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.
