It's a bolt on the hinge of a folding chair. No idea what the actual proper name for it is, though.

Can it be removed without destroying it or any part of the chair itself?

Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

I was thinking binding post too, but those just don't ever get tight like a rivet. It may still work, just be a little loose. Loctite is a smart idea as insurance.

Maybe add a nylon washer between the parts, so it compresses just a little when tightening the binding post. Would make for a smooth motion as a bonus.
