Kitchen cabinet pegs loose!

[sail abroad]

We have a beneteau 40 2009, in the kitchen cupboard there are pegs in one cupboard to organize dishes and plates etc.

Strangely the pegs are very loose, don't fit the holes well so don't really stay put to keep the dishes in place.

Can other owners say if their pegs are also very loose? 

Are they meant to be glued/sikaflexed in place?

What other solutions have been tried to get them to stay put?

Thanks!

We have them but don't use them as things don't fit well within the cabinet with them in place. If you want to keep them in place you'll need to find something to take up the space between the peg and hole. Try breaking off a small piece of a flat toothpick and inserting it with the peg. The toothpick will act as a shim and keep the peg from wobbling. An alternate and likely better process would be to apply an adhesive that remains pliable to the end of the pegs prior to inserting them. Silicone sealant or something of that nature should do the job and also allow you to remove the peg without leaving a major mess. Get creative with the shims or adhesive; just don't use something that will create a permanent bond.

Good luck
