Jetland Desk Grommet for Wire Organizer - Flat Black, Fits 2" Hole, GBK53, 2-Pack

I’ve been buying grommets for years, for various DIY projects at home. I chose these metal units for use in visible places. I had a little trouble getting the inner cover off. Usually easy, but this one has tabs that slip under other tabs to hold it in place. Turn it upside down and you’ll see it requires twisting to separate them. Then it pops out easily. Each arrived wrapped in plastic in a small cardstock box, , both in a plastic zip bag. There was no damage, and they feel quite substantial in my hand. What remains to be seen as how accurately they will fit the 2-inch hole size specified. Too small and you can always enlarge. But larger than the width of the grommet’s top will be a problem. If your hole is only slightly oversized, you can improvise a spacer and still use the grommet. Possibly cardboard strips, or you can wrap electrical tape around the part that sits in the hole until it’s snug. I recommend you buy or borrow a 2-inch hole saw. If you think you’ll be doing a lot of home improvement projects in the future, consider a set. Hole saws come in a range of prices and there’s no need to spend big money for occasional use. Of course, you could try to make do without the hole saw, but this would be a mistake. It will be difficult to get a clean hole without it. I suggest you start drilling from the bottom side, until the bit is just high enough to break through the top. Then put the arbor bit into the same hole and continue drilling from the top. (You may first have to drill a small pilot hole from the top to mark the correct spot.) Make sure the saw is exactly perpendicular! This method will help you avoid ugly tear outs on your visible surface, which will leave you with pesky repairs, the worst possible outcome when drilling for a grommet. You may need to limit dust build up in the cut by backing out the saw as you go to blow out the dust. Caution: the saw will be hot! To mount on a drill, a hole saw needs an arbor assembly. Avoid hole saws that come as split circles meant to be slipped into a channel on the arbor assembly and tightened. I once used this type with bad results. That’s why it’s cheap. Get solid circles! I do recommend these grommets. They are of solid quality, nice looking, and offer multiple colors. A good value. Perfect for highly visible locations like desks and tables. And just one more tip: the 4 sets of 3 bumps on the bottom ring are meant to snug up the ring. You may need to persuade it into the hole to accommodate. This doesn’t mean your hole is too small. I haven’t used the product linked below, but it illustrates what I’m talking about for DIY newbies. It includes the arbor (though some reviewers say it doesn’t.) https://www.amazon.com/LENOX-Tools-Bi-Metal-Arbored-Technology/dp/B004YK8DMY/ref=sr_1_18?dchild=1&keywords=hole+saw+arbor&qid=1626577143&sr=8-18

I made a podium for my live auctions to accommodate my sound system and microphone so the wires would run up through the panels and they work great and look great. Just right for the application.

Seem well made and look good. Easy to install.

Easy to install, snug fit. Easy to thread cables. Very pleased with appearance

Used this to hide some computer and speaker cables. Easy to install except it’s a very tight fit. Use a rubber mallet to install or add a 1/32” to the hole size to make it a little easier. Quality definitely stood out to others I have bought as they have a very nice finish to match our Champaign bronze finishes and are metal. I will buy again for the next project.

I drilled a 2 inch hole through the countertop of a built-in bookshelf/entertainment center in our house and wanted to use something a little nicer than the standard plastic grommet to cover the hole. This was one of the best options I could find. However, as other reviews have mentioned...this grommet is 'slightly' larger than 2 inches. It mostly fits the hole I made, but not quite. Also, I was initially frustrated as I couldn't get even a single AC plug to fit through the grommet hole...until I realized that the little rubber piece slides out the side and is very stretchy. So if you're having trouble getting cables through, just remove that piece, put your cables through, then slide it back in. Worked great.

I am a wheelchair user in traditional desks don't work well for me. I bought a nice small conference table on Amazon and install holes to run cabling for my computer. These worked great and look clean and professional. Now my desk has everything I need on top, and the computer and surge protectors underneath. The grommet itself is large, which is necessary to put power plugs down through the hole. After the ends are through, you can snap the grommet cover in place. The cover has a gap with a rubber insert. If you're putting two or three thin wires, the rubber insert works well and keeps them from moving. I have lots of wires so I removed the rubber insert and I have eight cables running through it without a problem. Very versatile. Pro tip: If you use two grommets You can run wires down and back up. I use them for my speakers which have to be connected together but then the speaker wire is mostly under the desk rather than on top. With speakers, modem, two monitors and my Amazon echo, I still have no wires on the desktop.

I’ve been searching for a grommet to fit a hole in my granite for an appliance cord. This works perfectly. It’s satin nickel, solid metal so very well-made. However the hole is one and a half inches at the granite level and then the mounting board is one and a quarter inches at the bottom. It’s much looser at the top, and the grommet doesn’t extend low enough to get tight at the bottom. The depth of the grommet is barely a half an inch if that, so it is loose, but better than all of the others I’ve tried to buy that are supposedly an inch and a half.

Son justo como los descibe la publicación, termine comprando el color plateado mate aunque inicialmente quería los dorados pero el tiempo de entrega de ese color era demasiado (aprox. 1 mes y medio). Los materiales son estupendos, se siente súper resistente y venian bien protegidos en una cajita indivual. El único detalle que les encuentro es que para ponerlos entraron muy a presión, tuve que desgastar con una escofina un poco más la madera despues de haber hecho el orificio con la broca sierra de 2" ya que no entraba, aun así entro a presión y ya no se puede sacar. Estoy conforme con la compra y definitiva,emte le dan un look más premium a mi escritorio, en el orificio cupo mi cable HDMI, cable de alimentación para mi monitor y el cable de mi teclado.

This grommet is of high quality metal and is a perfect 2" size to replace or add to your desk. Delivery was considerably quick considering it was coming from o/s.

Great grommets. Tight fit after drilling the hole, may need to file. Otherwise these are perfect.

Bonne qualité se que je recherchais.

muy bonitos y sobre todo que buena opcion para no poner el tipico negro
