This lady makes it look so easy and I’m over here covered in drywall dust and desperation 😔

Note to buyers: the Shelf Toggles on the back say "drill a .25" hole" instead of 1/2 inch hole. Be sure to use the 1/2 inch, not the .25 inch, or else the toggle will not fit! Learned this the hard way!

Great job! Been looking for a better garage storage system! I think I'm going to go with this on at least two walls! Thanks for sharing your project! 5:32

I like this Closet System...I installed 2 in my friends Apt. Rental...She didn't use a level the Hang Tracks? I used Blue Painters Tape to map out the inside closet wall to see how the closet system would look when complete...A second benefit is the ability to make marks on the Blue Painters Tape, then screwed the metal directly brackets directly over the tape, and remove the pieces most of them were invisible so i just left them hidden....good tutorial!

Loooooove this one! If you ever have to do more drilling through thick wood like that they have a bit called a hole saw which basically cuts out a cookie of wood! Blew my mind when I found out that exists. 😂 1:15

My advice when installing by the HangTrack is to hold up the HangTrack with a level and best guess your location, and mark your holes. Put the track and level down and punch through each with a very small bit. If the drill falls though, it’ll need a toggle bolt, so mark that hole with a “V”. Drill 1/2” holes where you marked Vs, install the bracket with the bolts, and tighten as you keep the bracket level and fine tune height. THEN drill your holes that will be in studs. Stud finders aren’t totally accurate, and this method keeps you level and drilling minimally.

Started small with re-doing my coat closet. A few minor miscalculations that had me exchanging racks but I’m happy

OMG I love this idea for my house

She makes it look so easy and it's not. The toggle bolts were a f'n pain in the ass. I did have 2 studs but they were not aligned with the pre drilled holes on the main hang bar, so I had to drill my own holes. I used 3/16 toggles with 3" screws. For those that said the screws just keep spinning...you have to pull the screw with your free hand while screwing it in. Pain in the ass...took me 4 hours.

Excellent video! I need these shelves to replace my shelves I have. My old shelves used for a pantry made of wood bent from the heavy weight of cans... I want to know if these shelves are sturdy enough for a huge pantry?

Thank you so much for sharing your video, now I know what to do. god bless you kind lady

Pretty simple thank you

Thank you lady , you made look so easy

I promise you people. It’s not this easy

A 36" shelf (2283) that comes with exactly 2 brackets can only be mounted on two standards. In order for each standard to be no more than 4" from the end, the spacing of the two standards must be at least 28" apart. According to this video, the maximum distance between standards can be no greater than 24". Now either the 36" shelf comes packaged with 1 less bracket than required to meet their mounting specifications, or their mounting specifications are not correct.

You know what sucks, when the directions instruct you to drill a 3/8 hole for the toggle anchor insertion and the youtube video uses a 1/2 drill bit. Closetmaid needs to fix their direction.

Wow she make me very happy i was worried about how to install ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Just put one up using this video. :) It looks nice!

I avoided the shelf track and toggle bolts altogether. Install the standards over studs directly (there is a stud ever 16" or 24") Reduce your cost and increase the strength.

This video is values making the job look easy over actually being instructional. If you install the drywall toggle like she does, your shelf will fall out the drywall as soon as you put weight on it. KZfaq "drywall toggle" for useful information on installing that type of drywall mount.

My order didn't include the hang track. How come?

Nice!! done and done!! 👏🏿

Just to be clear--if the studs are not 16 inches apart on center, and I anticipate a problem using the horizontal piece, I can simply use the vertical bars (hitting the studs), right??

Um thanks Megan for showing me how to install my closets

i wanna try it.. i must get from hardware shop rite...

I installed my wife's closetmaid with the screw nut wings amazinggggg 💪, but custom

I’m just trying to figure out why the hang tracks and shelving aren’t uniform lengths. Why do they sell a 72” shelf with an 80” hang track? That 8” of open hang track space drives me crazy. Why not make everything in uniform intervals of 12”? Why couldn’t they make the lengths 72” or 84”? The Rubbermaid FastTrack system does even 12” intervals but it’s literally double the price.

