Frequently Asked Questions

Do the concealed brackets come left and right-handed?
No, they all mount to the right side of the stud.
How should the concealed brackets be mounted to a metal stud?
Wood blocking needs to be installed inside the metal stud for attachment.
What is the difference between the 1.0" and 2.0" versions?
The 1.0" is lighter duty for shelves, while the 2.0" is heavy duty for countertops and benches. For comparison, the 1.0" brackets support loads from 350 lbs up to 1,400 lbs per pair. The 2.0" brackets feature a much higher load limit range, supporting 1,000 lbs to 7,960 lbs per pair.
Is the mounting hardware included?
Yes, the hardware to mount to the stud is included with the brackets. The 1.0" models include 1/4"-16 x 3" carriage bolt assemblies, while the heavier-duty 2.0" models include larger 3/8"-16 x 3" carriage bolt assemblies.
What is the difference between the standard (C) and extended (EC) brackets?
Both the 1.0" and 2.0" brackets are available with an upper extension (EC) or without an upper extension (C). The upper extension, which sits above the support arm, provides superior strength and significantly increases the load limit.
How many brackets come in a single order?
All sizes of both the 1.0" and 2.0" brackets are conveniently packaged 2 pieces per box.
