What is the name of this attachment for a kitchen shelf?

[questions123]

Does anyone know the name of this pin that is sprung, so when you pull the little notch back, it retracts the pin, leaving you to move the shelf up and down.

I’m looking to buy a similar shelf with the same mechanism so I can rearrange my kitchen cupboards thank you

You could just use conventional pin shelf supports.?

Shelf support "Spring" with fixation | Gamma Fittings

PRODUCT INFORMATION For shelf minimum 16 mm thick (panel or wood). It consists of a plastic sleeve with a spring inside, which clicks the pin in and out. Installing the shelf is quicker due to the intentional leeway of the smooth pin heads, which slot into position without damaging the holes...

Thanks if I did that how would I get the shelves out again? With ones pictured I can retract the pin to move it up and down

They just pull out the holes.

There's a chance it's a variety of library clip.

Thanks - do you know a good place to buy the custom width shelves ?

Custom width? Just pop to B&Q and if they don't have one the right width get them to cut it down at their cutting desk (check whichever B&Q you visit has a cutting facility).

 

[questions123]

Ah thanks. Hopefully I can do that online. (Not near a b and q)

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

You can get anything online of course but it may be quite costly compared to the likes (and simplicity) of B&Q. You might have a local timber mill locally who can cut to suit. But generally kitchen shelves are all standard sizes anyway.

Sheet of white conti-board is a cheap option.
