Currently having a new kitchen fitted, and the fitter has just found
that the suppliers (Homebase) have only included four plinth clips,
which are essentially a thin sprung-metal affair that is fixed to the
top of the plinth and holds it in place by friction.

We need (a lot) more clips, especially as some base units will need
the plinth to be fixed to the exposed side as well as the front.

Is there a more substantial design of clip that is readily available
from the sheds? A Google hasn't come up with anything obvious, but
perhaps I'm searching on the wrong terms.

TIA.

Have a look at the Woodfit website .If you don't get plinth clips
there I'll be very surprised .The one I have used you fit one piece to
the inner side of the plinth and the other part clips to it and to the
legs of the units .

If all else fails consider making your own using tool clips:

B&Q plinth clips are like Jubilee clips, screw to the back of the plinth
and then clip over the round unit legs. They sell them separately in
larger sheds.

The posher ones have a sliding mount for the clip so you don't have to
get them spot on in alignment with the legs.

Many thanks to all who replied.

In the end I found that about ten miles from here is a *huge* B&Q;
it's about the size of a couple of aircraft hangars. They had the
two-part clips in stock, and I got plenty for the job in hand at only
£1 for four....sorted, thanks!
