Installation Guidelines

• Confirm holes in cabinet panels are exactly 9 mm; too large and the pin will not hold, too small and it may jam or split the board
• Insert the pointed end into the hole and tap gently with a hammer; do not strike with excessive force as this may damage the panel
• Position one pin at each corner of the shelf, spaced evenly to distribute weight evenly
• For heavy loads, increase the number of pins or select a thicker‑diameter alternative
• To remove, pull straight out gradually; avoid prying which can enlarge or distort the hole
• Store in dry conditions; prolonged exposure to moisture may shorten the service life of the protective coating

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the exact recommended hole size?
A 9 mm diameter hole is ideal. Sizes between 8.5 mm and 9.5 mm will work, but 9 mm provides the most secure fit.

How do these differ from plastic pins?
Metal pins do not bend or snap under heavy loads and remain firmly seated for decades; plastic versions fatigue, loosen, and eventually break over time.

Are other sizes available?
Yes — shelf pins are commonly supplied in 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm diameters. Always measure your existing holes to select the correct fit.

Can the height be adjusted?
The pin itself is fixed length; simply move the pins to a different set of holes to raise or lower the shelf.

What is the expected service life?
When used indoors in dry conditions, they will remain rust‑free and secure for many years.
