What would you do to lock the tabletop to the frame but not permanently? I was thinking simply using chains. The color of the top has been edited in the photo

>>3004164Our antique dining room table has a couple of these holding the top on. I've heard them called sash locks because old double hung windows use them. I can't fine their real name.
>>3004177>I've heard them called sash locksThat's what they're called. For whatever reason retailers list them as "window sash lock".
>>3004164man what a weird picture, I thought it was the top-down view of the outer top corner of a weird table, not the underneath view of a normal one

>>3004164>lock the tabletop to the frame but not permanently?Screws are not permanent.Screw through the ends of the tabletop rails into the corner blocks on the frame.
I think slide bolts at the corners would be elegant, you may need to add a bit of wood for it to slide into though.
Interesting replies, thanks
