Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Determine Location: Choose a suitable wall location, ensuring it can support the intended load. For maximum capacity, mounting into wall studs is highly recommended.
- Mark Positions: Hold one bracket against the wall at the desired height and mark the screw holes. Ensure the bracket is level.
- Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. If mounting into drywall without studs, insert the provided expansion plugs.
- Attach First Bracket: Secure the first bracket to the wall using the provided stainless steel screws.
- Install Second Bracket: Measure the desired distance for your shelf and attach the second bracket, ensuring it is perfectly parallel to the first bracket and level.
- Attach Shelf: Place your shelf board onto the unfolded brackets and secure it if desired (screws not typically needed for the shelf itself unless specified by shelf material).
Compatibility:
These brackets are compatible with most standard wall materials, including drywall (with appropriate anchors or stud mounting), plaster, and solid wood. They are designed to hold flat surfaces such as wood, laminate, or composite boards, serving as shelf supports or workbench bases. Ensure the material you choose for your shelf is also suitable for the intended load.
Care:
- Clean the brackets with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the stainless steel finish.
- Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight and secure.
- Regularly inspect the brackets for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the folding mechanism operates smoothly.
