What's It Called

[wolf63]

Does anyone know the name of the little plastic thing that goes into a hole on a bookcase? It is to balance the shelf on.

The bookshelf fell down - nothing to do with my not so little boy cat playing on it.

shelf support pins?

[jennyjoan]

usually called them plugs Wolf. You should have some maybe unused around the house.

[Islay]

As Prudie says they are called shelf supports you buy them in a bag 10 or so for a couple of quid from B&Q or Homebase.

Yep, plastic shelf supports.
I don't have any around the house...

You can get metal ones in B & Q, they will never break, much better than the plastic ones which go brittle after a while.
