Q: What are Space Balls used for?

They keep a frame-and-panel door's panel centered and rattle-free . Placed in the panel grooves, they let the wood expand and contract while preventing cracking and rattle. See our door-making tools .

Q: What size are the Space Balls?

Each synthetic rubber ball measures .260" (about 1/4") and fits precisely inside the panel groove of the rails and stiles.

Q: How many Space Balls do I need per door?

We recommend six to eight Space Balls per door , distributed around the panel grooves to center the panel evenly.

Q: How do Space Balls prevent panels from cracking?

If the panel expands, the Space Balls compress to take up the slack between the panel and the frame, which prevents the panel from forcing the joints apart and cracking.

Q: Can I use Space Balls with plywood panels?

Yes. They are recommended for plywood door panels too , where they compress and center the panel in the door frame just as they do with solid wood.

Q: What are Space Balls made of?

They are made of synthetic rubber , which lets them compress and rebound as the wood moves through seasonal humidity changes.

Q: What pack sizes are available?

Space Balls are available in packs of 250 or 1000 , so you can buy enough for a single project or stock up for production cabinet work.

Q: Do they work on both raised and flat panel doors?

Yes. They suit raised and flat panel doors alike, fitting any standard panel groove in the rails and stiles. Browse more woodshop basics .

Q: Where do the Space Balls go during assembly?

Drop them into the panel grooves of the rails and stiles before assembling the door, so the panel floats centered on the balls within the frame. Pair them with hardware for the build.

¡Elimine el ruido y el movimiento de las puertas de los gabinetes!

¡No construya otra puerta de panel elevado o plano sin estos protectores de proyecto! La contracción y el movimiento del panel son un problema recurrente en la fabricación de puertas de madera auténtica. Nuestras bolas espaciadoras de 6 mm de diámetro centran automáticamente el panel en el marco para evitar grietas y ruidos molestos. Si el panel se expande, las bolas espaciadoras se comprimen, evitando grietas en la unión encolada al absorber la holgura entre el panel y el marco de la puerta.

Se recomiendan de seis a ocho bolas espaciadoras por puerta. Cada bola de caucho sintético mide 0,66 cm y encajará perfectamente en la ranura. También se recomienda para paneles de puertas de madera contrachapada, ya que la bola espaciadora comprime y centra el panel en el marco de la puerta.

Características:

Las bolas de caucho sintético de 0,260" (≈1/4") encajan perfectamente en las ranuras de los paneles de los rieles y montantes.
Las bolas se expanden y contraen a medida que la madera se mueve, manteniendo los paneles perfectamente centrados.
Evita que las juntas pegadas se agrieten y evita que los paneles vibren.
Disponible en paquetes de 250 o 1000.
