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!
When installing the standards onto hollow wall, use 3/16" x 3" toggle bolts. The 3" bolts will be long enough for the toggle to catch the other side of the wall. It will make securing the standards a breeze.
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
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.
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!
The Tape Trick - I wish I'd heard this about 30 minutes ago..... but I'll keep it for the future. You - deserve to win the ENTIRE Internet for this idea! Or a Nobel Prize! BRILLIANT!
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?
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.
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.
I was wondering how the heck I was supposed to tighten the screws! I though about doing this and came to the comments to see if anyone else tried first lol
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. CZcams "drywall toggle" for useful information on installing that type of drywall mount.
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??
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.
@@ricknelms Why emphasize that you don't actually need something if you are just going to make money off it lol. This was designed for closets that the studs just landed in the wrong spot and you need some sort option to spread out the weight.
I agree with eliminating the shelf track, except that if you use the shelf track, you only have to level that one piece. The standards all hang off of that leveled piece and your shelves will all be level. If you don’t use the shelf track, each standard has to be level and inline with the others. You can do it, but you have to be careful.
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
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... :-/
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 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.
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.
@@emcallah @Diane Marcus The issue with toggle bolts is that the toggle is just spinning behind the drywall. You have to apply some pressure on the track for the toggle to "Catch." Pull hard on the track or slip a thin pry bar behind the track to apply pressure as you continue to screw the bolts in. This video might make my comments make more sense. czcams.com/video/h4xRJmCPCDs/video.html
+Vanessa Srikantham I laughed out loud when I saw this comment. I just noticed the same thing an hour ago. No way your getting a 3/16 " toggle bolt through a 1/4 " hole. It should be 0.50 (1/2 " ).
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 🙏
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.
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(
Hey! I had the same problem and I just put mine up, I pulled the track away from the wall to put pressure on the toggles and used my drill to make my life easy and screw the bolts in! I hope this helps
@@chalemasters3511 You must know how to use toggles! After poking them through the wall, pull back on them until the "wings" on the other side hit the wall . . . THEN start tightening the screw!
@@jimsterling9357 can you be any more.specific? I don't think the toggles are supposed to go all the way through to the other side of the wall. The 'wings' or 'flaps' are supposed to be inside the confines of the thickness of the drywall. If it goes all the way through there's no way to tighten.
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.
Dancing Big Guy if you know how long you want each shelf, purchase the long shelf and Home Depot and Lowes will measure and cut for you for no charge. Just be sure to purchase the end caps for the raw edges. The "young" "muscless" lady at Home depot cut my 8ft rack making me 2 3ft racks and one 2ft rack. No hack saw needed. She used an electric clipper. Excellent video.
I cut down a 40 inch hang track to 36 inches taking two inches off each side. It really isn't that bad, I used a cheap plastic miter box screwed into my cheapo work bench and clamped the hang track to the box and went at it with the hacksaw. If anything it was actually easier than cutting down the 16 or 20 inch shelving units! I had them cut at the store but needed to take a couple inches off of a few and that was more of a pain in the butt holding those down.
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...
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.
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?

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.
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.
You can purchase our ShelfTrack Kits on our site at www.closetmaid.com. We also offer a free easy-to-use design tool where you can custom design your closet. You will also find our ShelfTrack system nationwide at The Home Depot.
More than likely you will find the product named ShelfTrack at your local Home Depot or other retailers. You can search for the product on our website www.closetmaid.com and choose where to buy. It's Adjustable Hardware under Closet Storage & Accessories on our site. You will need a Hang track, Vertical Standards and Wire shelving and applicable hardware depending on your wall type. Wire Shelving is available in different types. What you are seeing here is the SuperSlide Shelf.
Hello, we have a hardware Standard Extender. It is sold separately or included in many of our kits. The item number is 281900 (white); you can find it here online - closetmaid.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/closetmaid-us/standardextender.
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.
So took me about 3-4 hrs lol; the holes are almost size of your hand and make your upcoming closet floor look like coke party is about to bust😂 marking the holes in standards is impossible with regular pencils/pens BUT old school liquid eyeliner saved the day. If i ever clean up the dust i will have bangin closet tho LOL.
Yea, I raised an eyebrow as well...Just using a screw into drywall, that won't hold, needs to be a drywall anchor or screwed into a stud, poor job on their part.
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.

My toggle bolts are not quite fitting through the 1/2" hole, does it need to be forced through?

Um thanks Megan for showing me how to install my closets
I installed my wife's closetmaid with the screw nut wings amazinggggg 💪, but custom
I promise you people. It’s not this easy
it really isn't. how did yours go? did you screw in all the holes on the standard, or did you just do the top and bottom?

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...
The manual was horrible. This video was awesome!
what is it called, that they used @ 0:52 in the video ?
A toggle bolt. The hardware is available on our website or at your local hardware store.
I need this installations
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.

Watching in 2024
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?
How much of price
Is the hanging rack sturdy enough for heavy clothing?
Yes, sorry for our delay. If you mount the hang track into studs it can hold heavy clothing.
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?
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🤦

Disculpa en Bucaramanga Colombia se consigue me podría decir el local
what kind of shelf is suitable for mounting an oven toaster on the wall?
Tanushree Menon I would suggest strong wire shelving, like in the video
LexiLooo thank you
Where we are going to get it.
I wish they would tell you the weight capacity.
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.
What do you mean by drill *over*? What do you mean by the "over" part? You mean don't drill *into* studs???
Now I need to patch up all the holes the toggles made.. sigh
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.
So, Home Depot didn’t tell me I needed a toggle thingy! Ugh back to HD I go
That's their actual slogan: "You'll be back!"
I like this
Where can I go to buy this stuff?
You can purchase our ShelfTrack Kits on our site at www.closetmaid.com. We also offer a free easy-to-use design tool where you can custom design your closet. You will also find our ShelfTrack system nationwide at The Home Depot.
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?
More than likely you will find the product named ShelfTrack at your local Home Depot or other retailers. You can search for the product on our website www.closetmaid.com and choose where to buy. It's Adjustable Hardware under Closet Storage & Accessories on our site. You will need a Hang track, Vertical Standards and Wire shelving and applicable hardware depending on your wall type. Wire Shelving is available in different types. What you are seeing here is the SuperSlide Shelf.
ClosetMaid Thank you!
how do you cut the hang track if you need to?
table knife+luck+patient
Maybe.
Amanda just use a small hand saw.
Did the hang tracks come with the rest of the order or did you purchased separately?
how is she extending the standard?
Hello, we have a hardware Standard Extender. It is sold separately or included in many of our kits. The item number is 281900 (white); you can find it here online - closetmaid.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/closetmaid-us/standardextender.
next notice your crap just falls though onto the floor and you can't slide hangers on a pole.
How to get this closet
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.
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)
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
So took me about 3-4 hrs lol; the holes are almost size of your hand and make your upcoming closet floor look like coke party is about to bust😂 marking the holes in standards is impossible with regular pencils/pens BUT old school liquid eyeliner saved the day. If i ever clean up the dust i will have bangin closet tho LOL.
Yeah I can’t do this 😭😭😭
1:33 ????????????????????????????????????
They used a standard connector to connect the two bars.
Yea, I raised an eyebrow as well...Just using a screw into drywall, that won't hold, needs to be a drywall anchor or screwed into a stud, poor job on their part.
I want to Marry her
Home Depot
really good but where i can buy this material
Thank you; ShelfTrack® is available nationwide at The Home Depot or on homedepot.com or on closetmaid.com.

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
it is nice ...
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
Who is watching this in 2022
