In its simplest terms a Space-Plug isn’t even a thing, it’s a name. At the minute it’s the name for our “Adjustable Spacer Fixing”
WHY NOT JUST CUT A PIECE OF WOOD OR PIPE?
Space-Plug's are Adjustable Spacer Fixings. Between them our 3 fixings cover gaps from 15mm-80mm. You “can” use a piece of wood, or a piece of pipe but Space-Plug's are designed to speed up installation so you don't have to waste your time measuring and cutting up bits of off cuts to fill the gap. If you need the job to be “Bob On” you’ve got inherent adjustment to meet the exact adjustment and they give a professional looking finish whilst waiting for those templaters! In other words they’re faster, adjustable, designed for the job and professional… we think that’s worth around a fiver a kitchen!
WHY ARE THEY BETTER THAN ANGLE BRACKETS?
Are you able to move an angle bracket around the back of the cabinet to locate a stud to secure to? With Space-Plug you can! Are you able to drill once and screw once with an angle bracket? With Space-Plug you can! This is a patented low cost fixing, invented by a kitchen fitter FOR kitchen fitters to speed up kitchen installation by removing the hassle of fiddly angle brackets. They are one of those products, once you have used them, you never go back!
WHICH MANUFACTURERS CURRENTLY SUPPLY SPACE-PLUG'S WITH THEIR CABINETS?
Currently Wren, Magnet and Commodore include our fixings in the box. We are working hard to ensure that more manufacturers swap out their fiddly 'L' brackets for our fixings. If you like the idea but don’t want the expense tell your manufacturer to adopt them!!! … then tell us who you told and we’ll follow up for you!
HOW MANY SPACE-PLUG'S SHOULD I USE PER CABINET?
That is entirely up to you and the specification of the kitchen you are installing. Some installers like to use 1 per cabinet, others only use a couple on a run of units to create a strong fixing, some like to double up. So, in short, whatever you feel makes a secure fixing to the wall! Remember walls are not always straight, our fixings adjust and can be used anywhere on the back of the cabinet giving you the flexibility to find a secure anchor - try doing that with a fiddly angle bracket!
ARE YOU REALLY MADE IN THE UK?
Yes, we’re genuinely made by a splendid British manufacturer in sunny Sussex. UK production give us total supply chain management and provides a wonderful just in time process that saves us and our customers a lot of money!
WHY DON'T YOU USE RECYCLED PLASTIC TO MAKE YOUR PRODUCTS?
Moulding threaded parts is not the easiest. Recycled materials have a certain amount of the “unknown” in their properties making them slightly tougher to use. Things are improving all the time though; we want to be as kind as we can to the planet and constantly reviewing this possibility.
IS SPACE PLUG ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY?
Naturally people are concerned with plastic products these days. Have no fear with Space- Plug. Not only are we fully recyclable but even better! Fully re-usable! No need to waste any energy recycling!
CAN I USE THESE WITH CONCRETE SCREWS?
Unfortunately not due to the bore size.
WHAT IS THE SIZE OF THE HOLE THROUGH THE MIDDLE?
The central bore hole is 6.5mm diameter.
WHAT SIZE GAPS DO THEY COVER?
The Space-Plug “Mini” size will fit 15mm to 35mm gaps. The Space-Plug “Regular” size will fit 30mm to 50mm gaps. The Space-Plug “XL” size will fit 45mm to 80mm gaps.
ARE THERE PLANS FOR ANY OTHER PRODUCTS?
Yes! We recently launched Space-Plug Evolution, which is a new way to manufacture kitchen base cabinetry and in 2024 we won the Innovation Award at KBB Birmingham. Many kitchen manufacturers are adopting Evolution, so look out for it the next time you purchase a kitchen! We’ve got ideas for several other products in the very near future! Our product range is definitely growing!
Space Saver!
"Plugs the gap between furniture and wall no problem.
Its like an adjustable foot which you run a long screw through the middle and
then tighten up to secure the fixture to the wall."
Essential
Absolutely brilliant. I fitted my kitchen recently and had these recommended to me for fixing the units to the wall. Made a difficult job a lot easier
Handy support behind toilet cistern
Used to add support behind cistern on close-coupled toilet. Very easy to fit and gives the support needed.
Great items to keep in a tool bag!
I bought these as we had a radiator installed and it kept moving on the brackets and made a ticking noise. Put one of these centrally behind the radiator and voila! Problem solved!

Before finding these little fixings, we had to shim cabinets or cuts lengths of plastic tube to length or use adjustable angle brackets. These are far simpler and speed up install times 3x.
