A Message From The Inventor....
"LesLok" shelf safety fixing bracket. (UK Patent Pending....)
This small easy to fit bracket, a world first, solves an everyday problem that can have catastrophic consequences.
I have been using twin-slot shelving for more than 50 years and it is only after my grandchildren pulled down an insecure shelf full of photographs that I resolved to fix this stability safety issue.
I never screw the shelves to their supporting bracket from underneath. It is very fiddly and once fixed you cannot alter the height of the shelf.
LesLok sits unobtrusively on the top surface of the shelf. No skill required to install, just stick it in place. The shelf will no longer slide around but is still repositionable to a new height.
Everything you need is supplied and the use of a screw is optional. One bracket at each end of the shelf is all you need.

The standard LesLok "Slot n' Hold" shelf safety bracket fits shelf thicknesses from 1/2" (12.7mm) to 20mm which is a little over 3/4". This is suitable for most installations.
In UK and Europe typical shelf thicknesses are 15mm and 18mm while in USA 1/2" and 3/4" are most common.
We also supply a version of the bracket to fit thicker shelves from 21mm to 26mm (1" = 25.4mm).
Colours available are Black or White in either size. Pricing is the same.
Superficially, most twin-slot shelving uprights and support brackets look identical. Different manufactures, however, have varied the slot size and spacing very slightly as well as the "weight" of the steel used for their uprights and support brackets. This tiny difference can cause problems for the consumer as you cannot always mix and match uprights and support brackets from different manufacturers.
Our "Shelf Safety Bracket" is designed to be a universal fit and backed by a no quibble money back guarantee.
We have tested our LesLok safety bracket for compatibility with twin slot shelving supplied by Wickes, Screwfix, B&Q, Rothley, Element 32, Spur, RBUK etc. Typically with 32mm slot spacing.
If you are using "Elfa" brand manufactured in Sweden (Altro), the slot spacing is quite different and requires our Altro compatible safety bracket which we have manufactured specifically for that product. Contact us directly, same price, same fitting just slightly different design to fit their hardware.

Basic Installation Instructions:
Please "test fit" the LesLok safety bracket before you attach the adhesive pad as once it is stuck to the shelf the adhesive is intended to be permanent. Practice inserting the LesLok bracket into the appropriate slot above the shelf and lowering it on to the surface of the shelf to hold the shelf firmly in the required position against the upright.
1. Use the alcohol wipe to clean the base of the bracket and the contact surface of the shelf. Ensure that the surfaces are clean and dry.
2. Peel one side of the adhesive pad from its backing and stick it to the bottom face of the LesLok bracket.
3. Position the shelf in its final position.
4. Peel the remaining backing from the adhesive pad, carefully hook the LesLok safety bracket into the slot in the upright support above the shelf and lower it in to place on the surface of the shelf pressing firmly.
The adhesive is extremely strong and will achieve full strength after a few hours.
5. If required (recommended) insert the screw. No pilot hole is needed and the adhesive pad ensures that the LesLok bracket is held firmly in the correct position. You may choose to fix the screw with the shelf in place but it is often much easier to lift out the shelf (see below) and do this in a more convenient area.
