Doesn't anyone make cable clips that can be screwed down?

I need to route cabling under a cabinet made of particle board. The
stick-on clips hold only a few days, then let go :-(

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Stuff a screw through the base of the clip ! Most of the ones I've used
have a hole there already.

There's screw-down cable ties that work very well -- one of my clients
uses them in a system that has to fly on helicopters, and that goes
beyond a high vibration environment*. Find a big enough supplier of
cable ties (i.e. Fry's) and you'll find some screw-down ones.

* There's a popular misconception that helicopters fly by aerodynamic
forces on the rotor blades, leading to their moniker as 'rotary wing
vehicle'. This is not correct. Helicopters fly by vibrating so hard
that portions of their airframes reach relativistic velocities, thereby
creating an anti-gravity effect that causes them to be repelled from the
surface of the earth. The blades are there to generate this vibration,
and to help control the resulting motion. Anyone who has to make
mechanical systems that hold together on a helicopter knows this to be
true...

Sno-o-o-ort!

Some years ago I designed a high-voltage logic and control system for
MicroRel for a helicopter gunnery application... can't remember the
helicopter type name now, but it was McDonnell Douglas... 30V logic
for good noise immunity ;-)

I've got a bunch of nice nylon ones with different inside diameters, so
if you only need some for a one-off I can probably help you out, for
free.

What's the diameter of the cabling and how many do you need?

Hmmm - I once caught a lift from an air base in Korea to some army post
(going up to skydive), and it was quite smooth. Colder than a witch's tit
however; the pilot had taken the doors off. =:-O

Nailing will not do?
If OK, RS may still carry them.

Hi Jim,
I finally resorted to a staple gun! Put down sticky clip, staple it
to surface, attach tiewraps...

I had to make electronics which lived in the engine compartment of a
modest construction tractor. The vibration there can easily exceed 10g.
Throughole components fail almost instantly: pins are breaking due to
metal fatigue. Yet you don't have aviation-like budgets to make it work.
But the worst case that I've seen was a piece of elecronics which worked
inside the drill head that grinds through rocks...

Good idea! I have a power stapler that sees very occasional use for
reupholstering... you know how it is, every few years the color scheme
in the master bedroom has to change ;-)
