What are these brackets called?

[Psyclist]

I need a few brackets for building a brace on the back of some double doors in one of our outbuildings but I'm struggling to find the kind of bracket I need for it online.

I need a bracket that's kind of S-shaped, but if you understand what I mean will have a flat section that will screw on to the door, then come out enough to hold a 2" piece of timber, then go up again to hold the timber in place. Does that make sense?

Similar to this, only bigger, one piece and the other way around...

I think these are what you need although you would need to cut the top off them and drill a second fixing hole to the bottom part. This would work but may weaken the effect somewhat. You could also just be able to have a few custom made by a local metalworker for a small fee.

They are two sets of two unistrut angle brackets bolted together.

Have a look at the unistrut catalogue here

Sorry I maybe should have been more clear, I don't want to know what the brackets in picture actually are, I just need something like that which could hold a piece of 4x2 in place across the door. Thanks anyway.

Blacksmith you reckon?

I think it would be called something like a "stepped bracket". You want it to go up the door then out 2" or so and then up again.
I wondered whether a U-shaped bracket would work for your application (ie down-out-up)?

Yeah I thought about that too. The only problem I saw with that was being able to screw big screws in. Because of the shape, they would have to go in on an angle, but whatever, I'll ask about them.

Thank you!

I alwasy thought they were called Z brackets.

They are seperate items. Any angle bracket can do this or two bits of angle drilled as needed.
Or make it all from the timber, even more solid.
