Metal Bookcases - General Information

GENERAL INFORMATION

Bookcases have been designed to optimally store standard threering binders on all shelves. Shelves are adjustable on 1" increments to accommodate other media storage needs. The units described on the following pages are to suit the most common storage requirements. 

CONSTRUCTION AND STANDARD FEATURES

Basic Shell: Shells are unique to bookcases, featuring a flush inner liner. The liner is punched to accept shelf brackets on 1" increments, starting approximately 8" from the bottom of the cabinet and terminating approximately 8" from the top of the cabinet. The liners, top and bottom reinforcements are welded into a rigid box frame. The shell is constructed from 18-and 20-gauge steel, with multiple strategically located offsets to maximize strength. The back is seamless. All corners are reinforced. Illustrated shell heights include ⅛" for adjustable glide in recessed position.

Shelves: Shelves are constructed using 22-gauge steel, formed ¾" thick on the leading and trailing edges to enhance strength.

Adjustable Glides: Bookcases are supplied with four adjustable glides. The glides can be adjusted from inside the bookcase using a ¼" hex socket wrench, or from outside the bookcase using a ⅞" wrench. Standard glides provide ¾" adjustment; longer glides are also available. Overall bookcase heights include the glide in its recessed position.

Paint Finishes: Storage products are chemically prepared prior to painting. This process enhances top coat bonding. Standard top coat finishes are primarily electrostatically applied powder and/or medium solids ALKYD baking enamel. Both the dry application powder coat and wet application enamel are fused and cured in a baking oven to provide a stain and scratch resistant surface. All inside and outside shell and shelf surfaces are painted with the same specified paint color.
