How It Compares
Compared With Fixed shelf brackets
The folding bracket trades a little load capacity for the ability to clear the wall completely, which fixed brackets cannot do.
Use Guide
- Fit both brackets at the same height; an uneven pair prevents the lock from seating.
- Release the lock before folding, and never force the arm down while it is engaged.
