Gold coloured Ikea furniture bolts that you screw in with a hex key are the same.
And I'm also pretty sure the majority are 1/4 whitworth.

The correct thread is 1/4" Whitworth (BSW). A 1/4 UNC screw will fit, though not technicaly correct as the tooth angle is wrong (BSW 55
degreee, UNC 60 degree).
