Ok. Really Dumb question

[Tennessee Dave]

I am assuming that those tabs that the metal shelves sit on in a wine cooler have to come out before I put my shelving unit from John in there. Is this a valid assumption? If so, what's the best way to get them out without causing any damage? Hey, I am old and can afford to be a bit dumb, huh?

Can you show a close-up, Dave?

I wish I could be of help but I have no clue. I purchased mine ready to go. I am sure someone will know what to do. Oh, and I'm old too and come from the school of the only dumb question is the one not asked.

Yes.. Them Tabs must go. I just used a snub nosed plyers. Grab one and push up, then down, then up..... Repeat until the come off. Easy peasy.

Seems like @knw247 knows better than me, Dave...I'm looking at that pic for a few minutes now and just scratching my head!

I have not done this yet in my second wino so I snapped a few pics of the process.about 5 seconds per tab.

It's done. I called John the cabinet maker and he had me score them just a bit with a small wire saw. They came off smoothly and quickly. Thanks for all the help guys.

Where did he have you score them?

 

[Tennessee Dave]

Right across the top of the tab and underneath the tab. Came off flush and clean as a whistle.
