Cubicle brackets are used to mount objects to cubicle walls, with hardware stores and catalogs offering a variety of options. It’s important to follow instructions and check weight ratings to avoid safety issues. Companies may have policies on cubicle use and installation. Compatibility with devices and wiring should also be considered.
A cubicle bracket is a piece of hardware for use in mounting objects to the walls of a cubicle. Enclosures are fabricated by constructing temporary partitions, often with fabric covered walls, and standard mounting equipment does not always work correctly, especially with heavy items. Hardware and office supply stores often carry brackets for cubicles, including devices intended for specific applications, such as televisions or computer monitors. It is also possible to order them through catalogs and websites.
The enclosure bracket is intended to attach securely to the wall, usually with hardware such as screws. It can usually be installed with minimal building skills, although it is important to follow the instructions closely to ensure the assembly is assembled properly and securely. Once installed, objects can be hung from the mount or clipped to it. Some equipment intended for use in cubicles, such as whiteboards, may come with cubicle mounts in the box so that people don’t have to buy special accessories to install them.
Each cubicle support should have a rating, giving information about the dead weight it can safely support. In situations where multiple assemblies are intended to function as a system, the rating is for the entire system, not a single piece of hardware. Exceeding the rating or using live weight can create a safety issue as the mounts can fail and come loose from the cubicle wall.
Some offices have strict policies on how their cubicles can be used and what can be installed. Before setting up a cubicle, it is advisable to consult with the human resources department for information on company policies. Some companies may prefer to have their staff install devices on cubicle walls, for safety and liability reasons. Others may not object and may actively encourage their team to customize their workspaces in a way that feels familiar and comfortable.
When purchasing a cubicle mount, in addition to checking the rating, people should also check compatibility with the device they are planning to install in the mount. While many mounts are generic and can be used with many types of items, some cannot or may require special attachments. If wiring is to be run through the bracket, it is also important to ensure that there is room to run the wiring without trapping it to avoid issues such as crush damage to the wiring that can cause malfunctions.
