Plastic feet

Dear collective wisdom: I have just run out of the self-adhesive plastic feet that I like to use for builds. To clarify, the small stick-on square or cylindrical doodads that go under the box (so to speak) to prevent scratching, and so on, not what I wear when soldering. You know, the little feet…nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

I’d value any recommendations for sources you use for these, if possible with quick delivery to this part of the world (South Africa). Thanks, y’all.

Funny. We bought a large multipack of these (all different shapes) once we bought our house for a few cabinets. Turns out I’m the one reaping the benefit of these since I don’t use Velcro. If you don’t like em they peel right off with no damage to your finish.

I think that my excuse for buying them from the "house budget" is starting to wear thin.....("But honey, we need them for all out kitchen cabinets that need to be replaced..."). I'm on my 3rd pack of these from Amazon.

I used to booby-trap the cabinet doors by taping a "popper" to the inside corner and wait for one of the kids to sling it shut.

as bumpers so the cabinet doors don't slam wood on wood when closing, our kitchen drawers have them too. They all off after a while.....the dog eats them....I see them get pooped out......

So then your cabinets and drawer faces don't sit flush when they're closed, or am I missing something? I'm always fascinated by how other people do things

Not completely flush but if you adjust the hinges correctly the whole door stands slightly proud of the flat surface. (This was from my cabinet building days in a boat factory). But honestly, I've never checked my kitchen cabinets. It's such a small bit of bump that even if it's not flush it's not noticeable. I HAVE to remember Fig's idea of taping poppers to the cabinet doors. I may wind up divorced but the look on my wife's face might be worth it........:)

For every 4, okay maybe 8, you use on pedals, you must put another one on a cupboard door — even if that means you eventually have 40 around the edge of a single cupboard door... Most drawers, one every inch would be about 16 bumpers...


Now if you're talking political cabinets... that's not within my purview.















I like these plastic feet...
