Hello! I'm trying to find replacement brackets for my kitchen cabinets and have hit a dead end. My cabinets are circa 1988 and the dowels that go into the holes are slightly larger than the replacement ones I find. The original dowels are also shorter than replacements so new pegs do not fit fully into the hole and sit flush. I have tried them anyway and have had shelves fail leading to many broken dishes. I've tried drilling to holes deeper, but this is a risky endeavor with laminate sides and even then, the hole diameter is slightly too large for the standard size replacement brackets. I'm considering drilling and just gluing replacement brackets into place, but I'd love to find replacement brackets that fit since so many of the original brackets are failing now.
Do you have any that might work or any other ideas for me? Thank you!

Hi Emily,
Unfortunately the clear ones are the currently available options on Amazon and Lowe's/Home Depot. The one with the shorter peg are what fit in my cabinets.
