Trying to take apart a bed frame. Does anyone have any idea on how to open these?
Thanks.

This is how I solved exactly the same problem in my bedroom:
It is a possibility that when the previous owner set it up originally they set it up that way for medical problems, like excess stomach acid. I've been told by doctors to raise the head of my bed before, but I never did. He just told me to put wood underneath the feet or wheels at the head of the bed.
If any of the screw holes match up where all the feet rest then try that. If the wood is not drilled out behind the holes you choose then pre-drill them.

Just about the only thing you can do is turn the cam 1/4 turn at a time and keep trying to separate the joint. These are usually easy to lock and unlock is why they are used. But if they were over tightened ever or the wood was repaired or even wrong in size like from a factory defect, you could find yourself turning these things back and forth all day because they will only unlock in one specific "sweet spot".
I know these cams can be frustrating and even cause people to second guess clockwise,counter clockwise, lefty loosey-righty tightly and so on.
