FAQs

What is included in a set?

Each set includes two steel shelf support brackets and two clip-on covers to conceal the fixings.

Are screws and wall anchors included?

No, screws and wall anchors are not included. You will need to provide these separately, choosing types appropriate for your wall material and the load capacity required.

How many brackets do I need per shelf?

Typically, two brackets are used per shelf, but this can vary depending on the shelf's length, depth, and the weight it will support. For longer or heavier shelves, additional brackets may be necessary.

What is the maximum weight capacity of these brackets?

The maximum weight capacity depends on the size of the bracket, the shelf material, and crucially, the type of wall anchors and screws used, and the wall's structural integrity. Always use appropriate fixings and consult with a professional if unsure about load-bearing capabilities.

Can I paint these brackets?

While the brackets come with a finished black coating, painting may affect the appearance and durability of the finish. If you choose to paint, use a metal-friendly primer and paint, and test on an inconspicuous area first.

How do the clip-on covers attach?

The clip-on covers are designed to slide or snap securely over the installed brackets, hiding the screws and mounting hardware for a clean look.

Troubleshooting

Shelf is wobbly after installation.

Ensure brackets are securely fastened to the wall with appropriate anchors and screws. Verify the shelf is seated correctly on the brackets and that the brackets are level with each other.

Clip-on covers do not fit properly.

Check that the brackets are installed flat against the wall and that no screws are protruding excessively. Ensure you are using the correct covers for the bracket model.

Brackets do not seem sturdy enough.

Confirm that you have used the correct type and number of wall anchors and screws suitable for the wall material and the weight of the intended load. Refer to load-bearing guidelines if provided by the shelf manufacturer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired shelf placement and mark the bracket locations on the wall, ensuring they are level.
  2. Use appropriate wall anchors (e.g., drywall anchors, toggle bolts) suitable for your wall type and the expected load.
  3. Secure the brackets to the wall using suitable screws (not included).
  4. Place the shelf onto the mounted brackets.
  5. Slide the clip-on covers over the brackets to conceal the fixings.

Compatibility:

These brackets are designed for use with standard shelving materials such as wood, MDF, or laminate. Ensure the shelf material is suitable for the bracket size and mounting method. Wall compatibility depends on using the correct wall anchors and fasteners for your specific wall construction (e.g., drywall, plaster, masonry).

Care:

Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish. Ensure the brackets remain dry to prevent corrosion.
