What bracket should I use to hang a store sign level?
A slotted L-bracket. Screw it to the wall through the slot, rest the sign on the short leg, and slide the bracket until the sign is level before you tighten it. The slot takes up the error, so there is no redrilling when the wall or the first hole is off. BINKIN’s galvanized slotted bracket is made in the USA, takes #8 screws and comes in packs of 8 to 100.
Why a slotted bracket
Level after it is up
Slide nearly 2 inches along the slot until the bubble centres, then lock it.
The same height down the aisle
Set a run of signs or fixtures to one laser line, bracket by bracket.
Resets without patching
For small moves, loosen, slide and tighten again. No new holes in a finished wall.
How a sign goes up
- AnchorScrew each bracket to the wall through its slot, snug enough to hold, loose enough to slide. Short leg out, where the sign will sit.
- SlideRest the sign on the short legs, put a level on it and slide the low bracket up until it reads true.
- LockTighten the slot screws, then fasten through each short leg’s hole into the sign or its frame.
Where it gets used
- Aisle and department signs
- Shelf and endcap fixtures
- Price and menu boards
- Framed graphics and mirrors
- Window displays and risers
Light-duty fixtures and signage. How much any small bracket holds depends far more on the screws and what they go into than on the steel; use fasteners suited to the wall, and load-rated hardware for anything heavy or overhead.
Which pack
About 40¢ a bracket. Enough for fifty signs on two brackets each.
Four signs or shelves, to try it on your next install.
Questions people ask
Can I hang signs on drywall with these brackets?
Yes, with fasteners made for drywall, or into studs where you can reach them. How much a bracket holds depends far more on the screws and the wall than on the steel, so for anything heavy use studs or anchors suited to the load. BINKIN does not publish a load rating.
Will the brackets show?
The short leg sits under or behind the sign, so from customer height you see the sign, not the hardware. For fully hidden mounting, see hidden brackets for whiteboards.
Do you sell in bulk to stores and distributors?
Yes. Packs of up to 100 are online, and retailers and distributors can request a line review for wholesale pricing.
Are BINKIN brackets made in the USA?
Yes. BINKIN brackets are made in the USA, from galvanized steel.
