How to use peg locks on peg board - install and remove locking plastic pieces

We’re organizing the soap workshop and purchased some pegboard and metal pegs / hooks for hanging tools. The package came with black plastic peg locks that immobilize the pegs. I’d never seen them before, but here’s how to install and remove them when you get pegboard to organize your garage!

Holy crap girl! The agro you just fixed in my craft space is staggering! Can’t thank you enough.🎉

[@fixthishouse3303]

You’re welcome :)

[@benthietje1669]

Omg came to UA-cam for this very thing. Thanks!

[@lesserz6310]

Had no idea what these were for. Like what another guy commented as, maybe clips for a hanging wire by your workbench, at least what I was thinking also. Originally I was looking on UA-cam for what each hook is technically for. Since I bought a multi pack to organize my shop bench. Thanks for showing us what these do.

[@melccc5830]

That was very helpful. Thank you for your video. I had the peg locks and did not know what they were or what they were used for…. googled it and got your video.

[@fixthishouse3303]

Awesome, thanks!

[@angiela7777]

Thank you SO much! I hadn't seen these before and was seriously so confused!

[@Prettyjunk1]

Omg my mind is blown..always wondered what they were for

[@georgewashington238]

Thanks, I was boggled about what those were for and how they worked. 👍

[@fixthishouse3303]

Glad I could help

[@beverlymiller4879]

Thanks so Much! Never saw these before because men don't use them, lol. I'm organizing my craft room.

[@fixthishouse3303]

Glad it was helpful! I had never seen them either.

[@derekmoen5382]

[@Rosepineres]

Oh! It was so helpful! Thank you

[@lizsmith9029]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

[@barbaraguerrero6530]

Thank you!! Very helpful.

[@fixthishouse3303]

So glad!

[@deborahrowe6312]

Thank you. I could not figure these locks out and if it weren't for your video I would be pulling my hair out.

[@fixthishouse3303]

Glad I could help!

[@johnvaladezjr4851]

Thank you!!!

Just saw a guy's video where he used bent paperclips. Not as clean looking, but easier to put in and out and only blocks the hole underneath for the simpler pegboard hooks.

[@fixthishouse3303]

Very Interesting! That’s a good tip, especially because the plastic ones can break.

[@amyhaines464]

Thank you I had to search and had no clue

[@JonJonJonJonJon]

Works well for the single hooks but what do you do about the double one like you have in the video? Its on the bottom there to the left of the buckets and right of the examples you used?

[@fixthishouse3303]

I think the doubles are more stable because they are double.

[@eliseroudebush7536]

Hi! I have the same package and came online to see how to work the pegboard “clips”. Did you figure that one out? Thanks!

[@fixthishouse3303]

I’m not sure what the “clips” are. Do they clip paper, broom handles or something else?

[@richardsousa2625]

Wow I can’t believe I couldn’t figure this out (or what the heck these little doo hickeys were for) THANKS

[@1ycj]

It would have been nice if u showed how u used it in the double prong hook.

[@fixthishouse3303]

I wonder if you *can* use it or if you even need it for the double prong hook.

[@warehouseworkwithkim]

who new i could find out what those things were for on youtube

[@fonzario]

My experience with these peg locks is that out of the package, they didn’t have enough of an inward angle for the barb to catch on the back of the peg board and kept popping back out so what I did is take a butane lighter and put a little heat by the corner and with my pointer finger put an inward pressure to bend the barb ends in and they work like a charm. Just be careful not to burn your pointer finger in the process.

[@fixthishouse3303]

Thanks for the tip!

[@fonzario]

@@fixthishouse3303. I figured I’d put that out there because you know how some people complain about a product because it doesn’t work but then they never make an effort to make a minor modification and improve it.

[@SeattlePioneer]

I use a staple gun to hold pegs in place.
Simple and cheap.
Want to move the peg? Just pull out the staple.

[@fixthishouse3303]

Clever. Thanks!

[@johnhopkins6565]

Cool, I thought they were electrical wire ties.

[@bluepandaman]

The ones that came with my pegboard are garbage unfortunately.

[@fixthishouse3303]

Mine came with a set of the metal peg pieces.

[@donreid3832]

Using up holes for nothing

[@fixthishouse3303]

Using them for *slightly* better stability.

[@fixthishouse3303]

But you have a good point.
