    Default Spring loaded pin ID

    Does anyone know what the attached pins are called and where they can be purchased? The pin can be pushed down to be flush with collar and is spring loaded.

    What does it do? Is it a pivot/locating pin?

    Not sure what the proper name is but just googling 'spring loaded furniture pins' seems to get some results...

    Sorry, I should have given a few more details. The plywood is 18mm thick. This is a tray for a high chair. The pins are pushed down and the arms slipped through dadoes, the pins pop up behind the chair back and the tray is then secured.

    Thanks for the links woodman, one step closer. The Hafele ones are a little long but the shutter pins might do the job.

    I have seen some sun blinds with something similar so perhaps a blind maker might be able to help.
