Cylinder Shelf Support

Overview

Cylinder Shelf Support is an adjustable shelf support that seats into a line-bored hole to carry cabinet, bookcase, or glass shelves at the height you choose. This page summarizes how to specify it for volume furniture and cabinet manufacturing, including the dimensions and options that matter most to buyers.

Key Specifications

Specifications are configurable for OEM/ODM orders. Exact values are confirmed on the datasheet for your order.

How to Choose

• Shelf pin diameter and the matching drilling hole size (5mm is standard, 1/4" common in the US)
• Shelf thickness and material (wood, melamine, or glass)
• Load per shelf and number of support points
• Adjustable line-boring vs fixed positions
• Concealed vs visible support style
• Glass shelf support with a cushioned or clamped seat
• Cabinet, bookcase, or closet application

Material Options

Nickel-plated steel and zinc supports carry the most load; clear polycarbonate suits glass and display work where the support should disappear.

Finish Options

Nickel and clear are the usual choices. For glass and display cabinets, a clear or chrome support keeps the look clean.

Installation Notes

Line-bore the cabinet sides at 32mm spacing using a jig, insert the pins at the chosen height, and seat the shelf. For glass, add the cushioned seat so the pin does not contact the glass directly.

Buying Notes for OEM Orders

For OEM casework, standardize on one pin diameter and the 32mm system hole pattern across the range, and bundle the matching pins with each cabinet kit.
