Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your shelf support pegs:
- Identify Peg Holes: Locate the pre-drilled holes inside your cabinet or furniture where you intend to place your shelves. Ensure they are clean and free of debris.
- Insert Pegs: Gently insert each 1/4" steel shelf support peg into the desired holes. Apply firm, even pressure until the peg is fully seated and flush with the cabinet wall. Do not force the pegs, as this may damage the furniture or the peg.
- Verify Stability: Ensure all four (or more, depending on shelf size) pegs for a single shelf are at the same height and securely seated.
- Place Shelf: Carefully place your shelf onto the installed pegs, ensuring it rests evenly and securely on all supports.

Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Silverline shelf support pegs function by providing a stable and robust platform for your shelves. They are designed for static load bearing within cabinets and similar furniture.
- Ensure shelves are placed evenly on all pegs to distribute weight properly.
- Avoid dragging or sliding heavy items across shelves, as this can dislodge pegs or damage the shelf.
- To adjust shelf height, simply remove the shelf, pull out the pegs, reinsert them into new desired holes, and replace the shelf.
Maintenance
These steel shelf support pegs require minimal maintenance to ensure long-lasting performance.
- Cleaning: Wipe the pegs with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust or grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Inspection: Periodically check the pegs for any signs of bending, corrosion, or looseness. If a peg appears damaged or loose, replace it immediately to prevent shelf collapse.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pegs do not fit into holes. | Holes are not 1/4 inch in diameter or contain debris. | Verify hole size. Clean holes of any obstructions. Do not force pegs. |
| Pegs are loose in holes. | Holes are larger than 1/4 inch or have become worn. | These pegs are designed for 1/4 inch holes. If holes are too large, these pegs may not be suitable. Consider alternative larger pegs or repair the holes. |
| Shelf is wobbly or uneven. | Pegs are not fully seated or are at different heights. | Ensure all pegs are fully inserted and at the same height level. Check the shelf for warping. |
