2-1/4" Round Wood Grommet For Clean Cable Runs

2-1/4" round wood grommet for 1-3/4" hole is a one-piece wood grommet from Doug Mockett and Company, Inc. that finishes a drilled opening in desktops and other wood furniture. The maple construction ties visually into wood surfaces for a consistent look around the cable opening. The grommet is designed for a 1-3/4" bore, so it drops into a standard drilled hole while covering rough drill edges. An unfinished surface lets the installer sand, stain, or clearcoat during the same finishing schedule as the surrounding work. A radiused top softens the edge at the opening, creating a smooth transition from work surface to cable pass-through that blends into the furniture profile. The permanent wire hole cut out keeps a fixed opening for cords, so wire routing stays organized without additional layout work on site.

Key Grommet Details For Wood Furniture Jobs

• The unfinished wood construction takes stain or clear finishes during normal finishing steps, so the grommet can visually match desktops and other wood furniture panels on the same project.
• The round 2-1/4" grommet sized for a 1-3/4" hole covers the drilled edge completely, which hides minor chipping from the bore and presents a clean finished opening on desktops.
• The one-piece design with permanent wire hole cut out eliminates loose inserts, so the pass-through opening stays consistent during use and avoids extra parts to handle on installation.
• The radiused top profile eases the transition at the cable opening, which reduces a sharp edge at the work surface and gives the furniture a softer, built-in appearance.

Mounting This Wood Grommet In A Bored Hole

This unfinished maple grommet is made for a 1-3/4" bore in wood desktops and furniture panels, so installers can use a standard 1-3/4" bit to prep the opening. The 2-1/4" round wood grommet then drops into that drilled hole, allowing the rim to sit over the edge and conceal drill marks. Because it is a one-piece part with a permanent wire hole cut out, there is no separate liner to fit, which keeps the installation sequence straightforward. The radiused top sits proud at the surface, defining the cable path while integrating visually with typical rounded furniture edges.

Using The WG2-83 Maple Grommet In Projects

Where This Round Wood Grommet Fits Best

This grommet is intended for desktops and other wood furniture where cables or wires pass through a panel. The 1-3/4" bore requirement suits applications where a clean, controlled opening is needed in typical desk thickness material. Because the wood is unfinished maple, it can follow the same stain or clear finish schedule as the furniture, supporting projects that call for a continuous wood tone across the top and openings. The 2-1/4" round footprint gives enough coverage around the 1-3/4" drilled hole to hide imperfections from the boring operation, which is useful on visible work surfaces that carry data or power cables. The permanent wire hole cut out defines the passage route for cords, so the installer can plan cable paths with a known opening size at each location.

Why These Construction Details Support Repeatable Results

The one-piece design with no separate liner reduces part count on the bench, which simplifies layout and reduces handling steps as multiple furniture panels are processed. Since the grommet is unfinished, shops can process it through their standard sanding and finishing stages alongside the main furniture components, helping maintain color consistency job to job. The radiused top profile creates a gentle edge at the grommet perimeter, which blends with typical eased furniture corners and gives a uniform feel when multiple openings are placed along a run of desktops. Because the grommet is specified for a 1-3/4" bore, installers can repeat the same drilling setup across many panels, using a single bit size to achieve a consistent fit. Branding from Doug Mockett and Company, Inc. identifies the WG2-83 part as a defined catalog component, supporting repeat orders when the same opening size and appearance are required on future builds.