What is the load capacity of these shelves? I’m thinking of getting them for my closet pantry

I just put a large shelf in. Thank goodness there were multiple studs to drill into. 50% of the toggles never worked and just "spin and spin" on the other side of the dry wall. I saw another video which recommended not to use them. Now I see why. Long story short, my shelf won't be holding any heavy items with only 50% of the screws actually anchored to something... :-/

I took this shit my wife bought back to the store!

Hi, I just finished installing two 6 foot by 20 inch depth shelving units, purchased from Home Depot. I had been shopping around for some inexpensive shelving since I am a borderline Hoarder. I need to get my stuff off the floor in two rooms that I can no longer walk into. The choices were Closet Maid or this other brand. I selected Closet Maid because it was much more affordable for me. I installed two 6 by 20 inch shelves in two separate rooms. I used 5 vertical wall mount tracks on each, spacing them 18 inches apart. That made it safely within the required 24 maximum spacing, which was on the information display at Home Depot. The center Wall Mount tracks (or the 3rd track) was placed at 36 inches, half of the the 72 inches of the entire shelf unit (the 6 foot shelf). However, since these horizontal brackets that actually hold up the shelves are made of very thin metal tin, I'm concerned about how much weight these shelf's can hold? In all of the in-store information displays there is no listing of maximum weight restrictions. I even asked the store employee at Home Depot who is responsible for the shelving department at Home Depot. I asked him if placing the vertical brackets well within the 24 inch restriction; mine being 18 inches, could the shelf hold my entire weight across the shelf. I'm 185 pounds. He said, YES! But I noticed that these horizontal brackets are bendable by even my own hand strength? So can someone please tell me what the weight restrictions are? I am confident that the vertical wall tracks are not going to come off the walls. But I'm not so confident on these thin horizontal brackets can actually hold up the shelves if too much weight is placed on them. The other brand that I did look at as well seems to be made of higher quality metal and is much stronger. I now and uncertain if I made a mistake in purchasing Closet Maid for my particular needs. I have invested so far about $600 in these two rooms with Closet Maid. Thank you for your comments and information so I can be safe in using what I've already invested in and all the work to getting them installed. Rob

The instructions on your drywall mounting hardware say to drill a 0.25 hole. Please correct.

Would I be correct to say that once the hang tracks are installed, the rest of the closet system can be reconfigured or changed around at anytime? If do, I think I like this option best for my bedroom closet

I wish you could come and decorate my new house ❤️🥺

1:33 ? How did she add those standards? It seems like she just clipped them in

Is it a requirement to have to install the hang track? Or is it really just for leveling?

I like how easy it is to install but I don’t like it have gaps between both ends of the shelf and wall. It is a waste of space and stuffs tends to falls off.

Ima try this

This toggle bs is not working for me so now I have a big hole in my wall thanks Megan

The video says to drill 1 screw into the center of each standard, but the ClosetMaid hardware says to drill a screw into EVERY hole on each standard. So now I need more hardware. Back to the store...

So i just finished but half my toggles are loose. Any suggestions? Do i have to do this all over again and just do studs?

Easy. Unless you have to cut the 80" hang track from both ends. And the suggestion is to use a hack saw. So you can be hand sawing until the next day. How about Closetmaid show customers an example of cutting their products to size, because after all; it's about customization, right? And not just cutting the wire/ventilated racks with bolt cutters. Show a DEMO CUTTING the hang track and the verticals. Otherwise, the installation itself is very easy.

The manual was horrible. This video was awesome!

100% accurate

I need this installations

I'm getting one... thanks, closetmaid.....

These toggles absolutely suck. They all fell behind my wall as I tried to screw them in. Now I have 1/2 holes in my wall and no way to hang my shelf. YAAAY.

She first has the shelf with the lip up, and then the next part shows the lip down when she adds the pole hangers. Preference? I know that I have them in different ways, in different parts of the house.

In the video she is using 3/16 size toggles which requires a 1/2 drill bit for proper hole sizing. The screw length are 3" - ClosetMaid Part#2877

Thanks .

What if I cannot put it on any stud? Because of the size where I want to use it a cannot reach any stud..

