This United Plastics extrusion is a grooved-type rubber retainer that holds glass and panel inserts securely in a machined frame, supplied in a warm Fruitwood color on a 100 foot roll.
On a glazed cabinet door, the retainer is what keeps the glass from shifting or rattling in its frame without adding a visible stop molding or exposed fastener. The grooved type accomplishes that by seating into a groove machined around the inside of the frame opening. Press the strip in behind the glass, and the groove itself holds it, so the installation reads as a clean line rather than a mechanical detail. The practical consequence is that the frame has to be set up for it: if there is no groove, the grooved type has nothing to seat into, and the stapled type is the correct choice instead. The two are for different frames and are not interchangeable.
Fruitwood is a color designation, not a wood or species. It is a warm mid-brown that sits naturally against stained maple, alder, cherry, and similarly toned frames, keeping the retainer line from reading as a contrast detail. On a grooved installation the strip sits recessed behind the glass, so the color is subtle, but in lighter or natural-toned frames it still contributes to how finished the door looks. The extrusion is rubber, which is what gives it the flex needed to press into a groove and stay put without cracking or splitting at corners.
This retainer is a practical fit for cabinet shops and finish carpenters building or repairing glazed door frames that are already machined for grooved retainer, where a warm brown color works well with the frame tone. The 100 foot roll is a manageable quantity for a single project run or a small batch of doors, without the commitment of the 500 foot roll. It is an indoor product suited to cabinet interiors, door frames, and similar millwork applications.
Yes. The grooved type seats into a machined groove cut around the inside of the frame opening. If your frame does not already have that groove, you will need either to machine one or to use the stapled type instead.
No. Fruitwood is the color name for this extrusion, a warm brown shade. The extrusion itself is rubber.
100 feet.
No. Grooved and stapled retainers are made for different frame preparations and are not interchangeable.
