We are trying to put our crib back together, and we are wondering where the spings go on the drop rail side of the crib. We have 2 larger springs and to small ones.

I have a 5918-505 mI put it togehter for the first time since 1980 I had no problems once I located all of the parts: 4 metal guide rails, 2 wooden ends with 2 wheels in each, 2 wooden drop sides (or front and back that go up and down.) 2 metal toe kick rails that hold the sides up, 1 mattress springs, 4 metal mattress spring supports. attached to the inside of the wooden ends are 4 hanger pieces for the mattress spring support to hang on.

I could supply photos if needed.

ok first thing first ,  some graco cribs and other products from 2002 -2010 are being recalled , so what crib model do you have? second , putting together a crib is very easy , . First , take the head board and stand it up , next find the side railings and one by one put the screw thru the rail and into the headboard , hold it in place untill it is where it needs to be , then put the second railing on , the screws should go thru the rail and into the headboard with the headboard in back of the rails, after the rails are secured then hold the foot board in place untill the screws are fastened into the rails as well , after you do this , then go around and make sure all the screws are tightned, then take the mattress spring and place it inside the setup rails and screw it unto the places alotted for the screws , then after this , place the matress inside and your done....if this doesnt help , please email me at [email protected] and tell me which model it is

Did you ever find the instruction for your Crib? We have the same issue with our Crib.

Start with www.evenflo.com
If they don't have it,you could try places such as www.productsamerica.com
New/used shops sometimes have cribs that have seen better days,but some of the parts are still good.
Hope this helps.

found instructions online

called the people we got it from and they came and put it together. It would have been impossible without them or instructions

The front rail(drop rail) has a little plastic piece attached to it that reads "push".  This will be on the bottom.

if you have the conversion kit for the crib to convert to a toddler bed, you should also have the white caps that go one the end of the guard rails for the toddler bed. I found with mine that they are the same ones as that are on the stationary side of the crib on the back side. if you do not mind having a crib with out a drop side you can remove both tracks and take those pieces and make it a stationary crib by merely following the way the rear side is put together. I have done it with mine as a guide was broken on mine. there should be four caps in the conversion kit that go on the two rails on the front side when you convert to a day bed. I figured out that they are the same as the ones on the back because you do actually use the ones off of the back side when you make it a toddler bed and put all four rail on.
