Re: Installing Home Solutions shelf bracket on existing mounts

Hi @ALimestoneWall,

 

The Flexi Storage Home Solutions White Hanging Rod Bracket attaches to the bottom of the Flexi Storage Home Solutions 350mm White Double Slot Wire Shelf Bracket. Although your brackets are similar, some slight differences make me think that the bracket you've pictured is not this item.

 

An easy way to tell would be to look for the slots I've marked below in the image. If your brackets do not have these slots, it might be worth picking up one of the new brackets to see if it fits your wall strip. Your brackets might have been from an older model before they made the addition of the slots for the hanger.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the response.

 

Just to make sure we're on the same page, as you've circled the bottom of the brackets, I am wondering if the Home Solutions brackets will fit on my existing strips.

 

The ends do look quite similar:

Is that what you meant?

 

 

 

 

Re: Installing Home Solutions shelf bracket on existing mounts

Sorry, I interpreted it the other way around, @ALimestoneWall.

 

In the absence of Home Solutions being open during the holiday period, the only way to tell is to try them. Home Solutions' newer items are often backward compatible with their older wall strips. Given the similarity, I would suggest that there is a good chance the new brackets will fit your wall strips. If not, you can return them for a refund.

Re: Installing Home Solutions shelf bracket on existing mounts

They do fit on my existing ones, but strangely enough https://www.bunnings.com.au/flexi-storage-home-solutions-white-hanging-rod-bracket-2-pack-white_p266... doesn't fit in the bottom of https://www.bunnings.com.au/flexi-storage-home-solutions-350mm-white-double-slot-wire-shelf-bracket-.... I had to take hammer it in with a rubber mallet, and then the second metal bit (without the hole) wouldn't stay secure in its hole.
