Looking on eBay I have several choices.

I believe the pegs are 5mm and the shelves are 5/8"

This is like what I have for shelf pegs:

Would this shelf peg work?

Or would these work?

Or I can get an assortment that has all of these except the plastic one.

What ones will work? I would really like to get away from plastic and get metal shelf pegs.

The only advantage the plastic has over the metal ones is that they have the locking noogie to hold the shelf down. All of the other will work just fine.

Our inability to change everything should not stop us from changing what we can.

Hi Anne,
Don't know how close you are to a town but most Ace Hardware stores carry a selection of shelf pins in their nuts and bolts aisle. You could call them to make sure they carry them. Take one there with you and they can help you decide if they are interchangeable with your cabinets. Some are and some aren't.

permaculture is a more symbiotic relationship with nature so I can be even lazier. Read tiny ad:
