Where do these bits go?

Just got my Credenza back from the guy who restored the cabinet for me. He did a great job and will try to get a video up in the next week or so.
Anyhow, when he brought the cabinet back he gave me a couple of washers or nuts that he said fell out while he was working on it. See picture. They are about half inch long at the widest point and the holes in them look like they may be threaded.
Anybody know where they go?

well, they could be spares that were put in the cabinet, if not i surppose the only place they could go would be the hinges on the doors

They go over small holes in the bottom of the cabinet for the shipping bolts to screw into.

These either are from the shipping bolts like the person below said or they may go to the back panel door, they look a little like the clip looking things that are on the 3 or 4 screws along the bottom of the back board or access door. Check to see if yours are there.
Cant wait to see the Credenza.

Eureka! That's it! They are the retainers for the back panel attachment screws.

Only reason I knew that was I found one in one of my credenzas on the bottom of the machine and noticed one was missing on the screws
Now to look at your credenza Clay

They do go on the screws to hold the back on; I don't know what I was thinking about when I said they are shipping nuts since they are different from these.....

Clay,
Your refinish job looks excellent! I have one of my own that I would like to have done. Even though I'm in Michigan, I might consider sending mine to your guy. Can you give me the name & number of the place that refinished yours? Also, if you're comfortable saying so, approx. what it cost? (If not, I totally understand)
Thanks!
