The L-Bracket metal angle supports for countertops by The Original Granite Bracket® gives virtually invisible support to granite, quartz, marble and other natural stone or heavy kitchen countertops.
Note: This bracket MUST be used with a knee or pony wall or inside a cabinet reinforced with a 2x6. If you are looking for a bracket for shelving we have those here.
When installed this steel countertop bracket provides an open space for chairs and leg room, meaning you no longer need to use bulky wooden corbels.
The L Bracket is a low profile, non-intrusive support bracket made of 1/2 inch thick by 2-1/2 inch wide American steel on the horizontal piece [see listing for length] and the vertical piece [tang] is made of 1/4 inch by 2-1/2 inch X 6 inch long wide American steel.
Horizontal Piece Dimensions:
Length ……..…. [see listing]
Width …………. 2 ½ inches
Thickness …..…. ½ inch
Countersunk Hole Diameter… 1/4 inch
Vertical Piece [Tang] Dimensions:
Length.......6 inches [do not include this piece in determining what length to use]
Width …………. 2 ½ inches
Thickness..... 1/4 inch
Hole Diameter.....1/4 inch
How to Determine What Length to Use:
Bracket is sized in length tip to tip horizontally; therefore a 9 inch bracket is 9 inches tip to tip horizontally. [do no use vertical tang in measurements]
When determining lengths stay stay from outer edge 3 inches and do not forget to add in the thickness of the knee/pony wall or the 2X6 inside the cabinet.
Example of how to determine the size L Bracket you will need:
If you have a knee/pony wall: Let's say you have a 12 inch overhang, plus 4 inch in the knee/pony wall, equals 16 inches, minus 3 inches outer edge, means you would need a 13 inch L-Bracket.
We recommend placing an L Bracket on each stud in your knee/pony wall for maximum countertop protection.
If using a 2x6: Let's say you have a 12 inch overhang, plus 1 1/2 inches for the 2x6, plus 1/2" {measure your cabinet this is an example} for the thickness of the back wall of your cabinet, minus 3 inches outer edge, means you need an 11 inch L Bracket.
We recommend spacing your bracket 16-20 inches apart when using a 2x6 for maximum countertop protection.
Note: We do not recommend using the L Bracket for shelving, this bracket is designed to be used inside cabinets or over knee/pony wall for coutnertop protection. For shelving we recommend our Regular Shelf Bracket or Large Shelf Bracket.

They are perfect. My husband and son installed them tonight. Granite goes on Monday, so everything arrived on time to hit the install date.
Thanks so much for your help and flexibility to adjust my order. I will definitely recommend your company to others.

Good. The brackets work well, I didn't need 5 of them as they suggested so I returned 3 of them. They processed refunds very quickly

Purchased a set of 13" brackets for a bar on kitchen island. Mounted from the back of the pony wall and over the top of the pony wall, recessed on both surfaces. Wow these are very well made brackets no bend at all and this over the top install is the way to go for strength. Highly recommended.

I was informed by the company that is supposed install my countertops that they didn't carry the brackets to do the job. It is supposed to be installed at the beginning of the next week. I called your company and they were not only able to sell me what I needed, but I received them today (the next day). Of all the things that have gone wrong in getting these countertops, you are the ONLY company that came through. THANKS!! You are greatly appreciated!

This product is exactly what I needed. I used 2 brackets to make a large island extension for our kitchen.
