There is a series of blind holes in the sides. Simply choose the holes
for the height you require.

Not quite. There isn't a choice.


Yes. I was relying on memory too much - I should have looked at the actual shelf units
first!


Special screws are inserted into blind holes and tightened (two each
side). (The majority of the screw protrudes from the side.)

The metal screw in 'dowels' only go into specific holes for the top,
bottom and middle shelf. The rest of the blind holes are used for the
little metal pins for the adjustable shelves.


On my 2m units, midle shelf is ~1m up, with 4 broups of holes, eight in each group on
32mm spacing, for the other shelves and, as you say, held up with metal pins.


A cam device is inserted into each hole so that it engages behind the
screw head, then rotated, which causes the screw to be pulled into the
shelf as far as possible, thus making the shelf/side joint very tight.
The cams fit flush with the shelf and are coloured to match.


None of mine have been colour matched. Used to be metal, now grey
plastic. But not really noticeable, as the bottom ones are hidden, the
top ones are on top and the middle ones under the shelf, so probably
only visible to someone 3 ft

I'll take your word for it as I can't be bothered to go down on my knackered knees with a
torch!

Also the shelves have recesses on the underside for the metal pins so that the shelves
can't move forward and the pins are virtually hidden.
