Can't install ClosetMaid - please help!
Comments (3)Boy, DID they have concrete in 1940! My apartment building was built in 1923, and it has plaster over wire lathe over concrete. Push a nail or your drill bit (off the drill--or at least unplug the drill) into the hole, and see how deep you can get it in--how does that compare with your anchors? Probably it'll be too short--HOW short? If it's only a teeny bit short, you'll need to drill INTO that masonry. Which means you will need a masonry bit. If it's more than 1/8 or 1/4 inch, you'll need to consider that masonry as the thing to anchor in--and masonry isn't very good at holding the sort of anchor that swells up. (and, is there enough room in the back for those two "wings" to spread out?) If you can't drill into that concrete with a plain masonry bit, AND you need to rely on that masonry to be the anchoring wall, you may need to use a Tapcon screw (for which you need, if I remember right, a Tapcon bit and Tapcon screws, avail. at Home Depot, and probably even a hammer drill (rentable, usually at Home Depot; I recruited my Uncle Mo to bring his). The hammer drill works exactly like a regular drill, but it makes a LOT of noise. But... I can't really see your wall, and I only know what *I* have gone through. You might post this over at Remodeling and at Home Repair. Good luck! (you'd have the same problem, times 6, if you tried to use the vertical standards anyway)...See MoreMounting Ikea Algot system questions
Comments (10)Hi folks. We just installed Algots throughout our whole house. The suspension rail is optional but very helpful. It has a small lip but supports a lot of weight. We followed some youtube advice and drilled additional holes in the suspension rail so they all landed on studs, then hung our verticals from the rail. The Algot system has three widths (15, 23, 32) so not likely that you would hit studs with all your verticals - without the suspension rail you're relying on drywall to hold the system. Having the suspension rail in the studs helped us feel secure. We followed this basic installation formula: 1. Measure studs, drill extra holes, hang suspension rail. 2. Hang verticals (do not attach to wall), and install shelves at the top and bottom of the system to square everything out. 3. Mark the holes for the verticals, then take everything down and attach anchors. 4. Screw the verticals into the anchors and install your shelves/rails/baskets. 5. Do a dance, you're done!

Comments (1)Where vertical space matters and/or we don't care about being able to slide the clothes hung up, we just don't use the rod brackets or rod (we just put the clothes hangers right on the 'shelf.') If you have the 12" deep shelves, you could change them out to the 16" deep shelving if you want more depth for hanging things (i.e., when not using the rod brackets.) (We use this exact ClosetMaid ShelfTrack system in all our closets - our master closet looks alot like your photos.)...See MoreHelp identifying closet system used for walk in closets
Comments (1)I too am trying to identify the customized closet systems in my new condo, so I can buy some additional shelves. I can't believe they don't put their name or logo somewhere ! I too have those oval hanging rods, but my shelves are on moveable pegs for support (thankfully)....See MoreRachel
