John Sterling BK-0102-14 FAST-MOUNT Double Bracket, 14-Inch, Galvanized, Silver

I purchased these to add to shelving purchased 15 years ago, used for storing lumber, which tells you that it is very sturdy. Surprisingly, these new shelf brackets are made in the US, but they are not as stout as the old ones. The metal is thinner. The new 14" brackets weigh less than my old 10" brackets. The new ones also fit a bit looser in the shelf standards. Also note that if you are adding to existing shelving, the design of the tabs which attach to the standard has changed. Consequently, the new brackets rest higher in the standard than the old, so old and new cannot be combined on the same shelf. These comments are the same as made by other Amazon reviewers of the 10" brackets. Note that the photo on Amazon as of April 2016 shows the old style. See my attached photos for the new and old, side by side. The second photo has the new bracket on top, and shows the difference in attaching related to the differing tabs. Despite the changes, these new brackets perform their function as intended and I am fully satisfied.

Adding to an existing Sterling Double Bracket. Originally using some 300lb rated brackets that have the angled support bar. I like these since they don’t waste as much space underneath, but I loose some of the support; these are rated at 100lbs. I have to watch my loading to insure I’m under. They seem to work well; they fit the double brackets just fine. No issues with the order or delivery.

This was a replacement of the original order I placed. In both the original order and this one the hooks on the shelf bracket differed substantially from the photo that was displayed! The difference was sufficient so that I could not use this item. See the photograph that shows both Amazon's web site picture and the actual product.The problem is how a new bracket is added between existing shelves. According to the photo you can just slide the bracket in between shelves and attach it to the rail. The actual bracket has to be inserted at a 45 degree angle and then pivoted into final position. This takes a lot more room.

Use with JS mounting standards for adjustable shelves. Very sturdy, well made.

These are ok. Clunky design and not nearly the thickness of metal used for the Sterling tracks. Rockler used to have a better track and bracket set available but they stopped offering it. I would not go out of my way to buy these again, but I guess I'll be living with them for the time being. Surely there is something better out there.

I tried every bracket available from Lowes and none fit the existing standards I had. I was able to locate this bracket by reading a label on an existing larger bracket.

Worked, but didn't need it

It's a shelf bracket that fits the standard that I had

I will buy more of these when I can but since I live on a fixed income John Sterling and his Fast-Mounts will have to wait for their turn at the money bowl.

Fast delivery and fits ass it should.
