with things I just push in is not very great. They have a tendency to fall
out.

The ones I looked at at Lowes are just round plugs, with nothing to hold
them in except friction. Do they make any that have something to hold
them?

Not familiar with the ones at Lowes, but the ones I used as a kid had a
slotted edge, with fingers that spread back out once you pushed it
through the hole. Kinda like a giant version of the plug you use on an
extra hole in a kitchen sink, except with screen in the middle, of
course. I suspect the Lowes ones operate on a similar principle. You do
have to use the correct size bit and make sure to hold it square and not
let it wander around- the hole needs to be 'crisp'. They can't make them
too complicated, or the price would be so high people wouldn't buy them.
Back in the old days, they came in a 100-count box, any color you
wanted, as long as it was mill finish.
