Frequently Asked Questions

  Yes, the tenon is engineered for a tight, secure fit in both 1/4" (6.35mm) and 5mm (commonly 4.8mm to 5mm) holes, making it widely compatible for pegboard systems used worldwide.
• Is the wood pre-sanded and ready for painting or staining?
  Every peg is sanded smooth. For a perfectly uniform painted or stained finish, a quick light sanding may be helpful due to natural wood grain variations.

  Installed to the recommended 3/8" hole depth in a solid material, each peg supports approximately 8–10lbs—sufficient for ties, lightweight tools, or classroom items.
• Can I install these without special tools?
