Aurora Quik-Lok Shelving
Patented back in 1961, Aurora Quik-Lok Shelving was a brand new concept in the world of shelving. Not only was Aurora Quik-Lok Shelving strong but it was assembled with only a rubber mallet. Nuts and bolts were replaced with easy to install shelf supports. Many users choose to install the shelving themselves and all users are able to reconfigure shelf spacing without the need of a service technician.
The installation process is very simple as referenced below.
There are three main components to Aurora Quik-Lok Shelving, uprights,
shelf supports and shelves. Uprights make up the sides of a section of
shelving, two shelf supports per level (one in front and one in back)
lock into key holes on the uprights with a rubber mallet and shelves are
placed on top of the shelf supports.
