You want the ones with the long wood screw threads, TRF PN 552668. Might be
Moss P/N 226-408, but it is not clear to me from their
catalog whether those are the ones with the long threads for wood, or the
shorter threads for sheet metal. I've had trouble with
the shorter threads pulling out of the original holes (although it's easy
enough to mend with some wood glue and a wooden match
stick).
> Are there sizes also?
No one seems to sell different sizes (as long as you don't get them mixed up
with Tenax studs which are smaller and do come in
sizes). But I have examples of at least two, maybe three different stud
patterns and it's not clear why. The short ones are more
flat on the top and harder to fit the snap over, so perhaps the taller ones are
just a later "improved" pattern. (I got the taller
ones when I ordered the part number above.) Either one will work on your
doors, though.
