Peg board hardware issues

Hi all, new guy here.
My first question, after lurking for awhile, how do you keep peg board hardware from falling out when removing tools?
Thanks,
Jerry

Most hardware kits come with plastic retainers made just for that issue. They clip in the two adjacent holes. Off to google to find you a pic.

or if you have the layout you want and dont plan on changing it often, and little clear silicone works wonders.

Some of the hooks are one-size-fits-all and are made for 1/8" OR 1/4". I think they tend to be iffy when used with 1/4" pegboard. The hooks made specifically for 1/4" pegboard stay put better.

Or a dab of hot melt glue.

Or a small wood screw.

McMaster Carr has really cool hook sets that use a stubby screw to hold them in place.

Bingo. Get the 1/4" pegs.

Thanks Guys, I just got a bunch of hardware free. I will check to see if it is 1/4 or 1/8.

But these definately look like the best system that I've seen yet. Made in USA too.
Seen them used on a woodworking show I watched last weekend. They are sweet. They do not come off when you take your tool off. From what I seen they didn't move at all.

I have the talon hooks and I like em.

I purchased them from Lee Valley, fast shipping too.

I have these and they work great, they are easy to put on and they keep the hooks in place but they are still easy to move or rearrange unlike glue or something more permanent.
