It's similar to a bolt and a screw. It's used to lock two sliding cabinet doors together. I don't know the name and I've searched for various combinations of words, but can't find anything. Please help.enter image description here

    Locking screw? But go back to the maker of the cabinet, they may offer spares.

    Close to a special type of toggle bolt (not the all anchor type) :i5.walmartimages.com/asr/… Commented Mar 9, 2022 at 20:42

    Unscrewed She Folded Over - good title for a romance novel. @EdBeal

    I propose that it doesn't have a name. "Folding Thumb Screw" (credit @sxx) seems as close as you'll get ... you'll find various finger-operated screws with heads that flop or fold out of the way. But to find one that looks just like this to match others in the same piece of furniture use you'll probably need the manufacturer and part number, not a generic name.
