    Default Cabinet connectors

    Wondering if anybody has 4 of these surplus to requirements, or knows where a retail qty. can be obtained. I only found one supplier but minimum buy is 100 units, plus $22 postage, so not ideal.

    I am struggling to come up with an alternative. The situation is a 10mm thick panel has to be attached to a composite wall (at 90 degrees) but the only area of the wall that is substantial enough to fascilitate screw fastening is literally only behind the panel, none at the side. (only one side available to do anything)

    These cabinet connectors are sunk into the panel a bit back from the edge, and a screw is then passed through the small hole (from the underside in the pic) and into the wall, pulling the connector (and panel) hard against the wall.

    THESE are available from Aliexpress but they seem a bit pricey; $24 shipped for twelve.

    Also shipping from China is rather slow at the moment; 4-6 weeks is not unusual.

    Thanks for the reply. I they are too thick unfortunately, being for 12-20mm panels. My panels are 10mm and use a thinner version, 6mm thick. There are two thicknesses at least that I know of.

    I spent no less than 20 minutes on Banggood, Aliexpress and Alibaba this morning so I have to ask, what search term did you use to come up with that result?

    Caravan cabinet connector was all I entered; it gave me 6 pages of hits but it didn’t take long to flick through them.

    The word "caravan" must have done it for you. I tried heaps of variations, but not with "caravan" in them.
    Cheers.
