    You can't measure it? Just take a cloth tape measure and measure the circumference of the part of the plug that fits in the hole. Easy!

    Is the 1/2” width measured across the button or across the part that is to be inserted into a hole?

      My local HD has these button plugs in both Oak (labeled as Oak and obviously oak from the darker wood and prominent visible grain) and a non Oak (labeled as Hard Wood but more like Pine in appearance with no visible grain).

            Yes, the inside diameter is 1/2", but how tall (proud) do they stand? And what is the overall diameter (widest width)? Thanks

                Do you carry button head Oak plugs in 1/2"

                Answer This Question

                I just bought a package of 50 button head Oak plugs at my local HD store. The package is actually labeled as Oak and looks very much like Oak (darker with grain). They also had similar button head plugs in packages labeled as Hard Wood that looked more like Pine.

                  Hi Fred, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately we do not offer the oak button heads on Homedepot.com. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future. Thank you for shopping Home Depot!

                  can these be cut flush with a flush saw? These were installed on a railing and I'm not sure I like the look.

                  Answer This Question

                  There is a similar product from HD that will fit flat and flush inside of a half inch hole so you wouldn't need to cut off these half round decorative plugs...

                    As long as you glue them first, I don’t see why you couldn’t

                    By|Feb 18, 2019

                      We believe you can. However, that is not what these plugs were designed for.

                                  My wife and I picked up a gently used child's oak rocking chair for our granddaughter. It was missing several of the oak buttons that cover the screws. A coat of clear varnish and these made the chair look like new again. It was a big hit under the tree at Christmas.

                                    These are not 1/2 inch.
                                    These are not 1/2". They measure about 7/16", so fall out of 1/2" holes. Not a tight, secured fit as described. If you don't want to glue these in (so that the screws they are hiding are accessible for re-tightening), then you'll need another brand. Returning these, even though they were less than $4.
