Edge Support Bracket with
Lock
Edge support brackets are
left- and right-handed and may
be used to secure the front of a
worksurface to a panel for extra
support.
1. Locate and identify right- or
left-hand edge support bracket to
be used. A right support bracket
is used on the right side of a
worksurface as you face the panel
and the left-handed bracket is
used at the left. The right-hand
orientation is shown (Figure 6).
2. Select the bracket height location
based on the desired worksurface
height. Typical worksurface height
is 29” from top of surface to floor.
ADA height range is 28”-34”.
Example:
The typical KI
worksurface thickness is 1
1
/
8
”;
therefore the installed Unite
cantilever bracket should measure
27
7
/
8
” from top of bracket to the
floor.
3. To install the support bracket,
first orient the teeth of the bracket
into the panel module slotting at
the appropriate height. Ensure
that all teeth are inserted firmly,
then press bracket down to fully
engage all teeth. If necessary, use
a rubber mallet to gently tap the
top of the bracket to firmly seat
the teeth (Figure 6).
4. Align the lock tab bracket
as illustrated, such that the
mounting flange with two screw
holes is positioned under the
mounting flange of the edge
support bracket. While doing so,
insert the lock tooth into the same
panel slot as the top tooth of the
edge support bracket (Figure 6 &
Detail A).
5. Carefully place worksurface onto
installed edge support bracket
(and cantilever brackets), align
mounting holes of brackets to
pre-drilled holes in underside
of worksurface. Secure using
two #12 x

” screws per edge
support bracket and cantilever
bracket. Take care to not
over-tighten screws (Figure 6 &
Detail A).
