Abstract
A molded plastic spacer for securing a drawer slide to a cabinet panel. The plastic spacer may have one or more lugs extending orthogonally from a cabinet panel contact face and configured to interface with corresponding recesses in the cabinet panel. The one or more lugs may further include a tapered central bore capable of receiving a pin. Driving the pin through the bore causes the lug to expand such that a ribbed exterior surface of the lug engages with the cabinet panel and secures the plastic spacer in place. Each of the one or more lugs having space above the respective pin for robotically driving the pin.
