These rubber balls fit perfectly in the 1/4" groove of my raised panel doors without rolling around during assembly. Just be sure to dry fit the entire door to make sure they are not too tight. My panels do not rattle when closing the doors. I made 10 doors the first time I used these and had no problem.

They work perfectly for my kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors. I'm glad I used them. They make the doors feel solid and make my entire project look professional.

The principle behind these is a sound one. Based on that, and on actually using them, I can't see why anyone would assemble any raised panel door without them. I usually size my raised panels so that I compress the balls a small amount. Too much compression makes gluing the rails and stile a wee bit tough. But no matter how you do it, these things make the whole process a heckuva lot easier.

I am using these for the first time. I am building a computer desk with raised panel construction. They keep the panel centered and I know the panels will remain that way as they move over time. I am also making raised panel doors which will not rattle.

I used space balls on many raised panel projects in the last few years. They keep the panels from rattling and stop the rails and stiles from being pushed apart.

I found these too large to be useful. The space balls pushed out on the rails to the point that it was too difficult to assemble. If offered in different sizes then you could use the one to fit the gap inside the groove of the rail between the rail and the panel. I may just put a dab of silicon caulking in the groove to do the job.

Eliminates panel rattle and keeps panels centered up nice in frames. Have to make sure panels are not too tight where you compress those little space balls too much. Always use these things evry time I make doors and panels, they work great. Only thing that was off-putting was the little sticker on the bag mentioning that these little balls contain a small amount of lead. Most likely not a significant amount of lead to cause illness .

Something so simple, yet so practical. The packaging didn't have a lot of info on spacing requirements, but I found more info at .spaceballs.com Apparently other smaller sizes are available directly if you don't mind buying them by the thousand.

I used these space balls on a number of panels and they seem to work great at keeping the panel centered. The first time I used them I didn't allow enough room for the balls, they don't compress that far and that easily. So, you just have to be aware that the balls are pretty firm rubber and will not compress that much.
