Shelving Strips & Wardrobe Fittings

Frequently asked questions — Shelving Strips & Wardrobe Fittings

• How do I determine the load capacity required for my shelving strips?

  The admissible load capacity is the determining factor when selecting your shelving strip and wardrobe bracket systems. A precise assessment of the total load to be supported is essential to prevent any structural deformation of the equipment. It is important to analyse the mechanical constraints associated with your specific operating environment. This technical choice directly governs the selection of materials and associated fixing systems, thereby ensuring the stability and long-term durability of your installation.
• What are the criteria for choosing between shelving strips and furniture hardware?

  The choice between shelving strip and wardrobe solutions and furniture hardware depends on the nature of your fit-out project. Shelving strips, offered under the LOKENDO and SHEPHERD brands, are intended for rail and bracket systems providing modular suspension. Conversely, furniture hardware covers more specific needs related to the manufacture or direct equipping of furniture. The choice between one or the other solution is based on the dimensions of the components, the nature of your supporting surface and the mechanical constraints of the installation.
• Is the modularity of shelving strip systems standardised?

  The modularity of shelving strip systems revolves around precise technical characteristics, notably including the drilling pitch and the type of anchoring. These elements allow fine adaptation of the installation to the specific configurations of your fit-out. Although modularity is high, no standard criteria currently govern this specific sub-category within our catalogue. It is therefore necessary to carefully examine the specifications of LOKENDO or SHEPHERD products to ensure compatibility between your rails, brackets and anchoring type.
• How do environmental constraints influence my choice of equipment?

  The mechanical constraints associated with the operating environment play a major role in guiding your choice of materials and fixing systems. For shelving strip and wardrobe installations, it is necessary to assess the nature of the supporting surface as well as the admissible load to guarantee the integrity of the equipment. In addition to suspension systems, the catalogue includes varied ranges such as locks, door closers and access control systems. The combined analysis of the environment and the load allows the appropriate equipment to be selected from the full range of hardware and locksmithing solutions on offer.
