Abstract: A system for mounting a component on a wall and the like includes inner and outer brackets adapted for attachment to the wall. Each bracket includes a leg positioned outwardly from the wall and an end. An upper and a lower bracket are provided for mounting a standard, and a pair of standards are provided for mounting the component. Each standard includes end plates with end flanges extending therefrom. The standard end flanges are adapted for placement between the bracket ends and the wall with the bracket ends captured between the standard faceplate and end flanges. The standards may be mounted on the wall in sets for juxtaposed mounting of standards and components. The lateral positioning of the standards on the brackets is adjustable for accommodating different components.
