T-LOC-2015 20" Floating Bracket For Heavy Shelves

T-LOC-2015 20" Floating Shelf Bracket is a concealed support from InnovaShelf designed for wood substrates, so it anchors directly into wood structure for strong, dependable support on built-ins and storage runs. The patented T-LOC leveling system uses a specially designed slotted base plate that slides onto the screws, which provides on-the-wall adjustability and adds strength at the connection point. Brackets and arms are crafted from high quality materials, giving the assembly maximum strength and durability when loaded with demanding shelf applications. The bracket is designed for a hollow shelf, so the arms integrate inside the shelf cavity for a clean, floating look without visible supports. A 450 lb rating per pair means the bracket system is built for serious storage duty where high capacity matters. The shelf is secured to the bracket with self-tapping trim screws, creating a tight mechanical connection between shelf and bracket.

Key T-LOC Floating Bracket Details For Installers

• The patented T-LOC system utilizes a specially designed slotted base plate that slides onto the screws, allowing on-the-wall adjustment that helps dial in level alignment along a run of shelves.
• Brackets and arms are crafted from high quality materials, which delivers maximum strength and durability for long-term use on storage or display shelves subjected to heavy loading.
• The bracket is designed to be installed into a wood substrate, so it ties directly into wood framing or blocking where wood structure is available behind the wall surface.
• A 450 lb capacity rating per pair gives the bracket the strength for demanding closet, garage, and utility shelving jobs where high load capacity is important.
• The design is intended for a hollow shelf, allowing the arms to disappear inside the shelf body for a concealed, floating appearance on finished installations.
• The shelf is secured to the bracket with self-tapping trim screws, creating a positive mechanical connection that holds the shelf firmly to the support arms.

Installation Details For Wood Substrate Floating Shelves

This InnovaShelf floating shelf bracket is designed to be installed into a wood substrate, so its performance depends on fastening into wood structure such as studs or wood blocking behind the finished surface. The patented T-LOC leveling system utilizes a specially designed slotted base plate that slides onto the screws, allowing fine adjustment of the bracket position after the screws are driven into the wood. That sliding interface helps bring multiple brackets into plane, which supports straighter, better-aligned hollow shelves. The bracket is intended for a hollow shelf, so the arms project outward to nest inside the shelf cavity before the self-tapping trim screws secure the shelf to the arms. With a 450 lb rating per pair, the installation supports high-capacity shelving in closets, garages, and utility spaces where heavy loads are expected.

Using The T-LOC-2015 Floating Bracket In Real Projects

Where This Hollow Shelf Bracket Works Best

The T-LOC-2015 20" Floating Shelf Bracket for Wood Stud fits projects that use hollow shelves over wood-framed walls in closets, garages, or general storage areas. Because the bracket is designed to be installed into a wood substrate, it suits installations where wood studs or wood blocking form the structural backing. The bracket and arm construction uses high quality materials, so it supports demanding storage shelves or display runs expected to carry substantial weight. The bracket is designed for a hollow shelf, meaning the arms slide inside the shelf body to create a concealed support for a floating presentation. In closet and garage organization layouts, the 20 inch arm length gives deep hollow shelves solid engagement, helping the 450 lb per pair capacity serve heavier-duty layouts.

How T-LOC Leveling Supports Repeatable Shelf Results

The patented T-LOC leveling system utilizes a specially designed slotted base plate that slides onto the screws, giving room to adjust bracket position before final tightening. That adjustability helps align multiple brackets on a wall, which supports straighter hollow shelves with fewer alignment issues between units. When the base plate slides on the mounting screws, minor placement corrections are possible without relocating the fasteners in the wood substrate. Brackets and arms are crafted from high quality materials, so once aligned, the assembly maintains its position under load. The shelf is secured to the bracket with self-tapping trim screws, tying the shelf skin directly to the arms to reduce shelf movement over time. Combined with the 450 lb rating per pair, this system serves repeated installations where consistent alignment and capacity are priorities.
