  • Enhanced Security: The flange on the screw head provides additional security by helping to secure the shelf bracket firmly against the garage wall surface.
  • Strength and Reliability: These screws are designed to handle heavier loads, making them ideal for storing heavier items on your Toden™ shelves.
  • Weather Resistance: If you are installing Toden™ shelves in environments prone to humidity or temperature variations, these screws offer superior resistance to weathering.

These are easy to install, and work remarkably well - all while looking fantastic!

We did a little DIY project in our basement storage room and love the results! The brackets are easy to install, they hold a LOT of weight, and they go together very easily! Consider us impressed!

My son’s bedroom

I used it to have a low hanging shelve in my son’s room to keep all his toys organized. Stacked toys, book shelve, baby monitor and any other random thing he wants. Under I purchased baskets for him to have easy access to keep all of his toys organized and so simple for him to put them away on his own.

I am so happy with this product.

Quick Gear Closet

I got these brackets after ordering my shelves with the goal of creating a simple gear closet to hang my wetsuits, jackets and backpacks. If you have the shelves the brackets fit anywhere and can be installed or taken down in minutes.

Garage Upgrade

Happy with my order these shelves are STURDY and easy to install. I wanted something to upgrade my garage storage for all of my gear in the house I'm renting but still be able to easily disassemble and take with me when the lease is over. Highly recommend for anyone looking for something that will last a lifetime.

Does great job at hiding cords and makes ends super clean

These end caps make it easy to hide cords if you are running an LED strip. They also hide any imperfections that could have happened when cutting the Toden surface. I use these on all my Toden shelves.

Unique product to make shelves super modular and versatile

I love how I can extend the shelves just by adding these sleeves. I just popped these into an existing Toden shelf, and bam, just like that I was able to continue the shelf to be twice as long. I will be picking more of these up.

Great Shelves

These shelves were perfect for my garage. Dave reached out and gave some excellent ideas on how I can expand my use of them and some better choices for the hooks.

Functional, well thought out design. Game changer for gear closet organization. I am able to hang my packs, helmets and gear, and still have space for a hanging rod for clothes. No other product exists. Love that everything is made out of recycled plastic. All my friends who come over are jealous and comment about how rad my gear closet is. Great work and thank you Toden!
