Double-Sided Metal Shelf Pin (1000 Pieces)

Double‑Ended Metal Shelf Pins – Box of 1000

These double‑ended metal shelf pins are push‑fit fasteners designed to support shelves from both sides of the cabinet. Unlike single‑sided pins, both ends are shaped as locating pins — one end seats into the hole in one cabinet side panel, the other into the corresponding hole in the opposite panel. This dual‑point support eliminates wobble, sag, and unevenness completely. Supplied in a bulk pack of 1000, they are ideal for high‑volume furniture workshops and wholesale supply.

• Industry‑Standard Size: 5 mm diameter fits nearly all pre‑drilled holes in mass‑market cabinets and furniture systems
• Instant Installation: No screws, tools, or extra components — simply push into place
• Fully Adjustable: Remove and relocate to different hole positions whenever you need to change shelf heights
• Cost‑Effective Bulk Pack: 1000‑count supply delivers excellent unit pricing and simplifies stock management for continuous production

Installation Guidelines

• Confirm hole diameter is exactly 5 mm; select the appropriate pin size if your holes differ (6 mm, 8 mm variants available separately)
• Push the pin gently into position; do not force — excessive pressure may split the panel or enlarge the hole
• Ensure the pin is fully seated before placing the shelf; check there is no gap or loose fit
• Use additional pins for heavier loads — a minimum of 2 pins per side for standard shelves; 3–4 pins per side for heavy‑duty storage
• To remove, pull straight out slowly; do not twist or lever as this will damage or enlarge the hole
• Clear dust and debris from holes before fitting to ensure a smooth, firm seating
• Primarily designed for wood/particleboard shelves; for glass, choose dedicated suction‑cup or gasketed pin models

Frequently Asked Questions

How do these differ from plastic pins?
The solid metal body resists breakage and crushing; it will not deform under load. Plastic pins fatigue, loosen, and eventually snap — these maintain their grip for decades.

Do they fit other hole sizes?
This version is engineered for 5 mm holes. Sizes including 6 mm and 8 mm are available separately.

Can they be used with glass shelves?
Optimised for solid wood and board shelves. Glass installations are best served by pins with suction cups or rubber gaskets.

Will they work loose over time?
The precision‑fit metal shank stays firmly seated. If holes do wear, upgrading to a marginally larger pin diameter will restore the fit.

What is the return policy?
Unopened, unused stock may be returned within 14 days of delivery.
