What is this bookshelf support called?

I just moved into a new house. The original owner built some very lovely bookcases, but there aren't enough shelves for my needs. Yes, I know, I have too many books. My wife agrees with you.

Nonetheless, I need to add some shelves. What is this type of support called? Anyone know a site that sells them? Local hardware store only had pin style supports.

Thanks!

The track is called a shelf standard. The thing in your hand is a shelf support or shelf support clip or support clip.

kitchen cabinet door ajar

Hi. In my new apartment, I have one kitchen cabinet door that will not stay closed. It opens about one inch after I try to close it. I'll add a link to show the type of hinge. I tried tightening all the screws on the top and bottom hinges and nothing changed. I also tried switching the hinges but that did not help. It looks like the renter before me tried the same things since the screw heads are quite roughed up. Any suggestions? Thanks. [url]https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bzm5ZatzU9DjWXdnclRvR3AzMm8[/url]

This is my first time posting. I just bought a house and the studs are all turned sideways on the interior walls. I am guessing since they're like this they are not load bearing. I am wondering what needs to be done to turn them back to the normal way. The house interior is all wood paneling so the walls don't flex as much and we want to add drywall and put in new doors but are running into a lot of problems with this. I have laminate floors so do I have to take off the last row of flooring to lay the sill plate? Also, what will the sill and top plate be tied into?
