Angle / Stainless Steel L Bracket

What these brackets are

Angle / Stainless Steel L Bracket is a small right angle brace made from stainless steel. Each bracket measures 0.79 x 0.79 x 0.63 in (20 x 20 x 16 mm), so it suits tight spots where a larger brace would show or get in the way. The countersunk holes let the screw heads sit flush with the surface once fitted.

Use them as shelf brackets for light shelves, as corner braces for small wood projects, or as reinforcement on light furniture. They are not built for heavy loads. Keep them to small shelves and light furniture only.

Sizes and pack options

One size is available. The table below shows the exact measurement and the pack counts you can pick from.

A pack of 10 suits a single small project or a pair of light shelves. A pack of 20 covers a few shelves or a run of corner braces. A pack of 40 is useful when you want the same bracket on hand for several jobs around the home or shop.

Where they work well

These brackets fit light duty jobs. A few common uses:

• Small wood shelves and ledges that hold light items
• Corner braces on boxes, frames, and small cabinets
• Reinforcement on light furniture where a corner needs support
• Repairs on drawers, panels, and other small wood parts

Because the bracket is small, it stays out of sight on most projects. The stainless steel finish wipes clean with a dry cloth and holds up in rooms where moisture is present, such as a bathroom or kitchen, when used for light duty work.

Do not use these brackets for loads heavier than small shelves and light furniture. If you need to hold books, tools, or heavy plants, step up to a larger bracket.

How to fit them

Fitting is simple. Each bracket takes two screws through the countersunk holes, one on each leg of the L.

1. Hold the bracket in place and mark the two screw points.
2. Drill pilot holes sized for your screws.
3. Set the bracket and drive the screws through the countersunk holes.
4. Check the joint for square before you load the shelf or furniture.

Pick screws that match your surface and the load you plan to carry. For a shelf, fix one leg to the wall and the other to the underside of the shelf. For a corner brace, fix one leg to each panel.

Care and finish

Stainless steel is easy to keep clean. Wipe the brackets with a dry cloth. For a deeper clean, use a soft damp cloth and dry them right away. Skip abrasive pads and harsh cleaners, which can dull the surface over time.

Picking the right pack

Count the brackets you need before you order. A single shelf usually takes two brackets, so a pack of 10 covers up to five small shelves. A pack of 20 covers up to ten. A pack of 40 gives you room for a larger project or spares for later. All packs ship with the same bracket, so you can mix jobs without changing hardware.
