How to install your Shelf Bracket
We recommend using a qualified tradesman for installation.
Contents
Tools Required
- Appropriate safety equipment i.e. safety glasses
- Spirit level
- Drill
- Screwdriver
- Tape measure
- Pencil
Step One – Safety
Use a wire/pipe power detector to ensure that there are no electrical cables
or water pipes where you intend to position the shelf.
Step Two – Vertical positioning of your shelves
Use a tape measure and spirit-level to mark the vertical position for your
Shelf Bracket with a pencil. Your mark should be for the top of the Shelf
Bracket and bottom of the Shelf Bracket.
Step Three – Draw a level line
Use the spirit level and a pencil to draw a perfectly horizontal line along
the area of the wall where you intend to mount the shelf. If your spirit level
has a measure on it, draw the line to the full length of the shelf. If not,
use a tape measure and redraw the line a couple of times, until it is the same
length of the shelf.
Step Four – Mark positions for the Shelf Brackets
Decide where to position the Shelf Brackets and mark these positions on your
horizontal line. Focusing on one bracket at a time, place the top of the Shelf
Bracket up to horizontal line and centre on your positioning mark. Keeping the
Shelf Bracket perfectly still, use a pencil to mark the screw holes on the
wall. Repeat this for each of the Shelf Brackets.
Step Five – Drill into the wall
Drill into the walls at the centre point of all your screwhole markings. Drill
the holes deep enough in to the wall to fully accommodate the wall plugs.
Step Six – Insert wall plugs
Insert the wall plugs into the drilled holes. Ensure that the wall plugs are
fully inserted and they all sit flush to the wall – tap gently with a hammer
if necessary. If any of your wall plugs are sticking out, they will prevent
your bracket from sitting flush to the wall when mounted.
Step Seven – Fix Shelf Brackets to the wall
Screw Shelf Brackets to the wall using a screwdriver and No 10 x 50
countersunk screws.
Step Eight – Fix shelf to brackets
Position shelf to the supporting brackets and ensure it is level, sitting
central on the brackets. Use a screwdriver and No 6 x 19 countersunk screws to
fix brackets to the underside of shelf. Alternatively, fit plugs provided
should you wish to bond a shelf to the bracket.
