Clamping Glass Shelf Supports 3/16" Bore - Selby Furniture Hardware CN301521CHR

Clamping Glass Shelf Supports 3/16 Bore For Secure Holding

Clamping Glass Shelf Supports 3/16 Bore identifies a Selby Furniture Hardware metal support designed to lock a glass shelf firmly in place, giving glass shelving a defined mounting point inside cabinetry or display units. The support uses a rubber tipped nylon screw to grip the glass, so the shelf is held by pressure rather than relying only on its own weight. This clamping action helps keep the shelf from shifting during normal use. The part accommodates glass shelf thickness from 3/16 to 1/4 inch, allowing one support style to handle these two common thickness ranges on the same project line. The support area holding the shelf is 3/4 inch square, creating a compact but clearly defined bearing surface for the glass edge. A 3/16 inch bore pin, 5/16 inch long, sets how the support seats into a drilled hole in the cabinet side or panel.

Key Shelf Support Details For Practical Use

• This Selby Furniture Hardware metal support locks glass with a rubber tipped nylon screw, so the screw tip presses gently against the glass while the metal body carries the load, helping the shelf stay positioned during everyday opening and closing.
• The design accommodates glass shelf thickness from 3/16 to 1/4 inch, allowing one support type to serve different glass sizes on the same run of cabinets or fixtures where both thicknesses might appear.
• The 3/16 inch bore pin is 5/16 inch long, so the installer works with a defined drill size and depth target in the cabinet side or panel to seat the support consistently in each location.
• The support surface holding the shelf is 3/4 inch square, providing a compact, square bearing area that supports the glass edge while leaving space around it for adjacent hardware or design details.
• The part can also be used as a pivot hinge with a 3/8 inch diameter plastic bushing, allowing the same component to function as a pivot point when matched with that bushing in a cabinet or small door application.
• The finish option of chrome ties this glass shelf rest into other chrome hardware elements in a project, keeping the visual details consistent across hinges, pulls, or other visible fittings.

Chrome Glass Shelf Rest Installation And Fit Details

This glass shelf rest uses a 3/16 inch bore pin, 5/16 inch long, so the supporting panel is drilled with that bore size to receive the pin and hold the fitting in position. Once the body is seated, the 3/4 inch square support surface defines where the glass edge will bear, allowing the installer to align multiple supports along a straight line. The rubber tipped nylon screw then threads in against the glass thickness range of 3/16 to 1/4 inch, so tightening the screw sets the final clamping pressure and locks the shelf in its intended location. Using the part as a pivot hinge with a 3/8 inch diameter plastic bushing follows the same pin-based mounting, with the pin and bushing working together as the rotation point.

How This Selby Glass Shelf Support Works In Projects

Where This CN301521CHR Glass Shelf Support Fits Best

This Selby Furniture Hardware CN301521CHR glass shelf rest fits projects using glass shelves between 3/16 and 1/4 inch thick, such as cabinet interiors or display cases where adjustable or fixed glass storage is needed. The 3/16 inch bore, combined with the 5/16 inch long pin, aligns with panels drilled to that diameter so the support seats firmly in the case side or partition. With its 3/4 inch square support area, the fitting suits applications where the shelf edge needs a defined, compact bearing surface without taking up excess interior space. The chrome finish matches projects that use chrome-toned hardware, which can be important in visible installations such as retail fixtures or residential cabinetry with glass doors and shelves.

Why These Shelf Support Details Improve Daily Function

The way this support clamps glass using a rubber tipped nylon screw has a direct effect on day-to-day performance, because the screw compresses against the glass while the metal body anchors into the cabinet, helping keep the shelf located when items are placed or removed. Handling glass thickness from 3/16 to 1/4 inch means the same part number can be used across multiple shelf sizes, reducing variation while still achieving a tailored clamp on each piece of glass. The 3/16 inch bore pin length of 5/16 inch sets a predictable embed depth, which supports accurate drilling on production runs and helps keep all supports at the same projection for level shelving. When used as a pivot hinge with a 3/8 inch diameter plastic bushing, the same pin geometry provides a stable rotation axis, allowing small doors or components to swing on a consistent center. Across these uses, the combination of defined pin size, square support area, and clamping screw helps align glass or pivoting elements to the surrounding cabinet structure.

Common Questions About This Glass Shelf Rest

Selecting This Chrome Glass Shelf Rest For Your Project

This Selby Furniture Hardware CN301521CHR glass shelf rest brings a clamping metal support with a rubber tipped nylon screw together with a 3/16 inch bore pin and 3/4 inch square shelf surface, so glass from 3/16 to 1/4 inch thickness can be held in defined positions. Using one part for these thickness ranges and, when needed, as a pivot hinge with a 3/8 inch diameter plastic bushing lets the same component serve both shelf support and pivot roles. For projects calling for chrome hardware and pinned glass shelf supports, this part provides a clearly specified option to match those requirements.
