Abstract
A slat wall bracket device includes a bracket wall and an arm coupled to an end of the bracket wall. The arm projects perpendicular from the end of the bracket wall. A jaw is coupled to the bracket wall. The jaw is spaced from the arm, aligned linearly with the arm, movable from a first position to a second position, and configured to secure a first wall slat between a surface of the jaw and a surface of the arm with the jaw in the second position. A hook projects outward from a front surface of the bracket wall.
