• Please refer to the instruction sheet provided in the product package for the specics on
required & recommended tools and the assembling the products.
• Take an inventory of the parts for the products purchased to insure you have everything
you need for the installation.
• Pre-plan the placement of the towers and closet rods in your cleaned out closet.
• The recommended depth for reach-in closets is 30 in.
• The closet Door location is important when designing your closet. In most circumstances
you will want to place your tower in front of the closet door for ease of access.
• The height of most towers is 82 in. to 83 in. You will want to keep this in mind if you intend
on installing doors in the towers. Although the closet itself may be tall enough to t in the
towers, the doors may hit the front of the closet if the front wall is lower than the tower.
• It is not recommended to install drawers in the upper unit of the tower, as the height of the
drawer may prevent you from seeing what is inside the drawer.
• Be aware of locations of pocket doors when installing the closet products. Install products
so that the hardware does not inhibit the operation of the pocket door and slide.
