Little did we realize when we sold our first
grommet nearly 30 years ago that we would
grow to become the world’s largest source for
wire access grommets and wire management
systems. Giant oak trees from little acorns,
and all that.
We gladly share the secret to this truly
accidental success story: All we did was
listen to you, and then did our best to create
new grommets and other components. We
simply responded to your needs. And being
small and very informal, we could respond
virtually instantly. It was that simple. No
rocket science necessary.
Over the years, when you said you wanted a
different size, we made it. When you said you
wanted a custom finish, we did it. When you
asked for variations, we incorporated them.
The results are remarkable!
Now, we offer 10 different sizes and 14
different finishes on round plastic grommets!
Plastic grommets led to folks asking for more
elegant grommets for more elegant desks and
tables and that led to some stunning metal
grommets, first our flush-with-desktop PS
Series and then Raised-Above-Desktop MM
Series. And that led to some fine wood
grommets and to some other interesting
shapes and styles such as grommets for trash
slots, for floors, and for electrical junction
boxes. And if you don’t see it and need it,
we’ll be glad to make one especially for you,
as we have for many clients.SG3-92See page 56

Flip-Top™ - Cord Slot Cover Designed by: Doug Mockett.
“Why don’t you guys offer a grommet
with a removable cord slot cover ?” If
we heard that once during the 1980’s
and early ‘90’s, we heard it a zillion
times.
Result: We spent three years develop-
ing various designs, and finally settled
on a winner. It does what it is sup-
posed to do: covers the cord slot, then
opens up to access your wires.
When you’re not using the cord slot,
pivot the tab up into the closed posi-
tion. When you are using it, just pivot
the tab down, out of sight and out of
the way. It pivots past 90º, so there’s
plenty of room for wires.
We call this innovative design the
“Flip-Top”™ tab, as that describes its
ease of operation. Patent numbers
D358,980; D354,903; 7,155,775;
7,124,468; 6,877,184; 6,694,566;
others pending.
We’ve converted all our grommet
molds except the two smallest ones
and the plated ones to the new
“Flip-Top”™ tab design.
On the following pages we offer the
industry’s widest selection of round
plastic sizes and finishes: 10 sizes and
14 colors and plated finishes to suit
virtually every need.

Round Plastic GrommetsDesigned by: Doug Mockett
10 Different Sizes, 14 Different Colors and FinishesWire access hassles? No problem! We now offer a complete line
of round plastic grommets to fit virtually every size plug and cord
in home, office or plant.
Same Finishes In Most SizesNeed to match finishes or colors in several different sizes for total
uniformity on the same job? No problem!
Removable CapThe removable cap completely covers grommet liner and tapers
nicely to meet exactly at outer edge of liner. Cap and top of liner
feature handsome, textured finish for elegant appearance and
fingerprint protection. In contrast, our plated caps are highly
polished and smooth for a perfect finish that’s hard to distinguish
from our far more expensive plated steel grommets.
8 of 10 Grommets Feature “Flip-Top”™ TabAll but our two smallest sizes feature our exclusive Flip-Top™ tab,
so you can close up the cap when not accessing wires, flip down
the tab when you need to put wires through. The neat looking,
simple tab pivots on hinge under the cap. Patent numbers
D358,980; D354,903; 7,155,775; 7,124,468; 6,877,184;
6,694,566; others pending.
Sold As Sets, Or SeparatelyCaps and liners are sold as sets, or you can buy them separately.
So, if you only need a liner, no problem! It’s available with no
upcharge. (One exception: due to the high cost of plating, our
plated grommets are only sold as sets.)
Custom Orders WelcomeNeed a special design or size? No problem! Just give us a call,
toll-free. We’ll make your grommets to your exact specifications.
Forstner Drill Bits Available For 10 of 10 SizesAcknowledged as the best drill bits for making clean holes
through wood and laminate, we now offer Forstner bits for all our
round plastic grommets. We have two different bits, an “okay”
one best for wood and a “fabulous” one for laminate; priced
accordingly.

