Take one of the screws that came on the cot with you to the hardware store. You should be able to find some screws that match it.

Take one of the screws to your local DIY store or Builders Merchants, and ask the staff to help you find the exact right size you need. In some places they will only sell you a large packet (20 or more screws), but in others they will have a packet open and sell you the number you want.
On the whole the staff are really helpful, and know their stuff. As more DIY places are employing specificially trained staff to sell their products - a painter/decorator to advise on paint and wallpaper, a plumber, builders, electricians etc.

hi, you may need to go to the pros with this one, as there are thousands of screw types, if its the bolt type with the round nut that locates in a hole the best thing to do is to contact your local fasteners, we have one here call Essex fasteners, they sell every kind on metal fixing there is, look them up they may have a site for order and delivery, all the best with the little one,,Dan

Go to your nearest ALDI They are selling kits of nuts and bolts cheaply which should put a dozen cots together

if you take one of the existing screws down to the diy shop, you should be able to find one... if not the exactly the same, very similar that you will be able to use.
