Wire Closet Organizer: How To Install Step By Step

Even the most disorganized closet space can be transformed with just a little planning

and effort on your part, so you can easily find your clothing or other items. All it takes is a wire closet organizer and following these steps to install them.

First you want to remove everything from the closet space you want to install your wire closet organizer in. And I mean everything, including any old shelves, rods, doors, clothing, etc. And if you really want to make a change you can use this time to get rid of things you will never use again.

Next, using spackling and a putty knife fill in any dents or old shelving holes left behind. You need to let the spackling dry thoroughly before sanding the space smooth. Then you want to apply a new coat of paint to the entire space. This will really make the wire closet organizer look nice!

Then you want to mark the wall. Mark the wall 2 inches down from the ceiling, you want to make the line level where you intend to place the hanging tracks of the wire closet organizer. Holding the hanging track against the line, mark the wall for drilling.

Hang the tracks. Using the drill marks as your guide, begin to install the hanging tracks of the wire closet organizer. As a general rule, mount the tracks every 24" or so; however, if they'll be supporting a lot of weight, space them closer together.

Install the shelves of your new wire closet organizer. Going from the bottom up, choose the space between the floor and the bottom shelf and then continue installing the shelves at intervals appropriate for what you intend to store in the closet.

When the shelves are in place you can then install a hanging rod. Once you get all your shelves in place where you want them, you can snap in the hanger supports and install the rod.

Try to mount the tracks in a wall stud whenever possible for greater load bearing. And if necessary mount with toggle bolts to reinforce the hanging tracks.
