● Hang all the rail in a room if possible before proceeding to hang any verticals. The more you avoid switching to different tasks, the more efficient you will be. ● Do not measure from the floor again. Floors are often not level, which will result in 2 walls not meeting at the same point. Use a level to make a mark on an adjacent wall that is level with the mark that was measured on the first wall. ● There must be a screw either right behind a vertical or supporting it on the left & right sides. Failure to do so will result in the unit falling after a short period of time. If there is no stud available, then use either wall anchors or snap toggles (best!) to secure the rail (this method should be avoided whenever possible). ● Next, the verticals are hung on the rail ○ Prep the verticals first by installing rafix studs in the appropriate locations. Adjustable shelf pins should also be added at this point. It’s much easier to line all of this up when the verticals are leaning side-by-side against the wall. ○ Hang the verticals on the rail in approximately the correct location ○ Install top shelves (L to R or R to L) ○ Install mid shelves
○ Install any cleat unders ○ Install bottom shelves ● Once the wall is completely assembled, then move to the next wall of the closet.
● Work your way around the room until the room is complete, leaving all units unsecured until they are all installed. Sometimes, a missed obstruction or some other unforeseen condition will necessitate uninstalling some or all of the units. Therefore, it's best to do the minimal install until you're 100% sure everything will fit as designed before securing the installation further. ● Once all the walls in the room are installed and everything fits, check the room for plumb & gaps. ○ Standard gaps between verticals and walls are 1/8" ○ Installers should use their best judgement when examining and adjusting gaps. Some things to consider: ■ Is the gap visible? ■ Is the gap even? ■ Can I hide a larger gap in a corner so that a more visible gap looks nicer? ■ This is where the installer makes the installation look good. Use your judgement and make it beautiful. ● Once gaps look good and you're happy with how everything is situated, secure the installation to the wall using side screws and L-Brackets. Do your best to hide these installation artifacts. They are ugly. ○ Side screws ■ Side screws can be hidden in corners under a fixed shelf at the bottom
