Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this grommet fit my desk?
  If your desk or table has a pre-drilled hole measuring 2.5 inches (63.50 mm) in diameter with a tolerance of ±0.1 inch, this grommet will fit securely using friction alone. It’s suitable for most standard grommet holes in furniture.
• Is the maple wood pre-sanded and ready for finish?
  These grommets are unfinished and not pre-sanded. To achieve a smooth, paint- or stain-ready surface, light to moderate sanding is recommended before finishing and installation.
• Can this grommet be painted or stained?
  Yes! The solid maple surface accepts both paint and stain, enabling you to match or accent your existing project finish. Test on a small area first for best results.
• What cables will fit through the slot?
  The elongated semi-oval slot measures 7/8 inch (22.23 mm) wide and 1 inch (25.40 mm) deep from the outer edge, easily accommodating typical power cords, USB cables, and audio lines.
• Are bulk orders available for classrooms or corporate projects?
  Absolutely. Contact us for pricing and lead time on bulk or wholesale quantities—ideal for educational kits, business workstations, or manufacturing needs.
• Does the grommet include a cover or cap?
  This listing is for the main slotted grommet only. Compatible cable caps/inserts can be used for expanded cable management or to cover unused slots.
• How should I prepare the wood for finishing?
  Use fine grit sandpaper to smooth minor splinters or surface irregularities. Wipe clean before applying finish or paint. Always wear safety protection when sanding.
• Can I use this for DIY finger pull handles on furniture?
  Yes, when properly sanded, the elongated slot makes an effective finger pull for custom cabinet doors, drawers, or toy boxes.
• Do you offer custom slot sizes or shapes?
  Currently, this product is only available with a fixed elongated semi-oval slot as described. For custom requests, contact our support team.
• Is this suitable for heavy equipment cables?
  This grommet supports everyday cable management for office, classroom, or home use. For large or exceptionally heavy industrial cables, verify your cable fits the slot dimensions before purchase.
• Will this fit IKEA tables or a 3-inch hole?
  This grommet fits a 2.5-inch hole. For 3-inch holes, the outer diameter matches but fit is loose—double-check your desk’s hole diameter for optimal performance.
