Just done a schoolboy error and thrown away the packing for a bathroom cabinet I was fitting at my sons along with the brackets that hold the glass internal shelves.

they fit into holes in the rear of the cabinet.
Hopefully someone will know what they are called or even better where I can get some.
unfortunately no name on the cabinet and they are no longer available on amazon where i bought it from, should have fitted it sooner!
Ive asked some one on amazon selling what looks like the same cabinet but they cant supply just the brackets.
Any help accepted.

sorry pics are sideways

Just cylindrical shelf pins aren't they? Measure the diameter of the holes, it's probably 5mm or 6mm and then go on amazon for shelf pins. Loads on there, simple cylindrical or ones with one side flattened.

Glass shelves often use pins with a rubber coating on the shelf side but it's not essential.

What diameter is the hole - 5mm?

Can you get away with using a standard 5mm shelf pin/stud?

Shelf pins with a flat on. Available off the shelf in Wickes etc.

I think these brackets cantilever from the holes in the back of the cabinet no hole at the front so normal pin brackets will not fit.
the back of the cabinet is a mirror so looks like a row of two holes but there is only one

They look like ours:





Which at least might give you an idea of the shape of the bracket. Our cabinet was a Chinese brand called Quavikey from Amazon, but I suspect they use generic parts. They hold a glass shelf top and bottom and as you say, cantilever off a pin and the body of the support in the track to the rear of the cabinet. HTH.

Big thumbs up to Mark managed to get some from quavikey, not cheap but at least the cupboard will have shelves.

PistonHeads saves the day.
