5mm hole adaptor

[Johnny Canuck]

I have built upper cabinets and am using a blum aventos lift system for the doors. I drilled 5mm holes as usual but the aventos uses 2.5mm. Does anyone know where I can get a 5mm hole insert that will take 2.5mm screws?

Can you not glue in a 5mm dowel and then drill it to 2.5mm?

Hafele do some nylon inserts that may be of help. Hafele inserts

If you can't find the inserts for 5mm, Blum has them for 8mm for the 2.5mm screws.  You could also fill the hole with epoxy and redrill.  Depends on if it is visible or not.

Found some 5mm Hafele here in town. Problem solved, thank you much. Guess I will read the instructions next time!
