Doesn't the shelf force the Spiral Support ® to spin back to base position?
Absolutely not! The Spiral Support ® is designed to maintain exactly as fine tuned. The patented shape, as well as the patented perimeter jag makes sure Spiral Support ® will never spin backwards; in fact the 5 mm or 1/4 inch pin will brake before spinning back.
How do I know which Spiral Supports ® I will need to fine tune each Time?
You can choose which ever Spiral Support ® you wish. Every 3 supports always define a surface so all you need to do is chose any of the supports and fine Tune it, normally it would be most convenient to choose whichever support that has a small gap from the shelf.

Why do I need 4 Spiral Supports ®, can't I use 3 regular shelf supports and Just 1 Spiral Support®?
You can, however you will not be able to enjoy the full potential of the Spiral supports ®. For instance: Your will only enjoy a smaller tolerance for inaccuracy of miss positioning the shelf supports. If you are not using 4 (or more) Spiral supports ®, You will not be able to level your shelf perfectly, you will not be able to fine tune the height of the shelf, or to fine tune exact designated spaces, not to mention the Esthetic mater of having two different kind of shelf supports under each Shelf.
My shelves never tremble, what do I need Spiral Supports ® for?
Even If you assemble your shelf accurately enough for them not to tremble, when placing the cabinet on less than perfectly straight floor, or as amortization occurs with time, shelves do not fit perfectly and do not feel solid due to Small scaled inaccuracies. Also, if you use a security-gap when making a designated space, you can fine tune the designated space by deducting the security-gap.
Will I need to fine tune every shelf?
No. you work with Spiral Supports ® just as you would work with any other shelf support. After shelving is done, only whichever shelf does not Fit perfectly, or is not perfectly positioned, is fine tuned for perfect shelving.
Are Spiral Supports ® suitable for glass shelves?
Absolutely! Normally shelf supports made for use with wood shelves are not suitable for use with glass shelves. This is because the miss positioning of the shelf supports is somewhat blurred by the tolerance of the wooden shelf itself, however, glass, being far less flexible then wood cannot tolerate the same scope of inaccuracy. However when using Spiral Supports, not only are you getting a perfect fit, you also get a perfect anti-slip mechanism when using the glass shelving method. Not to mention that transparent Spiral Supports ® is the only way to support your glass shelves with FULLY transparent shelf supports.
