Vandal Resistant 4” Deep Utility Shelf

The AA-VRS Series is a premium-grade utility shelf collection designed for secure wall storage in high-risk, high-traffic environments. These shelves are fabricated from 12-gauge or 16-gauge 304L stainless steel with TIG-welded seams and a corrosion-resistant Satin #4 finish. With a depth of 4 inches, they offer just the right amount of storage space without protruding into walkways — making them ideal for correctional facilities, medical clinics, transit stations, and other commercial or institutional settings.

Mounting Guidance:

Mount using 3/8” stainless steel anchoring bolts (not included). Use ¾” or greater back bracing for optimal support. For drywall or partition walls, use T-nuts or heavy-duty anchors. Through-bolting is recommended for maximum strength in public-use areas.

Warranty:

All 12-gauge models include a 10-Year Vandalism Warranty. If the shelf is damaged due to vandalism and was properly installed, we will repair or replace it — unmatched support for institutional-grade hardware.

Competitor Comparison:

Many commercial shelves use thin stainless or aluminum that bends under load or fails under abuse. The AA-VRS Series offers 12-gauge strength, TIG welds, and institutional-grade mounting for unmatched durability. Unlike competitors, our product includes a 10-year warranty and Made in USA quality assurance.

Due to increased demand, more time be required for production. If you have a critical delivery date requirement, please call or email to verify lead times prior to placing an order.

Stocked Items

For certain items that we sell often, we do our best to either keep inventory on the shelf or keep a constant production cue going. For items that are considered "stocked" we will generally be able to ship within 5 business days or less.

Why Are Stocked Items More Expensive?

We're adapting to your needs! While we specialize in made-to-order products, we recognize the growing demand for immediate availability. Adjusting to this requires foresight in demand anticipation, material procurement, initiating stock production, and warehousing—all incurring additional costs. Consequently, our stocked items are priced to reflect these overheads. For customers who can accommodate a production lead time, we're pleased to offer discounted pricing as a thank you for your flexibility.

Credit Card orders will be charged at the time of checkout. If you wish to be billed when your order ships, you can use the "Pay by Purchase Order" option on the payment section of checkout. You will be asked to upload a PDF copy of your Purchase Order along with a reseller certificate of tax exempt status is applicable. We will invoice you once your order has been shipped.
