribs have had recalls as well:

LaJobi and CPSC announced two recalls for 4,900 cribs.

First, 2,000 Bonavita "Cabana" cribs were recalled for slat failure -- the slats can come loose and/or break. LaJobi had ten reports of slats coming out of the rails and six reports of slats breaking.

Also, 2,900 Babi Italia "Pinehurst" cribs and Bonavita "Hudson" cribs were recalled for drop side failures.
Step 1 Register your baby crib as soon as you bring it home so you will receive product recalls automatically. Usually manufacturers ask you to register to validate warranty information but this will also register you to receive product recalls.

Step 2 Check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website regularly for recall information. This is a dependable resource that many consumers are not aware of.

Step 3 Visit your crib manufacturer's website occasionally and type in your crib name or number under their search option.

Step 4 Monitor the recall website www.recalls.gov that constantly updates recall information on all consumer products including baby cribs.

Step 5 Stay up to date with current news reports and printed media outlets. They are often the first to announce safety recalls and possible product issues.

Vancouver-based manufacturer Stork Craft is voluntarily recalling more than a million baby cribs in Canada and the United States over a potential suffocation hazard.
The cribs were manufactured in Canada, China and Indonesia between May 2000 and November 2008, the company said in a release.
About 494,000 of the cribs were sold in Canada and 535,000 in the U.S. in several retailers such as Wal-Mart, Kmart and J.C. Penny, as well as on several websites, including Amazon.com, Babiesrus.com, Costco.com and Walmart.com, the U.S.Consumer Product Safety Commission said in an advisory Tuesday.
If your's is one of them you can get free replacement they claim.
