Prime Line Products U 10170 Shelf Support Pegs 8 Pack

Product Description

The PRIME LINE PRODUCTS U 10170 is a brass-finish shelf support peg set designed to hold adjustable shelving in place inside cabinets and bookcases. Each peg is constructed from heavy-duty steel with a brass finish and features a 5mm peg diameter. The set includes 8 pegs and each peg is rated to support up to 25 pounds, giving a combined support capacity of up to 100 pounds across four peg positions. These pegs are a straightforward hardware item installed by carpenters, finish contractors, handymen, and knowledgeable DIYers during cabinet builds or shelf adjustments.

These shelf support pegs are suited for residential and light commercial cabinetry applications. Common install locations include bookcases, stereo cabinets, and general storage cabinets where glass or wood shelves need to be repositioned at varying heights. The 5mm peg diameter is a widely used standard size in pre-drilled cabinet systems, making this set a practical replacement or supplement for missing or damaged shelf pins in existing cabinet installations.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty steel construction with brass finish for durability and corrosion resistance
• 5mm peg diameter fits standard pre-drilled cabinet shelf pin holes
• Rated at up to 25 pounds per support peg
• Supports both glass and wood adjustable shelving
• Pack of 8 pegs provides full four-point support for two shelf positions
• Use pliers to remove stubborn or stuck pegs without damaging the cabinet

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5mm shelf support peg replacement suitable for bookcases, stereo cabinets, and storage cabinets with pre-drilled 5mm shelf pin holes. Avoid use in holes where the diameter has been widened, as a loose fit will reduce load capacity and shelf stability.

Installation Notes

No special tools are required for standard installation — pegs press directly into pre-drilled 5mm holes by hand. If a peg becomes stuck during removal, use pliers rather than prying against the cabinet wall to prevent damage to the hole or cabinet finish. Do not install in holes with a widened or damaged diameter, as the peg will not seat securely and may fail under load. Verify that each peg is fully seated and level before placing shelving.
