102 Shelf Bracket
102 Shelf Bracket is a two-leg pressed steel shelf bracket in the London profile, folded from strip steel and punched with six fixing holes so the load is shared across the stud rather than a single screw. It is the volume line for closet, garage and shed shelving, and it is sized to standard lumber widths so retail buyers can shelve it against timber without a conversion table. This model is listed in 5 sizes, from 125 x 150 x 0.7 mm to 300 x 350 x 0.7 mm. Stock finishes are White, grey and black.

How It Compares
Compared With Cast or ornamental brackets
A pressed London bracket carries the same shelf load at a fraction of the weight and unit cost, which matters when the bracket is sold in pairs at a retail price point.
Compared With Plastic shelf supports
Steel does not creep under a sustained load and does not become brittle in an unheated garage or shed.
Use Guide
- Mark the stud centres before drilling; the bracket is designed to land on a stud, not on plasterboard alone.
- Use the longer leg vertically against the wall and the shorter leg under the shelf.
- Fill every punched hole. The stated holding pattern assumes all six screws are used.
- Keep the shelf board flush with the end of the horizontal leg so the load sits inside the bracket, not past it.

Questions About the 102 Shelf Bracket
What shelf depth should I order for a 250 mm board?
Order the bracket whose horizontal leg is equal to or slightly shorter than the board depth, so the board covers the bracket. For a 250 mm board the 200 x 250 mm size is the usual choice.
Can you supply the bracket in our own colour?
Yes. White, grey and black are standard. Other RAL colours are run to order; the colour is applied after forming, so it does not change the tooling.
Are screws included?
Screws are not included as standard on this line. They can be packed with the bracket as a retail set on request.
