Or if the pin isn't pushed in all the way. Or if the load is much higher than usual. For bookshelves I prefer the rail-based adjustable shelf support systems, or permanent shelves. | |

If you have pictures of the remains of the shelf, pins and cabinet side, I'd suggest posting your own question here (with the pics) asking how/why this may have failed. I've usually used metal shelf support pins, but there's not that much to plastic ones that can go wrong - perhaps you got some of inferior quality, had manufacturing defects or perhaps weren't installed correctly. Metal ones are a good idea, though. | |
