Need help identifying type of bolt and nut setup.

[Chunkee]

The nuts that go through the wooden slats and the angle iron enter the wood and shaped like a barrel and have a large torx slot. Anyone know what these are called and where to get some? I tried Home Depot...

The nut prevents easy removal and encompasses a large portion of the bolt and allows compression against the wooden slat.

Thanks.

does it have a square shank underneath it? if so i would think you can use a regular smooth carriage bolt.

or are you saying you can't access the nut on the other side?

if it's just a button head torx you should be able to get them online, if nothing else.

in the pic, you are seeing the "nut" part. in the middle you can see the end of the carriage bolt on.
