Large-Adjustment Slotted Shims

Use these thick shims to align cabinets, doors, and windows, or for other rough leveling. They're color-coded by thickness for easy identification. The slot makes it easy to insert, remove, and adjust the shims. Shims are made of plastic to resist moisture and prevent rot.

For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.

Breakaway Shim Plates

These thick shims are scored to make size adjustments easy—break off the excess shim for a custom fit around fasteners or corners. Unlike wood shims, these plastic shims resist moisture and won’t rot. Use them to align cabinets, doors, and windows, or for other rough leveling.

Slip-Resistant Shim Plates

The textured surface of these thick shims keeps them from sliding apart when stacked. Use them to align cabinets, doors, and windows, or for other rough leveling. They're color-coded by thickness for easy identification. Unlike wood shims, these plastic shims resist moisture and won’t rot.

Shims for Keyway Broaches

When broaching in multiple passes, shims are necessary to ensure full keyway depth. Slide them between the broach and bushing to set the depth of the keyway.

Note: Broaches have a style designation of A, B, B1, C, C1, D, D1, or E. For proper fit, broaches, bushings, and shims used together must have the same letter designation.
