I get mine from LMI. They're a bit pricey but I like them and they're easy to install.

Yep your local hardware store is full of them as well as the better choice in my opinion of blind dowel nuts some times called cross barrel nuts. Simpler to install and stronger.

McFeelys sells steel inserts with deep threads that are much better than the brass ones!

They will never loosen -unless you install them wrong!
