FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of these brackets?
These brackets measure 280mm in length and 180mm in height, with a thickness of 4mm.
Are screws included with the purchase?
No, you will need to purchase screws and wall plugs separately that are compatible with your specific wall construction.
Can these be used outdoors?
While the powder-coated finish provides some protection, these are intended for interior furniture applications and may rust if exposed to direct outdoor elements.
How much weight can these brackets hold?
The weight capacity depends primarily on the strength of your wall, the type of hardware used, and the thickness of the shelving board; always anchor securely into studs when possible.
Are they sold individually?
No, they are sold as a pair to ensure you have a matched set for your shelving unit.
Troubleshooting
Bracket feels wobbly after installation
Ensure that the wall plugs used are the correct size for the drill bit and the screw diameter; consider using a longer screw if the wall is uneven.
Shelf sagging in the middle
Check if the span between the two brackets is too wide for your shelf material; add a third bracket if the shelf length exceeds the recommended limit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic drilling tools and level-checking. Because the product does not come with hardware, you must purchase screws and wall plugs specifically rated for your wall material (e.g., masonry, wood stud, or drywall with toggles). To maintain the finish, simply wipe the brackets down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they may damage the powder-coated surface. Periodically check the screw tension to ensure that the brackets remain flush against the wall over time.