Adjustable Depth Liner Designed by: Scott Hofmann -
Seattle, WA.
Grooves placed at standard work sur-
face depths, so all you do is cut off
liner to match depth, 3/8" to 1 3/4".
Available in five standard colors.
Available to fit EDP and SG Series
1 3/4" hole size. See page 59 for
specs.
Clipper Gripper Designed by: Steve Goldberg -
Philadelphia, PA.
What a great idea! This liner’s got a clip
on the inner wall. When you are trying
to push a cord up from under a desk
and at the same time trying to reach
over the top and hold the cord so it
won’t fall back through the hole and
onto the floor and you have to start
over again. Just clip the cord onto the
“Clipper Gripper”, casually reach in and
pull it through. EZ! Plus, the “Clipper
Gripper” keeps wires handy, just within
reach. Available in standard colors.
Not available in plated finishes.
Air Vent Cap Designed by: Hugh White -
Sarasota, FL.
When you need to vent hot air from
credenzas or computer cabinets, this
cap fits over EDP liner. Also available
in ZG Series size. See page 59 for
specifications and colors.
No Slot Cap To completely cover liner and use later,
use No Slot Cap. Available in 10
standard colors opposite (no plated
finishes) and in following Series: AG,
OG, BG, SG, EDP and XG.

LG3 - Laminate Cap Designed by: Phil Smith
Yorba Linda, CA. We’ve always had calls from people
wanting their own laminates showing
on a desk rather than our ugly
grommet. Fortunately, Mr. Smith
figured out how to do it, and do it right
with a simple three part system. It’s
easier to do than explain:
•First,gluelaminateontocap,then
put cap onto trim ring.
•Second,trimoffexcesslaminate
with router, using trim ring as
guide. When done, remove trim ring.
•Third,drill3"holeandglueinliner

flush with desktop.

A chic and architectonic design that not
only looks great but is also fully func-

wires, then down, but not fully closed.
It is always slightly raised above the
liner flange. Wires can be accessed a
full 270º.
Goes into a 2 ½" round hole.
Note: Cap is trapezoid-shaped,
3 5/32" x 3 11/32".

LO Series - Large Oval King Kong™ Designed by: Doug Mockett. In today’s mix-and-match, multi-machine
computer environment, where you need
to access a gargantuan variety of cord
and plug sizes – there’s only one grom-
met that’s big enough for the job. Our
“King Kong”™ grommet!
This likeable beast is 6 1/2" long by
3" wide fitting into an oval slot
6" x 2 1/2". Textured cap has an
“invisible” 3 1/2" x 1" cord access slot.
King Kong can also be used to line
several other types of “slots”, such as
inspection ports and windows, stereo
and video cabinets, to name a few.
Like our round and rectangular
grommets, King Kong now has our
exclusive “Flip-Top”TM tab (not available
in plated finishes). This tab pivots up
and down on a hinge under the cap.
Now, you can leave the tab closed
when not accessing wires and open it
up when you are. Custom colors with
minimum orders of 1,000. Allow 6 to
8 week lead time.

CRG Series - Rectangular Designed by: Doug Mockett.
We call it “Sherlock” because this universal
rectangular grommet can solve virtually any
wire access mystery you’ll ever be up
against. As computers and business
machines have become more complex, their
cables and plugs have become larger and
bulkier. “Sherlock Grommet” to the rescue!
The RG’s refined smooth cap features one long
“tab” along one side. Just like our round
grommet’s “Flip-Top”TM tab, this one also
swings down and out of the way when in use.
When not in use, it swings up to cover the
hole; the entire grommet and cap then looks
very civilized. Note: Plated finishes not avail-
able with Flip-TopTM cap.
The 3" long tab will accommodate
everything from ribbon cables to telephone
cords and everything in between; just lift off
the removable cap and almost any size plug
will fit through the rectangular opening.
Overall, RG is 4" x 2" and fits into a routed
slot 3 3/4" x 1 3/4". Liner and cap sold
separately (except plated finishes) should
you just need the liner. Custom colors with
minimum orders of 1,000. Allow 6 to 8
week lead time.

S/S Series - Stathis/Sherman Designed by: Peter Stathis & Suzette
Sherman - San Francisco, CA. A design contest winner from our
1987 competition, this grommet has it
all: Clean design, subtle elegance and
functionality with a capital “F”. The
beauty of the S/S is that when
countersunk into the desktop, it sits
flush, and the wires seem to disappear
into the work surface for a clean,
uncluttered look that’s in a class all its
own. Available in two sizes.
Colors: Black, Walnut Brown, Light
Grey, Putty, White.
Custom colors with minimum order of
1,000; allow 6 to 8 week lead time.

