I am trying to locate brackets for a shelving system apparently called Atlas. The upright has single vertical slits. The brackets have two "hooks" and a screwing mechanism to tighten the bracket. Please let me know if you have seen these in a store or shop in the London or South East, or if you know the manufacturer.

Would the item be similar to the sketch below? (Remember, I am limited to straight lines). If so, try ACE Hardware first (ask for the catalog if it's not in stock). Otherwise try "knape & vogt" as a search string. One company that makes this type of standard and bracket is Knape & Vogt Mfg. Co. I don't know about "Atlas" marking.
The slots in the standard are 1" on center.
