source for flip-stops needed

I'm not sure what these things are called, but I've seen them on a lot of
manufactured furniture. They are those plastic things with a screw through
an eye on one end around which they swivel to act as a stop. I haven't had
any luck with google searching, Rockler, Lee Valley, etc. If anyone knows
where I can get these, it would be most helpful.

Thanks!

Mike

I think you're talking about a "glass stop" or "panel retainer".
Rockler, LV, Woodcraft have them. Your local ACE Hardware probably does
too.

HTH,

Lee Valley has them in their Hardware catalog-not their WW catalog.

nope, I meant something like this:

http://www.rockler.com/ecom7/search_results.cfm?filter=turn+button&submit.x=18&submit.y=7

I didn't get the terminology correct. I was looking for "turn buttons" not
"flip stops".

Thanks for the suggestions.

Mike
