12" KV160LL Standard-Duty Lock Lever Bracket, Anochrome Finish

12 Inch KV160 Shelf Bracket For Standards

12 inch KV160 shelf bracket from Knape and Vogt is a standard-duty lock lever bracket that supports shelving on KV single slot, 1 inch adjustment standards. This bracket is part of the KV Model KV160 family, so it fits into established KV single slot layouts when you are building or extending a run of adjustable shelving. The 14-gauge steel construction provides a solid metal arm to carry typical shelf loads in closets, garages, and storage areas where standard-duty performance is needed. An anochrome finish covers the bracket, giving a uniform metallic look that coordinates with matching KV standards for a consistent appearance across the installation. At 12 inches in length, the bracket works with shelves sized to span deeper storage without overextending beyond the support point.

Key Shelf Bracket Details For Installers

• KV Model KV160 designation ties this bracket directly to the KV160 standard system, so installers can match it with any KV single slot, 1 inch adjustment standard already in place.
• The 12 inch length provides a defined support depth that aligns well with common shelving sizes, helping maintain stable support across the shelf span.
• Compatibility with any KV single slot, 1 inch adjustment standard lets installers use one bracket style across multiple runs, simplifying layout work and service replacements.
• The anochrome finish gives a neutral metallic appearance that blends with typical KV standards, which helps projects look consistent from bracket to bracket.
• Construction from 14-gauge steel creates a rigid support arm that resists flex under normal standard-duty use, helping keep shelves aligned over time.
• The standard-duty designation sets realistic expectations for typical closet and general storage applications where heavy industrial loading is not required.

Installation Details For KV160LL Lock Lever Bracket

The 12 inch KV160LL standard-duty lock lever bracket is designed for use with KV single slot, 1 inch adjustment standards, so it engages the same vertical slots installers already know from the KV160 system. Two engagement teeth at the rear of the bracket lock into the standard, which helps seat the bracket firmly in the slot pattern during installation. A built-in lock lever reinforces the bracket's hold to the standard, giving an additional mechanical grip once the bracket is positioned at the desired height. At the front, a shelf lip at the end of the bracket provides a raised edge that helps keep the shelf located over the support arm instead of shifting forward in use.

Using KV160LL Brackets In Shelving Runs

Where This KV Shelf Bracket Is Applied

The Knape and Vogt 12 inch KV160LL standard-duty lock lever bracket is used wherever KV single slot, 1 inch adjustment standards are installed for adjustable shelving. Because it is part of the KV Model KV160 line, it fits seamlessly into closets, pantries, and general storage areas already planned around KV shelf standards and brackets. Available lengths in the same series - 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 inches - give installers a range of depth options using the same general bracket design, so a project can combine shallow and deep shelves while maintaining a consistent bracket style.

Details That Support Stable Shelving Performance

The two engagement teeth at the rear of the bracket provide a positive connection into the KV single slot, 1 inch adjustment standard, which helps reduce bracket shift when shelves are loaded and unloaded during everyday use. The built-in lock lever reinforces the bracket's hold to the standard, adding another layer of retention for standard-duty shelf loads. A shelf lip at the end of the bracket gives the shelf a defined front stop, helping keep the shelf centered on the 12 inch support arm rather than sliding forward. The 14-gauge steel material supports this design by delivering a stiff arm that works together with the engagement teeth, lock lever, and shelf lip to maintain stable, repeatable shelf alignment.
