I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'grins' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'supporters' is the second definition.

'at' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beams that I've seen before include "Rays of light" , "Smiles broadly or sunnily" , "Shines" , "Smiles; joists" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
