Attaching old metal plate onto 32-081 kenlin socket

Question

Hi,

Just received the order I placed with you a few days ago. I ordered 32-081, as the drawers already have the metal plate behind the socket and I didn't think I'd need to order those since I already have them. I'm able to pop the old (cracked) plastic socket out, but am having trouble getting the 32-081's to pop onto the metal backing. Is there a trick to this? There is a piece that sticks up in the middle of the metal backing that SHOULD pop into a hole on the 32-081 but I don't want to force it and it's not popping on there easily. Thanks

Mary

Good Morning Mary,

The metal guard featured on the heavy duty Kenlin socket 32-082 is attached to the plastic socket at the factory. I do not think you will be able to reattach them yourself at home. I tried playing around with a couple here and it does not seem like the metal guard can easily be removed from the plastic socket and then reattached to another socket.

You can use the plastic drawer socket without the metal guard.
