We don't know how to install the bar correctly on the sliding gate side of the crib.help!

If you are using the correct end of the bar (not the end with notches and buttons) it should slide right over the end of the bar and wires.

This is tricky but I have put it together and taken it apart countless times (3 kids, 2 houses and everyone switching rooms). All of the screws keeping the crib together need to be as loose as possible without the crib coming apart. I found it easiest to have someone help so they can help hold the crib. It's important not to pull the drop side apart as it will break the plastic slides (I've done this and had to replace them). Have your helper hold one side of the drop crib right against the side piece of the crib and slide the drop side down to detach it from the side your helper isn't on. once this side is detached do the same for the opposite side. On the crib side that attaches to the drop side is a "screw" that slides down the plastic slide and a "peg" at the bottom. I always get the peg out of the track and then you can slide the screw all the way down the slide to get it out.

Aunt Sissy 588,
The sliding 'gate' is fixed with screws which will require a flat tip or star tip screw driver and likely a small Allen key of between 3 and 5mm (1/8" and 3/16"). With a little thought and removing all items associated with the vertically sliding 'gate' ONLY you should end up with a lovely stable day bed at no cost.

Use the allen wrench that came with the crib to slightly loosen the two bolts on the moveable gate side (bottom) then shimmy the sliding gate out of the tracks. I did it myself with verbal directions from the store - should be easy.

I'm betting your crib is one of the ones that is recalled for that drop-side trigger lock that is supposed to move the side of the crib up and down. If so, they will send you the correct parts to fix that problem for free. Look here:http://www.deltacribrecall.com/

Also here is a website www.productsamerica.com that sells crib replacement products.

I'm guessing there wouldn't be a problem shipping to Vietnam.

having trouble putting together a 20-year-old crib for a grandbaby. The Release Lock Slide side and the bar below it I think are the problems. Can't the the slide to work

Most of the cribs that you buy have directions on the bottom of the mattress board on how to assemble. They might not be word for word, but its pretty informative. Hey, it does have pictures! LOL

Assembly for crib

First, I recommend going back where you bought it.

Is it a difficult piece you want to replace ?

If it's a simple clip you might be able to go to the hardware store, sketch out the part you need and they will probably be quite helpful in getting you something that will replace it.

I searched high and low but I could not find any replacement parts site for your particular crib, sorry.

Good luck though.
