Question
I am having cabinets hung and had the center panel of each cut out.  I ordered glass to be put in but cannot find the plastic clips that are needed to secure the glass.  No hardware store in my area has them.  Where can I buy them?  I live in Skokie Illinois.

Answer
Chay,

Those clips are called glass retainer clips. There are a few different styles, depending on your needs. Check out these links:

There might even be a Rockler store in your area, you should search their site.

Also, Woodcraft carries those clips:  http://www.woodcraft.com/Family/2001078/Glass-Retainer-Clips.aspx

Good luck, hope this helps.
