Clamping Shelf Supports 5 mm Bore - Pro Value Series HE282-23-725

Clamping Shelf Supports 5 Mm Bore For Cabinet Use

clamping shelf supports 5 mm bore describe a nickel plated steel support designed to sit in a 5 mm bore, so it fits standard 5 mm shelf holes often drilled in cabinet sides and uprights. The 5/16 inch long pin extends into the panel, giving solid engagement in the bore for dependable support of the shelf rest section. Two shelf rest pins with a diameter of 3/16 inch project from the main body, so the shelf rests on defined points instead of a broad seat, which helps keep the contact area predictable along a row of supports. Each shelf rest pin is 1/4 inch long, giving enough surface for the shelf edge to sit without excessive overhang. The shelf rest pin will accept shelves from 5/8 inch to 7/8 inch thick, so one part number works across common panel thicknesses used in cabinets and closets.

Key Shelf Rest Details That Support Daily Use

• The nickel plated steel support resists surface wear while the metal construction carries the shelf load, which matters when shelves are adjusted or removed repeatedly in closets or cabinet runs.
• The 5 mm bore requirement matches common system holes, so installers can use existing 5 mm drilling patterns and keep rows of supports aligned without changing boring setups.
• The 5/16 inch long pin engages deeper in the panel, which helps the support stay seated in the bore when shelves are lifted, shifted, or adjusted during layout changes.
• The two shelf rest pins, each 3/16 inch in diameter and 1/4 inch long, spread the load at two points, which supports the shelf edge and helps reduce rocking from front to back during use.
• The ability to accept shelves from 5/8 inch to 7/8 inch thick lets one style handle typical cabinet and closet shelf thicknesses, simplifying part selection across different projects.

Installation Fit Around The 5 Mm Bore And Shelf

The nickel plated steel support uses a 5 mm bore, so it presses into a 5 mm hole in the cabinet side or panel for a snug mechanical fit. With a 5/16 inch long pin set in that bore, the support sits flush at the panel surface while extending far enough inside to resist pullout from normal shelf handling. The two 3/16 inch diameter shelf rest pins project 1/4 inch, creating a defined shoulder that the shelf edge sits against so vertical positioning of the shelf is consistent at every support. Because the shelf rest pin accepts shelves from 5/8 inch to 7/8 inch thick, the same support can be positioned along the panel and still carry different shelf thicknesses while keeping the underside reference at a predictable height.

Using These Pro Value Series Shelf Supports In Work

Where Clamping Shelf Supports 5 Mm Bore Are Used

The Pro Value Series clamping shelf supports 5 mm bore are suited to cabinet, shelf, closet, and organization work where panels are drilled with 5 mm bores. The 5/16 inch long pin seats into the 5 mm bore in the cabinet side, so the body of the support establishes a stable face for the shelf rest pins. Those two 3/16 inch diameter, 1/4 inch long shelf rest pins extend into the cabinet interior, providing the landing points for the shelf edge along each row. Since the shelf rest pin will accept shelves from 5/8 inch to 7/8 inch thick, the same support can serve across different carcasses using these common thicknesses for melamine, plywood, or similar shelf materials.

Details That Matter For Repeatable Shelf Alignment

The nickel plated steel construction of this shelf rest gives a hard, consistent bearing surface, which helps the shelf sit at the same height and attitude across multiple supports over time. The 5 mm bore interface keeps the support registered in the hole pattern, so when holes are bored on a system layout, the shelf rest positions stay consistent from cabinet to cabinet. With a 5/16 inch long pin anchoring into the panel, the support resists tilting in the bore when the shelf is loaded or when the front edge is lifted during reconfiguration. The twin shelf rest pins, each 3/16 inch in diameter and 1/4 inch long, position the shelf edge on two points instead of one, which helps control side-to-side twist and gives a reliable reference line at the underside of the shelf. Because each shelf rest pin accepts shelves from 5/8 inch to 7/8 inch thick, installers can keep the same alignment strategy even when switching between those thicknesses in one job.

Common Questions About HE282-23-725 Shelf Supports

Selecting These Shelf Supports For 5 Mm Systems

The Pro Value Series HE282-23-725 nickel plated steel support combines a 5 mm bore fit with a 5/16 inch long anchoring pin for solid seating in cabinet panels. Two 3/16 inch diameter, 1/4 inch long shelf rest pins carry the shelf edge while maintaining a defined height along each row. With the shelf rest pin accepting shelves from 5/8 inch to 7/8 inch thick, one part number covers common shelf thicknesses used in cabinets and closets. For projects built around 5 mm hole patterns, this design keeps shelf positions repeatable while supporting typical loads in everyday storage use.
