3/8" x 1/4" Plastic/Zinc/Steel Shelf Support, Brass-look Finish 1000/Bag

3/8 x 1/4 Shelf Support For Cabinet Shelves

3/8 x 1/4 shelf support from Knape and Vogt is a Plastic/Zinc/Steel shelf support with a brass-look finish, so it delivers a metal-strength support point with a finished appearance that matches brass hardware lines in cabinetry and closet work. The pin diameter is 1/4 inch for a 1/4 inch hole, which fits standard drilled shelf-pin rows in many cabinet and closet layouts where 1/4 inch boring is used for adjustable shelves. The pin length is 3/8 inch (9mm), so the bearing point seats securely into the side panel thickness while keeping the visible support area compact under the shelf edge. The support measures 1/2 inch (13mm) wide by 11/16 inch (17mm) long, giving a predictable footprint that spreads load at the shelf edge to reduce denting at the contact point. This support is specified for use with the #KV129 rubber cushion, which allows a cushioned interface between the metal support and the underside of the shelf.

Key Shelf Support Details That Help On Site

• The Plastic/Zinc/Steel construction creates a composite support point, which matters when balancing metal strength at the pin with a shaped support body that presents a smooth, consistent bearing surface under cabinet or closet shelves during long-term use.
• The brass-look finish provides a brass appearance on the exposed portion of the support, which keeps the visible shelf pin area visually consistent with brass hinges, pulls, and closet rods in projects where finish coordination is important.
• The 1/4 inch pin diameter is designed for a 1/4 inch hole, which ties directly into common 1/4 inch system boring, so rows drilled on standard cabinet line-boring equipment accept this support without changing setup.
• The 3/8 inch (9mm) pin length establishes a defined embedment depth in the side panel, which helps achieve repeatable shelf alignment across multiple supports when hole depth is matched to the specified pin length.
• The 1/2 inch (13mm) width and 11/16 inch (17mm) length define the bearing area under the shelf edge, which spreads the load over a predictable contact patch and helps maintain shelf position in cabinet or closet runs.

Mounting Fit For 1/4 Inch Shelf Holes

The Knape and Vogt 346 BR uses a 1/4 inch diameter pin sized for a 1/4 inch hole, so drilling patterns based on that standard bore size take this support without adjustment to spacing or bit selection. With a 3/8 inch (9mm) pin length, the support embeds into the panel deep enough to locate firmly while leaving the shaped bearing surface free to contact the underside of the shelf. The 1/2 inch by 11/16 inch body dimensions define where the shelf edge will actually sit, which gives installers a clear expectation for shelf overhang relative to the pin centerline. Specifying use with the #KV129 rubber cushion ties the support to a matched cushioning element, so when that cushion is used the contact between shelf and support is buffered by a part designed for this footprint.

Using This 346 BR Support In Cabinet Work

Where This Shelf Support Fits Best

The Knape and Vogt 346 BR shelf support is part of the Shelf Supports class in the Shelf, Closet & Garage Organization category, so it fits work where adjustable shelving is built into cabinetry, closets, or storage runs using drilled side panels. The 1/4 inch pin diameter for a 1/4 inch hole aligns with common cabinet and closet drilling systems, making it suitable wherever 1/4 inch shelf pin rows are part of the design. Its 1/2 inch width and 11/16 inch length position the shelf edge over a compact, defined contact area, which works in face-frame or frameless cabinets where the shelf front needs clear room for doors and face hardware. The brass-look finish lets this support sit in visible locations such as open shelving or glass-door cabinets while visually tying into brass-finished pulls, hinges, and closet fittings.

Details That Support Consistent Shelf Alignment

This Plastic/Zinc/Steel shelf support uses a 3/8 inch (9mm) pin length and 1/4 inch diameter, so every support in a row locates at the same depth and diameter interface, which supports consistent shelf height across the cabinet run. The 1/2 inch (13mm) width and 11/16 inch (17mm) length create the same bearing geometry at each corner of the shelf, which helps shelves sit square when corresponding holes are drilled to the same layout. The brass-look finish on the exposed portion of the support keeps the row of pins visually uniform, which is noticeable on open shelving or glass-front installations where mis-matched hardware would stand out. The design is specified to be used with the #KV129 rubber cushion, which, when applied, provides a designed contact layer between the support and the shelf underside for controlled seating of wood, laminate, or similar shelf materials.

Common Questions About 346 BR Shelf Support

Selecting This Shelf Support For 1/4 Inch Rows

The Knape and Vogt 346 BR shelf support pairs a 1/4 inch diameter, 3/8 inch long pin with a 1/2 inch by 11/16 inch support body in a brass-look finish, giving cabinet and closet projects a defined bearing surface at each shelf corner. With construction in Plastic/Zinc/Steel and a specification to use the #KV129 rubber cushion, this support ties into a coordinated system for adjustable shelving. For 1/4 inch hole layouts that call for a brass-look shelf support pin with these dimensions, this 346 BR SUPPORT offers a clearly defined option to match that requirement.
