Refrigerator Locating Pins

Mark Your Fridge Mounting Holes Before You Drill

Refrigerator locating pins transfer the mounting-hole pattern from the bottom of your portable fridge directly onto your slide. Thread the four pins into the fridge, position it where you want it, and use the pointed tips to mark your drilling locations.

Hidden mounting holes make measuring from the outside of a fridge a guessing game. These pins let you lay out the holes with the fridge in its actual mounting position, so you can check alignment before committing to the drill.

Choose M5 or M6

This is a partial fitment list. Check the threaded mounting points on your specific refrigerator before selecting a size. Some fridges use the threaded holes for the rubber feet; others have separate mounting bungs.

How to Use the Locating Pins

1. Install all four pins. Thread them into the mounting bungs on the bottom of the fridge.
2. Set every pin to the same depth. Measure carefully so all four tips project equally. We use a micrometer for this step.
3. Position the fridge. With a helper, hold it just above the slide, align it where you want it, then lower it straight down onto the pins. Recheck the position before making marks.
4. Mark the slide. Maintain downward pressure and give the top of the fridge a firm bump with your fist directly above each pin to create a small dimple beneath it.
5. Lift straight up. Avoid sliding the fridge sideways as you remove it, so the marks stay easy to identify.
6. Drill and bolt down. Remove the pins. Drill at the dimples, allowing a little clearance for alignment. A 1/4-inch drill bit is our recommended starting point for these mounting holes. Use the proper mounting bolts to secure the fridge to the slide.
