ᐅ Which types of screws are included in the IKEA BRIMNES set?

I am currently planning to assemble the IKEA Brimnes set and want to better prepare for the installation beforehand. Therefore, my question to everyone is: Which types of screws are included in the IKEA Brimnes set? Specifically, I mean the different kinds, sizes, and possibly any special features of the screws provided. I want to make sure I have all the necessary tools ready and can get the right screws if I need to purchase more. Thanks for any detailed information!

The IKEA BRIMNES set typically includes several types of screws. These are: - Phillips head screws of various lengths (usually around 25mm (1 inch) and 40mm (1.5 inches)) for the main assembly - Wall plugs with matching screws for wall mounting - Connector bolts (also called Minifix) for the furniture parts - Cylinder screws for hinges and movable components. All screws are matched to the material, mostly particleboard. Important: The instructions clearly indicate which screw is used for each purpose.

Mainly Phillips screws, Minifix bolts, and dowels with screws are included. Tools? A Phillips screwdriver or a cordless drill is sufficient.

It is also important to know that the types of screws included in the BRIMNES set are chosen to grip well into the particle boards and wooden carcasses without damaging the material. This means that the lengths and threads of the screws are precisely designed for the required holding strength. If you want to order replacements, you should not just use any screw, but pay attention to the types specified by vinli. I have done this myself a few times, and it works well. If you like, I can provide you with a list of the common screw sizes I have worked with.

The most important screws in the BRIMNES set are: - 3.5 x 25 mm (1/8 x 1 inch) for the carcass parts - 4 x 40 mm (5/32 x 1 5/8 inches) for stronger connections - Minifix dowels with a length of 15 mm (5/8 inch) - Wall mounting dowels with a diameter of 6 mm (1/4 inch). Standard Phillips head screws, no special types.

A systematic overview: - Connector bolts (Minifix), about 15 mm (0.6 inches), typical for IKEA furniture, provide structural stability - Cylinder screws for hinges, usually 3.5 x 16 mm (0.14 x 0.63 inches) - Chipboard screws (Phillips head), commonly included in sets in sizes 3.5 x 25 mm (0.14 x 1 inch) and 4 x 40 mm (0.16 x 1.6 inches) - Plastic wall plugs, approximately 6 x 30 mm (0.24 x 1.2 inches) for wall mounting. Important: The screws often have a light metal coating for corrosion protection. If individual screws are missing, matching replacement sets can be purchased at IKEA or a hardware store, but attention should be paid to size and thread type.
