Questions & Answers
We apologize for the fact that they are sold only in packs of ten
In each pack you will find screws as well. In addition to using brand new screws that came with the retainers, we also saved the original screws that came with the cabinets in case we needed those at a later date.
The size of 3/16 is larger than the size of 1/8. The product of 2/16 and 1/8 is 3/16, so 3/16 is larger.
There is no way that it is 5 1/4 inches long. The diameter of each of them is about an inch

The cabinet door frame it was mounted in was pushed out by an accident resulting in a valuable stained glass pane flying out. It appears that several of the retainers holding it in had broken, as they were becoming old.
On Amazon, I was able to find the exact product I was looking for. It was easy to lay down the new retainers, because they were strong and clear (an improvement over the previous brown ones). This kit included all screws necessary to mount the device. I'd recommend them for framing mirrors and other projects that require rear retainers, such as woodworking or art. These shells are also available in a variety of sizes, depending on the depth required.
Reached the glass but did not touch it. There is another reviewer who indicated that this is the larger size, but it certainly isn't. A recheck of the description would have been helpful. I gave it a 2 star rating since shipping took a long time and there is a $5 shipping fee. It is ridiculous to charge me 99 for returning when that is what I was actually charging for There is no way for me to return or exchange these, and I can't get my money back.
It didn't fit my needs because the size wasn't right. It was my fault, not the product's. My mistake came when I reattached the mirror to the dresser and accidentally broke one of the clips holding the glass to the wood backing that held the glass to the hardwood. Since the bedroom furniture belonged to my parents and is more than 60 years old, I wasn't able to find the exact clip on the Internet. While this clip was not quite the appropriate size, it appears to be durable enough to satisfy a need for a clip that is.
There won't be much use for these and they will go into the junk drawer to be used in the future. The hassle of returning it isn't worth it.
Parts have been missing from the item, despite being delivered on time. There seems to be a lack of quality control, as stated by others. The rubber offset was present in only 8 of the 10 offsets. There are no use for two of the clips. For 8 offsets, this is a very expensive option. A message has been sent to the seller, but no response has yet been received. Unlike the broken clips on the china cabinet, these 8 clips are perfect for replacing them. The only thing we would have liked is for all 10 offsets to be.
This product caught my eye on Amazon and I couldn't resist buying it. I was totally satisfied with their performance. Although I had no problems, it is important not to overtighten since they are made of plastic and will break if overtightened.
Hard plastic retainers in this case had broken and were replaced with these. Because they are flexible, I was able to position them to fit. They were a little bit shorter, but I moved them to fit. Exactly what I needed. As well as being flexible, the material is expected to last The crack is less likely to appear. I would recommend it!.
From a distance, they appear to be large and conspicuous. If you are attaching the base to a frame to hold glass, etc. , make sure that it is square against the frame, otherwise you might end up with a loose or, worse yet, a tight fit against the glass, in which case the soft plastic will separate from the frame. They are glued together, so they are attached to each other. Superglue will allow the crack to be repaired.
