Five Hundred Feet of Stapled Retainer for Frames Without a Machined Groove

This United Plastics rubber extrusion is a stapled-type glass panel retainer supplied on a 500 foot roll. It holds glass and panel inserts in a frame by fastening through the strip itself, making it the right choice where the frame has no machined groove to seat a retainer into.

Key Features

• Stapled type, fastened through the strip rather than seated in a groove, so it works on frames without a machined groove channel.
• 500 foot roll, a shop-scale quantity suited to continuous production runs.
• Rubber extrusion, flexible enough to follow a frame's perimeter.
• Fruitwood, a warm brown that recedes against stained wood frames.

How the Stapled Type Works and When to Use It

Grooved retainer depends on a machined channel already being in the frame. The stapled type removes that dependency. Because it is fastened through the strip rather than held by a groove, it can go onto any frame where a fastener can be driven, making it the practical option for shop-built frames, retrofit jobs, and situations where routing a groove was not part of the original plan. The two installation styles are not interchangeable: the frame's construction determines which one belongs there, and ordering the wrong style means starting over.

Fruitwood on a Stapled Installation

On a stapled installation the retainer sits between the glass and the frame stop, so its color is visible from the front of the door. Fruitwood is a warm brown color chosen to blend into stained wood frames rather than reading as a hard black or white line. It is a color name, not a wood species or a wood finish. It will not match every frame exactly, but it is the natural choice when the frame is stained to a medium or warm brown tone and the retainer line should not draw attention to itself.

Where This Roll Fits Best

The 500 foot roll is the high-volume format. A shop running glazed cabinet doors in production quantity benefits from fewer roll changes and less inventory management than the 100 foot roll requires. Installers working on a single project or a small run are better served by the 100 foot length. This roll is also the right specification for a shop working primarily with stained wood frames where a warm brown retainer blends cleanly across a consistent run.

The Production Roll for Stained Wood Frames

Order this roll for shop production runs on frames built without a retainer groove, where a warm brown strip will sit quietly against the finished wood.
