FAQs
What is the weight capacity of each pin?
Each pin is tested to hold up to 50kg, providing substantial support for shelves.
What size hole do these pins require?
These pins are specifically designed for holes that are exactly 3mm in diameter.
Can these pins be used in metal cabinets?
These pins are designed for wooden or composite furniture with 3mm holes. They may not be suitable for metal shelving systems unless they precisely match the hole size and material requirements.
How many pins are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 12 nickel-plated steel shelf pin supports.
What is the material of these shelf pins?
The pins are made of steel with a nickel finish.
Are these pins adjustable?
No, these are fixed support pins designed for specific hole sizes and do not offer adjustability.
Troubleshooting
Shelf wobbles or feels unstable
Check that all four pins are fully inserted into the 3mm holes and are at the same height. Ensure the shelf is properly seated on the fixing lugs of each pin.
Pin does not fit into the hole
Verify that the hole is exactly 3mm in diameter. If the hole is slightly smaller, it may require careful reaming with a 3mm drill bit. If the hole is larger, these pins will not provide a secure fit.
Nickel finish appears dull
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. For minor dullness, a very lightly dampened cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the pre-drilled holes in your furniture are exactly 3mm in diameter. Insert the pins firmly into the holes, ensuring the twin grooves grip the material. Place the shelf onto the pins, making sure it sits level and securely on all support lugs.
Compatibility: These pins are exclusively designed for use in furniture with 3mm diameter holes. They are compatible with wood, particleboard, and MDF shelving where the hole size is precise. They are not designed for metal shelving units or systems requiring different pin sizes.
Care: To clean, wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the nickel finish. Ensure pins remain dry to prevent any potential corrosion over time.
