Hanging Brackets for 1/2" and 3/4" MDO panels

Post by Mike Jackson »

Hi ALL,
I used to buy U-shaped hanging brackets for our MDO panels, but don't see any notes on where I purchased them.

The company advertised in SignCraft for a few years a long time ago.

Anyway, these brackets are about 3/4" wide straps, bent to a U shape. There are holes in the top for a chain connection and holes at the bottom in which I run a 1/4" bolt through.

Does anyone here know the name of the source?

Thanks in advance,
Mike Jackson

I contacted SignCraft and they found the old ad.

Quick Follow Up:
The little brackets are the same price of $1.50 each for hangers for 1/2" or 3/4" panels.

Mike,

Now that you mention it ....... we have some hangers you might be interested in. They have a tensile strength of about 1,500 lbs. each. Phone me to discuss price. http://www.angelgilding.com/glasshangers.asp

Mike, you can get them from Image 1 Impact (www.image1impact.com). 1-800-818-0222.

I was just at the Fort Worth Sign Business Show and Frankie had a bunch of brackets and stuff. He had exactly what we bought about 15 years ago, but I'm not sure if that's where we got that supply. Bought a box of 50 each (.5 and .75) and still haven't used up the box. At that time they were $1 a piece.

We get them from Product Sign Supply and they're the same product. I find it easy to get one size and pull them together or spread them. I also find that they rust ere on the coast and the zinc plating holds up less than a year. Local shops make them for us from stainless, and they work better.
