My interior door panels and such are missing the pin and clips needed to hold the panels in place. Do any of you know where to find these? Or, do you have any suggestions for a replacement for them ?
Thanks in advance for your patients...

Get those 'D' nails and sockets from Lang's.



The metal ring nails are pretty fair repo of the head size of the original, but the plastic socket is a far cry from the metal.



The plastic socket pounds in place a bit harder than the original steel. And the flange is too thick as it lets the panel board stand off. Sand down for the thickness, and the plastic ones work ok.

IMO..search out and find good used metal original sockets, hardware ring nails with flat heads aren't to hard to find to fit the metal ones, clip to length.
