I need to add more shelves to a built-in bookcase. The shelves are supported by clips that fit pilaster strips, similar to Rubbermaid Stripes & Clips or the Knapp & Voight clips (shown here:

my pilaster strips have double rows of round holes and my clips have dual tabs to fit them, not the central tab of the systems I find in stores now.
Is there any way to get more clips that fit my current strips?
If in the US, I think you should not use pilaster when you search. I've never heard the word. Even "support" probably won't help.
Shelf clips sounds right.
In person, ACE Hardware is the best chain in the US.
Elliot's Hardware in Dallas is afaik the best independant store in the US, and you can email them a picture, and they will send someone out to the floor to see if they have it, and they'll probably look in their catalogs for you too. I used to go to Dallas and they had 7 or
8 kinds of pins alone. (I didn't look for clips.) I bought for one bookcase when I was there, and later wanted to make another. They shipped me 20 shelf pegs for 39 cents postage and handling, just the cost of a first class stamp, no charge for the little manilla envelope. This was 15 years ago and I don't promise their shipping is so cheap now, but I'm sure it's not high.

OTOH, they are in Texas and some products are used only in one part of the country.

12 million hits. I"m sure they won't still be shelf clips after a little while.
