These Spaceballs inserts are 0.26 inch round panel spacers from Space Balls, supplied 1,000 to the order. They sit in the frame groove around a floating cabinet door panel, centering it and eliminating rattle while still letting the panel move seasonally.
A floating panel is intentionally not glued into its frame. That freedom lets it expand and contract with seasonal humidity instead of transferring that force into the glue joints. The problem is that a loose panel drifts and rattles. These spacers resolve both: placed in the groove before the panel is dropped in, they compress against the panel's edge, hold it centered, and keep it quiet while yielding as the wood moves. The result is a door that feels solid and sounds solid without locking the panel in place.
At 0.26 inch in diameter, these are chosen against the groove the door program cuts. The 1,000 count is the entry point in this range, which suits a shop building frame-and-panel doors as part of a mixed product line rather than as a dedicated production run. The same spacer is available in larger quantities for higher-volume work.
Custom cabinet shops, furniture makers, and finish carpenters building frame-and-panel doors in moderate volume will find the 1,000 count a practical stocking quantity. It is also a sensible starting point when switching to this spacer form for the first time, before committing to a larger pack. These are a shop-supply item: having them on the shelf means floating-panel doors go together without a parts delay.
Usage depends on the door size and your shop's practice. Follow your door program's guidance or your established standard rather than a fixed count.
No. The diameter is chosen against the groove your door program cuts. Confirm the groove size before ordering to make sure the fit is right for your setup.
Yes. The same Spaceballs 0.26 inch spacer is available in larger counts for higher-volume production.
Round. These are ball-form spacers described by diameter. They are not rectangular inserts.
The 1,000 count is the right starting quantity for a shop that builds frame-and-panel doors regularly but not at full production volume. Order it, put it on the shelf, and stop thinking about panel rattle.