JB Series - Junction Box Grommet Designed by: Rick Poliquin
- Henderson, NV & L.P. Mascitti, Jr.
- East Hazel Crest, IL. Designed by Rick Poliquin and L.P.
Mascitti, Jr., separately and
independently! Neither knew the other,
and no one could believe it! Just goes
to show great ideas are everywhere.
The Junction Box Grommet is one
great idea. Perfect to finish off a
credenza or a wall covering stuck with
an ugly junction box. Rick and L.P. got
stuck with lemons and made a great
jug of lemonade!
Available in two sizes:
JB1 is the larger and fits a four-outlet
junction box.
JB2 is the smaller and is for a duplex,
or two-outlet, junction box.
Colors: Black, Walnut Brown,
Light Grey, Putty, White.
Any custom color available with
minimum order of 1,000; allow 6 to 8
week lead time.

INNV1 & INNV2 - Innovator Wow! Is this a great looking grommet
or what?
Though deceptively oval in shape it
goes into a 3 1/8" round hole and
features a flexible fin inside the
grommet liner. This fin bends out of
the way when cords are passed
through and flips up to block the slot
when not. Two versions: One slot and
two slot. Liner is charcoal, choice of
cap to match or contrast.
Sizes:
INNV1: 4 1/8" long by 3 1/2" wide,
liner is 7/8" deep.
INNV2: 5 1/8" long by 3 1/2" wide,
liner is 7/8" deep.
Colors: Base - Charcoal Grey only.
Cap - Charcoal Grey, Metallic Silver.
STR - Store All This handy grommet not only offers
convenient wire management, but it’s
on double duty as an office supply
storage area! Keep pens, highlighters,
business cards and paper clips within
easy reach with this ingenious “Store
All. Features one opening for wires and
four compartments for small items.
Fits into a 3 9/32" hole size.
Color: Black.

TM Series - Trash Management Liners Designed by: Doug Mockett. Our original concept was to make a big
grommet to line trash holes in medical
examining room counters. Were we in
for a surprise!!! Since we introduced
the TM, its applications have only been
limited by our customers’ imaginations:
Inspection ports in garage doors; food
waste hole liners in restaurant
kitchens; power cord grommets for
multiple cords coming from computers
to printers, terminals, and you name it!
Where will it end???
One thing’s for certain: TM sure can
make your life easier.
TM now comes in metal – Polished
Stainless Steel and Satin Stainless
Steel — as well as in plastic.
Plastic is acceptable for most uses.
The Polished Stainless Steel and Satin
Stainless Steel, while not only looking
great, also meet local codes that
specify metal for restaurant and public
rest room facilities.
Plastic TM only in 6" x 1" size.
Colors are: Black, Walnut Brown,
Light Grey, Putty, Hazmat Red and
White. In stock for immediate ship-
ping. Custom colors available with
minimum order of 1,000. Allow 4 to
6 week lead time.
Metal TM versions in 6", 8" 10"
and 12" diameter, and various
depths. Please see chart on oppo-
site page for diameters, depths and
finishes.

TM Lid Designed by: Peter Stathis
- San Francisco, CA. Our popular trash manager liners
needed a good lid and Peter Stathis
has come up with an exceptional
design. This piece of steel is bent in
the middle and sits atop the trash
manager. You tilt it down and open,
insert the trash, and its own weight
tilts it closed again. Simple. Effective.
Neat. Available in 6" diameter only.
Will fit both our plastic and stainless
trash managers.
Finishes: Matte Black, Polished

MM Series - Solid Brass Grommets Our first solid brass grommet cap and
liner, the MM3 and MM3A, proved so
popular we added two larger sizes to
accommodate your needs. This series is
ideal for fine executive desks and
credenzas, conference tables and
computer stations.
Each grommet cap is made of solid
brass and is simply beautiful.
Each liner is hand-machined from
solid brass tubing.
Why brass? Unlike cheaper and
shoddier metals, brass polishes and
plates much better than steel, resulting
in a far superior finish that will make
your clients’ desks look fabulous. It is a
labor-intensive operation that requires
several steps of polishing with different
compounds followed by plating and a
final polishing. Result: A perfect finish!
The MM grommet cap sits just 1/8"
above the desktop for a trimmer,
thinner appearance.
Finishes: Polished Chrome, Satin
Chrome, Satin Nickel, Black Chrome,
Polished Brass, English Antique,
Matte Black or Unfinished, ready for
your own finish.
We can do any custom plated or
painted finish you wish, allow 6 to 8
week lead time.

