Pegboard Peg Locks 50PCS (1/8 inch, White)

These little wonders are game changers. I have a metal pegboard, so, it has zero grip on uncoated metal hooks... they just want to bounce around and pull out with just the slightest bit of jostle. These Pegitz solve that problem effortlessly.I was concerned that they'd be difficult to remove if I wanted to reconfigure, but they come out super easy. It's a stiff rubbery material but it's soft enough to pinch and pull out to remove it - it won't come out on its own, but it's easy to remove.The grip on the hooks is fantastic, you do have to give it some oomph to insert the hook fully, but once it's in there, it doesn't want to move at all. I honestly went with a metal pegboard because I figured I'd be using magnetic hooks for most stuff because regular hooks won't stay put, but these are so easy to use and work awesome. I didn't want to use the other style hard plastic pegboard clips because they tie up the adjacent holes and they're kind of fiddly.

Overall I really like this product, they make the usually floppy and prone to falling out pegboard attachments actually stay in place which is very convenient. Ive bought 3 packs so far and one thing that the product really doesnt mention which i thought was notable is 50 pcs might seem like alot, but when you have one standard attachment that has two pegs that go into the board, that means that there are only realistically 25 attachments worth of locks. It also is not the easiest thing in the world to install them. You have to press them fairly strongly with a screwdriver into place. Once they are in though they are very nice and do the job well. I think overall i would give these locks a 7/10 baised on how hard they are to install and that i wish the quantity was a little higher for the price.

Update: I did not notice that there are two versions of this product, one for 1/4" hooks and one for 1/8" hooks. What I started with were the inserts for the 1/4" hooks. I just tried the 1/8" hook inserts and they lock my hooks very well. So I have abandoned the solution below and am simply using two of the 1/8" hook inserts now. I do notice that the 1/8" version doesn't lock in the holes quite as well, but they still seem like the best solution.First, I am using these with hardboard pegboard with 1/4" holes. If that's not you, then this may not be relevant. I have struggled with the straps that go across the hooks and several variations of these locking inserts, until now unable to find something that worked for me.First, these are easy to insert AND remove, zero issues there. These lock into the hole very well. But the issue is that they don't grip the hooks tightly, the hole for the hook is too large in diameter. So I still had movement when I lifted items off/out of the hooks.I found a solution to this by combining this product with "Meneone Pegboard Hook Locks, for Stopping Hooks from Falling Off, 120PCS, Black" (ASIN B0C3ZXZ48F). I was just about to return those and this product and then had an idea. The Meneone inserts grab the hooks very tightly, but they don't stay in the holes. In fact if you remove the hook, the Meneone insert comes out along with it. So I used one of each insert on my hooks, in both the case where the hooks use two vertical holes or use two horizontal holes. Now I had the best of both worlds, this insert prevented the hooks/inserts from coming out of the holes while the Meneone insert prevented the hook from sliding in and out of the inserts. Crazy as it sounds, my hooks and now nice and solid and I don't feel like any are going to jump out when I remove an item.If you happen to have hooks with only a single leg that inserts into the pegboard, I don't believe you will be happy with this or the Meneone product - go buy different hooks.These solution does cause the hooks to stick out a VERY small amount off the pegboard. I did not find that to be any issue at all nor did I find it causing my hooks to point upwards as others have mentioned with these insert solutions.

Will keep these in stock

The media could not be loaded. Great product. Since the industry has quit making ACTUAL 1/4" pegboard hooks this product is a must. It installs with just your fingers and turns the loose hooks in to less loose hooks that don't easily fall out.I will be buying more.

These locks insert easily but plan on plenty of breakage when inserting metal hooks. Not sure how durable they are but suspect they will begin to break down in the near future. They do keep the hook from falling out but they still fail to lock securely.

I purchased a set of plier hangers for my 1/4" pegboard and because of their design and the fact that they are 1/8" thick, they would not stay put whenever I removed a tool. None of the varieties of peg locks I had on hand would work, so I considered buying plastic cabinet hole plugs and drilling a hole in the middle to try to solve the problem and then, miraculously, I found these terrific little problem solvers. They fit into the 1/4" holes snugly and then hold the hangers tightly and securely. They work just as well on metal pegboard as they do on hardboard and it's great that they come in two colors. Read the description carefully and choose the right peg lock for your needs and I think you'll find them as useful as I did.

Make sure you get the right size for the thickness of your hooks. Tight fit and hold the hooks in place. I was so tired of grabbing a tool off the peg board and then having to chase the hook bouncing across the floor. I was going to replace the entire peg board until I found these, sure glad I found them
