These instructions will be accurate for shelves made with ¾” thick material. If your material is a different thickness, you will need to consider that when measuring and marking for the placement of brackets.

* The overall height of your shelf will need to be at least 2 1/8” to cover the holes completely.

Step 1: Determine where you want the top of your shelf to be on the wall and mark it with a horizontal line.

Step 2: Locate and mark both ends of the studs. We’ve found that an electronic stud finder works best.

Step 3: Measure and mark for 2” x 2” holes by marking 1/8” below your horizontal line made in Step 1. This mark will be the top of your hole. Make sure this mark is also centered over your stud(s). You can utilize the shoe of your bracket to outline where you’re going to cut.

Step 4: Use a sheetrock saw or an oscillating saw to cut out the sheetrock. Don’t worry if you’re slightly off the stud from left to right, you can widen the hole to fit the bracket and it will be covered by your shelf.

Step 5: Determine which is the top and bottom of your bracket by measuring the space from the rod to the top of the shoe. The top is 5/8” and the bottom is 7/8”. Place the bracket onto the stud through the 2” x 2” hole. We recommend using the provided 3/16” lag screw.

Step 6: Using the holes on top and bottom, screw the bracket into the stud until snug. By tightening the top or bottom screw you can level the bracket.

In the event a screw breaks, or for extra support, cut the sheetrock to the left and/or right of the hole and utilize the holes on the sides to secure the bracket.

Our brackets are designed to hold up to 150lbs each. Also be sure to secure your shelf to the wall, rather than just setting it on the brackets. To secure your shelf to the wall, we recommend using a cleat. You can silicone, nail, or screw your shelf to the cleat.

Step 1: Determine where the bottom of the cabinet meets the top of the bracket. Mark the wall with a horizontal line.

Step 2: Locate and mark both ends of the studs. We’ve found that an electronic stud finder works best.

Step 3: Measure and mark for 2” by 2” holes by starting 5/8” above your horizontal line marked in step 1. This will be the top of the hole. Make sure these marks are also centered over the stud(s). You can utilize the shoe of your bracket to outline where you’re going to cut.

Step 4: Use a sheetrock saw or an oscillating saw to cut out the sheetrock. Don’t worry if you’re slightly off the stud from left to right, you can widen the hole to fit the bracket. Your cabinet will cover everything above the bracket.

Step 5: Place the bracket onto the stud through the 2” by 2” hole. We recommend using the provided 3/16” lag screws.

Step 6: Using the holes on top and bottom, screw the bracket into the stud until snug. By tightening the top or bottom screw you can level the bracket.

In the event a screw breaks, or for extra support, cut the sheetrock to the left and/or right of the hole and utilize the holes on the sides to secure the bracket.

Our brackets are designed to hold up to 200lbs each. Also be sure to secure your cabinet to the wall, rather than just setting it on the brackets. Included with the bracket is also our Wall Cover, Mid Clip, and End Cap which are optional pieces. The Wall Cover can be used to cover the bottom half of the hole in the sheetrock, as your cabinet will cover the top. The Mid Clip and End Cap can be used to fasten the FS-20 bracket to the bottom of the cabinet if you choose to.