Orlansky – Waterbury, CT. “Hover” is what it is called and for good
reason. Orlansky’s grommet has a
unique feature: the edges of the cap are
very wide, stepped, and substantially
overlap the diameter of the hole. Since
one cannot see the edge of the hole
under this brim, there is no need for a
liner. Stepped to fit two sizes of holes:
2" or 2 1/2" diameter.
Finishes: Satin Nickel, Satin Chrome,

FG - Series We’re pleased to bring you three sizes
of a grommet designed and made just
for floor access. They are made of
Lexan, a durable polycarbonate which is
a flame-retardant plastic that can with-
stand the office herd trampling back
and forth. Note the edge is radiused so
shoes won’t trip over it.
The double-thick grommet cover sits on
a step inside the liner for extra strength.
One portion of the cover rotates over
the other to open and close so you can
access, say, one wire, and close up the
cap to hold the wire snugly, as well as
to make sure heels do not slip into the
gap. Or, if you are accessing, say, five
wires, you can open the cover very
wide, yet still snug it up.
Three stock sizes: 2 31/32", 5" and
8 3/16" hole sizes. Other sizes are
available on special order, going into
holes: 1 7/8", 4", 4 3/4" and 6 5/8".
2-week lead time.
Finishes: Black and Medium Grey.
Custom colors available with
minimum order; allow 6 to 8 week
lead time.

Wire Management
Within a year of selling our first grommets back in 1981 I got the call: “What do I do with the wires after they go through the
grommet in the desk? They just make a mess pooling on the floor underneath”.
So we started designing extruded plastic wire managers.
We pride ourselves in leading the bandwagon to bring you the latest and greatest in wire management! This category seems to
be moving from solid channels extruded from rigid PVC, that we pioneered 25 years ago, to interlinked components that can be
bent around corners as well as adjusted to any length.
These new versions create a chain of wire management that flows and goes where you want it to go, as opposed to our
standard stiff extrusions that just go one way - straight!
We’re calling them “spines” ‘cause they look like someone’s backbone! What better name to also denote how flexible they are,
how they can adjust to the shape you need.
Some “spines” are designed to work better vertically and some better horizontally, so we offer several variants.
Wire & Cable Management
WM7 - VELCRO® Guide Designed by: Peter Stathis
- San Francisco, CA. Ideal for applications where you just
need a few little wire guides along
the way. Simply stick ‘em up with
pre-installed double-sided tape, rip
open the elegant tab, lay your wires
inside and close tab back up. A great
little time saving idea for taking up
the slack.
Size: 3 1/2" x 1 3/4". Custom sizes
available.

WM22 - Series Designed by: Scott Hofmann
– Seattle, WA. Pragmatic and simple, Hofmann’s
design is for a wire manager to be
fastened under a desk/work surface to
keep cables up and out of the way.
Further adding to its pragmatism is
that it’s designed to work in a
horizontal plane rather than a vertical
one. Essentially, he took our WM2 and
extended a flange top and bottom for
fastening! A visible groove on the
flange top and bottom shows you
where the screws should be placed for
fastening. Good going – good new
design coming from another good
design! Two sizes: WM22 and larger
size WM22A.
Color: Black.

WM11 & WM11A - Flexible VELCRO® Tube Wire Manager Designed by: Peter Stathis
- San Francisco, CA. Until now, it was hard to get plastic
wire manager channels to go around
corners – They just do not bend. Peter
Stathis found this neat VeltexTM
laminated loop fabric and sewed a strip
of that VELCRO® stuff along one edge
so it sticks to the VeltexTM fabric. You
can put a lot of wires inside and close
it up, tightly or loosely, as you choose.
You can access wires anywhere you
wish along the length. And since it
comes with separate little mounting
squares of double-sided tape on one
side and VELCRO® stuff on the other,
you have a lot of flexibility in mounting
it where you want.
Two sizes in width, the smaller 4 3/4"
wide, the larger 6" wide. We sell it by
the foot, up to a maximum length of
50 ft. Two little VELCRO® mounting
squares come per foot.
WM11 is made of 100% nylon fabric
with a thick polyester foam core that
gives it good body and heft. It meets
or exceeds the following: FMVSS302,
passed; Flame Spread - 29; California
Test 117 - passed.
Color: Black.

