Anybody know where to buy those metal "keyhole" pieces that can be fixed to the wall side of a shelf. When installed, they permit a shelf to slide onto and be supported by a screw head protruding slightly from the wall surface. I'm not sure what the proper name is for these devices but hopefully you have the picture. Any help in locating a supplier would be appreciated.

The shelving would be approx 1" thick
And what are the shelves going to be used for?
The link I posted are nice supports as you fit the shelving into the slot push bottom piece up to clamp the shelf and tighten it with an allen key.
The grip is adjustable for various thickness of shelves.

Drill holes in the wall, fix lengths of steel studding with resin adhesive, slide on the shelf which has corresponding holes to take the studding.

They're not hidden though, are they?
Nope but they compliment the shelf and dont protrude that much.
