Mounting Guidance:

Install using 3/8” stainless steel anchoring bolts appropriate for the wall surface (not included). Use ¾” or greater back bracing for enhanced support. Where feasible, through-bolt the unit. For drywall or partition installations, use T-nuts or heavy-duty wall anchors.

Warranty:

All 12-gauge models are covered by Vandal Stop’s 10-Year Vandalism Warranty. If the shelf is damaged due to vandalism while properly installed, we will repair or replace it — the most comprehensive protection available in the category.

Competitor Comparison:

Where other utility shelves use lightweight materials that warp or tear under load, the AA-VRS series uses heavy 12-gauge stainless steel and industrial-grade welds to provide unmatched rigidity. Unlike competitors, Vandal Stop includes a 10-year warranty and manufactures all models in the USA.

All of Vandal Stop Products are made by hand in the USA using American-sourced stainless steel. While some products might be available in stock, most are made to order. Our general estimated lead times are:

• Quantity 1 - 10 = ~4 to 6 weeks for production
• Quantity 11 - 50 = ~4 to 8 weeks for production
• Quantity 51 - 100 = ~6 to 10 weeks for production
• Quantity 101 - 200 = ~10 to 16 weeks for production
• Quantity 200+ = Call for estimate

Due to holidays and winter weather, some production delays may occur during the months of November, December, January, and February. 

Due to increased demand, more time be required for production. If you have a critical delivery date requirement, please call or email to verify lead times prior to placing an order.

Stocked Items

For certain items that we sell often, we do our best to either keep inventory on the shelf or keep a constant production cue going. For items that are considered "stocked" we will generally be able to ship within 5 business days or less.

Why Are Stocked Items More Expensive?

We're adapting to your needs! While we specialize in made-to-order products, we recognize the growing demand for immediate availability. Adjusting to this requires foresight in demand anticipation, material procurement, initiating stock production, and warehousing—all incurring additional costs. Consequently, our stocked items are priced to reflect these overheads. For customers who can accommodate a production lead time, we're pleased to offer discounted pricing as a thank you for your flexibility.

Credit Card orders will be charged at the time of checkout. If you wish to be billed when your order ships, you can use the "Pay by Purchase Order" option on the payment section of checkout. You will be asked to upload a PDF copy of your Purchase Order along with a reseller certificate of tax exempt status is applicable. We will invoice you once your order has been shipped.
