To secure your custom headboards to the bed frames, drill two 1/4" holes on each support. Exact placement of these holes will depend on your individual bed frame. Use carriage bolts, flat washers, and hex nuts to fasten the headboards to the bed frames through the drilled holes and the appropriate openings in the frames.
