FAQ
Are screws included?
Yes. Mounting screws are included. Wall anchors/dowels are not included.
How much weight can each bracket hold?
Load capacity depends on wall material, anchors, shelf thickness, and number of brackets. When installed into wood studs, a pair typically supports everyday shelving loads (books, dishes, pantry items). For drywall-only installs, use heavy-duty anchors and consider adding a third bracket for longer shelves.
Which anchors should I use?
-
wood studs: wood screws into stud (strongest)
-
drywall (no stud): heavy-duty toggle or self-drilling anchors
-
masonry/brick: masonry screws or sleeve anchors
How do I orient the bracket?
Install the long arm under the shelf and the short arm on the wall. Use a level and pre-drill pilot holes.
Will they rust?
Made from premium zinc alloy with iron-look finish. Suitable for indoor use. In humid areas, ensure ventilation and wipe dry if splashed.
