All of the plastic peices have pre drilled holes, the tops will have two per peice and the screws are provided. No drilling required, cut the lengths and screw that's it.

1) YES 2)NO 3) YES, but I just screwed directly from the bottom of shelflinks into the 2x4s, not from the top. I just put the wood on the floor and laid the shelflink on top of 2x4s and marked on the wood and drilled the screws without predrilling. The Home Depots cheapest 2x4 I used were soft enough so there was no need to drill a hole first. Used a portable drill with a screw head.

I i used a drill with a phillips bit from underneath, into the ShelfLinks and thru the wood.i used a clamp to secure all of it and had it laying on the floor. The holes are predrilled in the plastic.

The links already have holes and you justput the screws in from the bottom. All of the screws are provided and the instructions are good. Its easier than it looks.

Screw the screw up into the wood through the predrilled holes into the wood

Screw holes are predrilled in the shelf links. You attach top boards from underneath. There is no need to drill through top boards. I drilled a small pilot hole to facilitate starting the screws.

The holes are there so u cans screw the cross boards to I didn't use 2x4s I used 3/4 ply wood for my shelves that way I could make the shelves deeper I did this along my basement wall and just recently in a room over my garage for More storage

there is a hole drilled in the glass that holds the shelf to the bracket, so they can't be moved. I have a problem with some of my larger components that have thicker cables/bigger connectors behind them. I am considering going to a Glass place and having them just cut me a larger shelf from glass that looks the same. Another option, for the connectors at least, is mounting a piece of 2x4 to the stud, then mounting the wall mount to the 2x4, giving me another 1.5" behind the components to work with. If I cut it to the right size and paint it with a flat black paint I think it will blend right in.

Top shelf has two mounting choices approx 2 inches higher or lower. These are pre drilled holes in the vertical support. If you are handy and have a drill and bits capable of drilling through metal you might be able to put that top shelf any height you want.

There are holes into the main grill body that hold the bolts that secure the side shelves which you certainly want to cover in one way or another. You can see the bolts passing through into the body in the 5th picture, the top down view on the left side. You could install these provided bolts/washers to cover the holes and possible even go buy shorter bolts to reduce overhang since they won't be supporting the shelf anymore. I'd also bet that you could find a plug of some kind at either a home improvement store or an automotive store to use in place of the bolts, it just needs to be temp rated for at least 750 degrees.

If you are mounting into a wood fore end, go to ace and pick up a few stainless steel wood screws. Layout , mark and pilot drill your holes, so the screws don't crack the wood. Please don't use a big pilot bit, or the screws will strip out.

I just checked again and you can NOT swap the top load bearing shelf. The other two shelves have holes all the way through. The load bearing shelf does not.

I'm not sure I understand how you want to mount the safe but the pre-drilled holes are on the bottom. You can drill through the back of the safe without a lot of difficulty. I drilled two holes in mine in order to loop a very small cable through the back and then secured to the cable to another piece of furniture so if you steal my safe you have to take the bed with it. If you are thinking of mounting this on a wall with the door sticking straight out it may be possible but the weight of the safe may damage your wall. Keep in mind that the door is spring loaded too so opening and closing the door may eventually cause the screws/bolts to come loose. Hope this helps.

Hi Pkel,Thank you for your inquiry!You use self drilling carpenter screws to drill the holes.BisonOffice

I did drill holes in my door, and used the plastic brackets furnished to mount to a wall. This made a very tight, solid installation. But you should be able to buy some removeable, glue-tape brackets, and use them just as well. The shelves worked very well for us.

Hi S.O. - No, you don't need to drill holes. There's two brackets at the top that fit over the door. And the shelving units are in 2 separate pieces that you loop to connect. If you swing the door super fast it can cause the bottom shelf to bang against the door which I wouldn't encourage. Overall it's a great product!

If I remember correctly the rod that supports the third shelf has the screw on top. The rod that supports the top shelf has the hole to receive the cap screw. So without the fourth shelf the screw would be sticking up. That's why it didn't work for me.

Well, I'm two years too late to help GC, but here's the easiest way I've found after assembling 3 small 3-shelf units: Place one shelf upside down on carpet and put the screwed-together legs upside down in the corner holes. Place clips where you want them for the bottom shelf. Pick a spot, attach the clip, and slide it up or down slowly until it clicks into place. Snap the other half of the clip into the first one's indentations. Since the legs are upside down, make sure the word "top" is pointing DOWN. Do this for all 4 legs and then slide the shelf up to the clips, getting it as tight as possible. Carefully turn the unit right-side-up and press down firmly (put your weight into it) on the shelf until it is in place on all 4 corners. Test it by lifting the unit off the floor by the shelf, not the legs; repeat pressing down if necessary until it holds together when lifted. Position the next set of clips and slide the next shelf down and into place. Repeat until done, being sure to test each shelf as you go, and voila, instant super heavy duty, super easy, even fairly attractive shelving! I really love these things, best deal around!

2 screws and anchors. Use a small nail to start your hole and insert the anchor. Then screw in the screws to desired depth. Mount shelf on screws.

Hi. I want to build a shelf that falls down. Not one that gets pulled up. Would it in your opinion make sense to use these brackets? They would be on the two sides of the surface I will be using. Thanks for any reply on that!

I attached mine to the side of an above counter cabinet. I used screws longer than the width of the cabinet side by aligning the screws with a shelf inside so the screws went into the side of the shelf and wouldn't be seen. Worked great. Hope this helps.

There is a board that you screw into the wall studs. I predrilled the holes to make it easier to screw in the screws, they are about 3 inches long. The shelf has a matching board that attaches to the back of the shelf. Then you lift the shelf on the board that is in the wall and they lock together.

You can attach the board to the top using several heavy duty staples. I did not do this as I don't have much room above. My concern is that these top flanges do not extend out very far and I think that you would create a moment if you weight the board edge. Therefore, I think that the answer is partly because you don't see the board ends. They must mount this board on the ends.
