View Full Version : Clips to hold muntins...

Hi, I have been looking everywhere for these little plastic clips to hold the wooden muntins I have in my windows. I can't find them anywhere. Part of it goes into a drilled hole in the window frame and the other part is to hold the divider in place. They probably cost about ten cents each, but I can't seem to find them and don't know what they are called. Can anyone help?

Hi Flo,
It could be tough to locate as they might be manufacturer specific. If you could find a name on the window, you might have better luck. HD has a whole section in the Hardware Department of different things in pull out trays so you might try their. The truth is the plastic seems to break easily and I have seen many a homeowner convert to Velcro as velcro will hold them in place and allow easy removal for cleaning.

Thanks. I have tried several hardware stores including HD to no avail. Someone at HD told me to find out the manufacturer of the window, but we bought our house from a previous owner and I can't find the brand etched on the window where it is supposed to be. I really don't want to change over to Velcro right now, although I may have to. Thanks!
