Clamping Glass Shelf Supports 3/16" Bore - Selby Furniture Hardware X301521P

Clamping Glass Shelf Supports 3/16 Bore For Secure Shelves

Clamping Glass Shelf Supports 3/16 Bore describes a metal support from Selby Furniture Hardware that locks a glass shelf firmly into place using a rubber-tipped nylon screw, so the glass is held tightly in typical cabinet or shelving applications. The support accommodates glass shelf thickness from 3/16 inch to 1/4 inch, which lets you cover common glass sizes without changing hardware across a project. A 3/16 inch bore pin that is 5/16 inch long provides a defined mounting interface into the panel, giving you a consistent pin depth for repeat drilling patterns in wood cabinetry or casework. The support surface holding the shelf is 3/4 inch square, so the glass rests on a predictable footprint. A brass finish matches the GLASS SHELF REST, BRASS description, tying the visible hardware to brass-look projects where finish consistency matters.

Key Glass Shelf Support Details That Matter

• The metal support locks glass firmly via a rubber-tipped nylon screw, so the screw contacts the glass with a cushioned point while still clamping it, useful where you want a firm hold on the shelf.
• Accommodation of 3/16 inch to 1/4 inch glass shelf thickness means one support can handle these two common glass ranges, simplifying layout when working across cabinets using similar glass stock.
• The 3/16 inch bore pin with 5/16 inch length sets a known drilling size and seating depth, helping you plan shelf pin hole patterns and tool setups around this specific diameter and penetration.
• A 3/4 inch square support area under the shelf spreads the load over a small flat platform, so the glass rests on a defined square rather than a narrow contact point.
• The support can also be used as a pivot hinge with a 3/8 inch diameter plastic bushing, allowing the same part to serve in light pivoting applications when matched to the stated bushing size.

Mounting And Fit Details For The Glass Support

The 3/16 inch bore pin of this Selby Furniture Hardware glass shelf support sets the required hole diameter in the cabinet side, giving you a specific drill bit size for boring support holes. With a 5/16 inch long pin, the engagement into the panel remains shallow enough for standard shelf pin rows yet long enough to seat firmly in typical case sides. The 3/4 inch square shelf support surface defines where the glass edge will bear, helping you align the front reveal and side clearances around that footprint. Because the support clamps glass from 3/16 inch to 1/4 inch, you can position your bore line to suit these thicknesses while keeping the shelf level. The brass finish pairs with visible brass hardware layouts, so the support blends with other brass-toned components in a project.

Using This Selby Glass Shelf Rest In Projects

Where This Glass Shelf Support Is Typically Applied

This GLASS SHELF REST, BRASS from Selby Furniture Hardware belongs to the Shelf Supports class, so it fits cabinet, closet, or organization layouts that rely on pin-mounted glass shelving. The 3/16 inch bore pin dimension targets standard shelf support drilling in side panels, making it practical where you already use 3/16 inch pin systems for adjustable shelves. Since the metal support is designed to lock glass firmly via a rubber-tipped nylon screw, it works in situations where the glass shelf should resist casual shifting when items are moved. The 3/4 inch square support area suits glass edges resting near cabinet sides or partitions, giving the glass a consistent bearing surface. Its ability to clamp 3/16 inch to 1/4 inch glass covers common shelf stock in many woodworking and display installations.

Details That Support Repeatable Alignment And Motion

The combination of a 3/16 inch bore pin and 5/16 inch pin length gives a repeatable datum when laying out rows of shelf pin holes, which supports consistent shelf height changes between cabinets that share the same drilling pattern. Because the support uses a rubber-tipped nylon screw to lock the glass, the contact point helps hold the glass without a bare metal edge against the shelf, which can be useful when you want the glass clamped yet cushioned at the screw contact. The clamping range from 3/16 inch to 1/4 inch thickness keeps the same hardware viable when working through different glass thicknesses within that span, so installers can maintain alignment while switching material. The option to use the support as a pivot hinge with a 3/8 inch diameter plastic bushing adds another function, letting the same X301521P part participate in simple pivoting components where the specified bushing size is used.