Wire & Cable Management
EXG1 - Desktop Wire Manager Designed by: Errol A. Ahearn
- Hanover, MA. The beauty of this design is that it
brashly stands out. It is raised above
the desk, and does not attempt to dis-
appear into the desk design as so
many of our grommet designs do.
One continuous length can be used
along the back of a desk, or two can
be used at corners for balance and
effect. A great solution for many wire
management problems! Features an
invisible hinge. Sold by the foot.
Color: Black.
Double-Sided Foam Tape Available two ways:
DBROLL - 216 ft. roll.
DBLSD - Cut to length and installed
on Wire Manager before shipping.

TSB6 & SBXB6 - Support Bracket Designed by: Timothy Ryan
- Poughkeepsie, NY. Walls are crooked. Your work surface is
straight. Putting the work surface up
against the wall creates a problem: The
installer must scribe the work surface
to the wall, trim and fit, trim and fit,
until it’s right. Tim Ryan’s 1995 Design
Contest Winner does two things: First,
it supports the work surface away from
the wall so no need to scribe. Second,
he designed in a wire management
trough so wires can pass behind the
desk and plug in underneath.
And we offer another feature as an
option: A piece of extrusion holding a
brush running the length of the bracket
so the unit appears more integrated to
the work surface, and the trough is
concealed.
Sold in 6 foot lengths.
Finishes: Black, Satin Aluminum.
Optional extrusion/brush: extrusion
Black or Light Grey, brush Black
only.
End view shows profile of Support Bracket, how it screws to wall on right and to desk from underneath. Wires push through optional brush and extrusion, then through holes to plug.

On Golden Retrievers
Over the past 30 or so years we have
had four Golden Retrievers – Alex, Buffy,
Mooch and Charlie. Each was a personali-
ty unto himself. Each was different, often
dramatically so, more than one would
think.
Golden Retrievers always have a sunny disposition, always
friendly with a wagging tail. They cannot please you enough.
Non-judgmental. They are great with kids. If a burglar
showed up a Golden would give him keys to the safe.
We got Alex shortly after Sonia and I
married in 1979. He was King
of the Roost until June
1981 when the twins
arrived and dethroned
him. But he took it in
good stead – kind of --
after a period of transition.
We enjoyed our long walks
together every day. But,
somehow in 1987 he got a
foxtail in his ear and it worked its way into his brain
and he passed away from the infection, far too
young. All four of us were devastated.
It took us two years to recover from Alex’s loss,
but we healed and got Buffy – yes, the kids
named him after his light color – and he was the gentlest,
sweetest, nicest guy, friend to all, always with a smile and a
happy tail, always glad to see you. He was with us all the
years the kids grew up. Buffy lived to 14 and became infirm
and we had to put him down. We all cried taking him to
Tom, Buffy’s long-time vet. Tom cried. A sad day.
Another year passed and we healed and got Mooch.
Another sweetheart. 18 months later we were in Mexico and
got the call that Mooch was missing; it turns out he had
been stolen from the yard. We know this because he
had an identity microchip and a tag
saying so. Every vet is to check
for a chip. Six months later, no
Mooch, so we gave up and
we rescued Charlie, 24 hours
from being put down.
Charlie
was, sim-
ply, The Best. He
knew he had a new lease (new
leash?) on life and lived it to the fullest. Street smart, an
opportunist – no food on the kitchen counter was safe – but
you could not get mad at him, and as friendly and pleasant
as could be. He greeted everyone with the same smile and
dangerously wagging tail. A lovely guy.
Out of nowhere almost three years after Mooch was stolen,
we again were in Mexico, and again got a phone call about
Mooch. Only this was the one we’d been waiting for –
Mooch had been found wandering late at night 50 miles
from where we live in LA, was picked up (no collar) and
taken the next day to a vet who scanned him and then
phoned us with the good news.
Mooch was back, and after a little territorial disagreement,
he and Charlie became best friends and always played and
clowned around together. Truly Best Friends Forever.
We had Charlie for four years until
March 2008 when he was
unfortunately run
over and killed
on a busy high-
way. Devastating …
the worst. Like
losing a member
of the family.
Mooch knows he
has lost his best friend.
He’s been depressed. When we go
at night for a run over at the golf course he looks around as
if to say, “Where’s Charlie?”
I suspect we will recover from Charlie’s sad demise, and
soon there will be a fifth Golden … Mooch needs a new
friend. Life changes, people change, and we all need new
direction in life. A new buddy for Mooch will help us all.