Disculpa me pueden informar si en Colombia Bucaramanga las podría encontrar nesecito para tres paredes pero la quiero así como lo escribí en el comentario anterior 🙏

At 1:00 into the video, after toggles are pushed into the wall, the video says to tighten the bolts. So I now have 5 toggles inside my drywall, and the bolts DO NOT tighten into the toggles... am I missing something? For me, the bolt & toggles just spin endlessly, with no way of “grabbing” onto each other. So instead of a time-saving store bought shelf installation, I need to figure out how to fix this. Theres no way I can think of to get the toggles back out :0(

where i can buy this product ?

el.ranchero muylinda amor💜

At 1:33, she placed an extension onto the bottom of the standard; how did she do that? Did I miss something?

Is the hanging rack sturdy enough for heavy clothing?

what is it called, that they used @ 0:52 in the video ?

Thanks so much for showing how to install the super sliders, one of mines came off and I couldn't figure out how to put it back on🤦

Any ideas on how to organize a closet with a raised ridge in the middle of it? I wont be able to lay a bracket flat against the wall because of it.

We installed the system but now I want to redo the whole thing how do I remove all the studs etc without destorying the wall?

Great job but using a stud finder to drill over studs is dangerous as electronic stud finders often beep when over pipes and wires too. Never drill over studs but avoid.

Now I need to patch up all the holes the toggles made.. sigh

Perdón donde consigo eso lo nesecito así como el de las parrillas o rejillas largas tres así de largas de un metro o 1.50solo las tres res rejillas largas y de 20cmmts de ancho con intervalos de 25cm de alto ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ Nesecito así para colocarlo en mi casa

Why can't you install it in an opening bigger than 6 feet? You aren't attaching anything to the side walls. If your standard isn't on a stud putting the screw in makes no sense ,that's where you should you the toggle no?

Who is watching this in 2022

I wish they would tell you the weight capacity.

So, Home Depot didn’t tell me I needed a toggle thingy! Ugh back to HD I go

what kind of shelf is suitable for mounting an oven toaster on the wall?

I like this

How much of price

Where can I go to buy this stuff?

Since all the weight is on the hang track, I'm surprised ClosetMaid did not specify the size of toggle bolt one should use. Also, the CM video states that at least one track attachment should be into a stud. But is says nothing about what size screw should be used? The printed CM spec sheet also says nothing about the toggle bolt size. However, buried in the tiny type I found the recommendation that the screw be a #12 x 2" pan head.

Where we are going to get it.

how do you cut the hang track if you need to?

It actually takes longer to take the stickers off cleanly than to put up the whole system

@ClosetMaid or to anyone that can help. I am trying to purchase these kind of racks. What do I ask for at the store? What are they called?

Yeah I can’t do this 😭😭😭

Yo do not need the HangTrack, that is just BS to make you waste more money on a product which is already VERY EXPENSIVE for what it is. Just draw a level and put all top screws on that line. Also, you do not need that many standarts, 4 per closet is fine just make sure you attach all of them to the studs.

1:33 ????????????????????????????????????

Bruh…. How the fuck my toggle anchor is like 10 times bigger than hers?! Now im trying to make half inch hole with 3/8 and its a paaaaaain

how is she extending the standard?

How to get this closet

next notice your crap just falls though onto the floor and you can't slide hangers on a pole.

I want to Marry her

my closet it weird, so these videos don't help much lol. i have a small, square closet. 3'9.5" X 3'10" X 8'0" (L x W x H)

really good but where i can buy this material

I can’t hear it

The worst…you’ll end up hating the wire and wish for real shelving

it is nice ...

Home Depot

Y

This product sucks. It is not as easy to install as video says. End up making huge holes on my wall trying again and again

I want to marry u☺☺☺

This shit is freaking expensive

ClosetMaid, My last purchase will be my last purchase from this company. I’m here because instructions weren’t even included. At the very least 1 nut could have been included to make a hole big enough for the clamps. I’m so disappointed.

I hate videos like this! Explaining how to install an entire closet system from scratch in three minutes! There's not enough detail on any part of the instructions. I'll be looking for another video or two by an actual person who knows the challenges an actual person might face and explains everything in detail.

This video is terrible doesnt even tell you what screws they use. I had to make 2 trips. Should be sold all together
