    Shims

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shims. Round, Sold Individually.
    With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, these shims precisely align, space, and level components on shafts, arbors, and machinery.
    You can stack multiple shims to achieve your exact thickness, but stacking more than four may cause them to shift. Remember, fewer shims are better, so a couple of thicker shims are more stable than a bunch of thin shims.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these shims won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
    Brass—With a warm, polished look, these shims are often chosen for their appearance. Similar to 18-8 stainless steel, brass is corrosion resistant enough to stand up to wet environments.
    Copper—Good conductors of heat, these shims are often used when installing heat sinks. As our softest metal shims, they prevent damage to equipment and components but may not retain their shape as well as other metal shims.

    Say goodbye to annoying sticking, binding, or rubbing doors. Slide these shims behind your door’s hinge leaf to align it in the jamb, restoring smooth opening and closing. All are made of plastic to resist moisture and prevent rot. They have a universal hole pattern, so all you need to measure is your hinge height, and they can be cut with a knife for a perfect fit.
