KV82/KV182 shelf locator joiner from Knape and Vogt is designed for use with KV182 Series brackets, so it works directly within that established shelving system. This locator stabilizes the shelf on brackets, helping the shelf stay seated during everyday loading and unloading. Because the part is described with a clear finish, it visually blends with most shelf materials and keeps the focus on the shelving rather than the hardware. The same locator can also be used to join two shelves on a single bracket, allowing a continuous run of shelving over one support point when that layout is needed. With the brand specified as Knape and Vogt and the product class noted as shelf bracket accessories, the piece fits into typical closet, garage, or general shelving projects that are already using KV182 Series brackets.
This Knape and Vogt shelf bracket accessory is identified as the KV82/KV182 shelf locator joiner, tying it directly to KV182 Series brackets for straightforward specification on material lists. Because it stabilizes shelf on brackets, it supports a more predictable shelf position once the system is set. When locators are used to join two shelves on a single bracket, the shared support helps keep both shelf ends aligned at that point. The mention of a bracket lock that anchors brackets to standards ties this part to standard-and-bracket installations common in closet and garage organization, where brackets must stay seated in slotted standards during daily use.

Because locators are clear, they visually recede on lighter shelves and help keep the hardware from drawing attention in finished storage runs. The product name KV82/KV182 shelf locator joiner and manufacturer part number 182DP LCTR/JNR give a defined identifier for purchasing and reordering in projects that standardize on KV182 Series components.
The locator stabilizes shelf on brackets, which helps keep shelves seated when items are moved on and off, supporting consistent alignment over time. When locators are used to join two shelves on a single bracket, the connection at that shared bracket helps both shelf sections act together at that point instead of behaving as separate pieces. The web description also notes a bracket lock that anchors brackets to standards, so the support structure remains engaged with the vertical standards during normal loading. With locators described as clear and locks as black, installers can quickly distinguish which part secures the shelf and which part secures the bracket, simplifying field organization when working on multi-shelf installations.
