I have a computer armoire made of fiber board,(not wood). Can I install this product to add shelves to it?
BEST ANSWER: You should be able to surface mount these using #6 x 1/2" brass wood screws. I would not attempt to create a dado to mount this flush with the inside surface as this will likely substantially compromise the strength of the fiber board resulting in the board breaking along the dado.

Can these supports be installed routed into gypsum wall board if screwed to studs behind? I need to make 8 shelves capable of handling nearly 100 lbs per shelf. Are these brackets suited to this need? Thanks for your help with this.
BEST ANSWER: shelving brackets are designed to be installed into a routed groove,how ever I never routed Gypsum board. If you can get a clean groove cut into the Gypsum board, I don't see why these would not work. You will probably need longer screws to attach to studs behind. Hope this helps. Steve

How much weight can these carry? I'm looking to put some heavy entertainment devices. Can it carry 40 pounds?
BEST ANSWER: Not sure, but I'd categorize these shelf standards as decorative rather than industrial so I'd be wary of putting too much weight on them. At 40 lbs. per shelf, you'd have 20 lbs. load per bracket which they should handle OK but I would not exceed that.

Is this per piece or a set of four?
BEST ANSWER: The prices are per piece. Also, it is important that you buy the pieces that you need. For example, If you are making a cabinet with a 30"' interior you should consider purchasing 4 pieces of 36" (left and right sides and front and back). Do not try to save money by buying 2 pieces of 72". If you cut them in half (approximately) to fit your cabinet, the slots probably will not line up properly, and your shelf may be unstable. KV, the brand sold by Rockler, is high quality and the slots will always line up if the factory edge is on the base of the bookcase or cabinet, or mounted at the same distance above the base (use a shim block to be sure). In my experience, the slots on some of the cheaper shelf standards, often sold in home centers, do not always line up. So you would have to test them first and grind the bottoms of some of the standards to bring the slots into alignment. My favorite way to mount the shelf standards is to cut a dado in the sides of the bookcase or cabinet, before assembly, so that the standards are completely recessed. I buy them long and cut them to fit the full length of the dado. (They cut easily with a hacksaw.)

The sides of my cabinet will be 11" wide. I want to use these standards for my shelves. How close together should they be on the sides?
BEST ANSWER: On 12" upper cabinets I typically space the standards 2" from the inside of the face frame and the back wall. I also recess them in a dado and then use 1/2" brass screws to secure them rather than using the nails supplied with the standards.

Has anyone used screws in place of the provided brads to mount these? If so, what size screw did you use (#3 or #4)?
BEST ANSWER: I use #8 x 1/2" for mounting. My standards are installed in a dado so the surface is flush with my cabinet side.

I have used these before. Very handy, easy to install and substantial. I recess them in the vertical sides of a piece and make the shelves the same width as the opening. A versatile product.

Worked great. Recommend morticing them for best look and most accurate alignment. The numbered slots for the brackets are anise touch.

Brass Standards
I found the standards for my shelve projects. I recessed the standards and made more room for storage. The shelves helped make more room in my small work shop.

I needed these for shelves on a birch desk I'm building. I wanted a bright brass finish to compliment the golden color of the birch. Unfortunately what I got were poorly plated standards and supports that had more of a silvery bronze tone to them. I wouldn't recommend these if you want a bright brass color and an even finish.
