INTRODUCTION
MasterSuite®requires a host of carpentry tools. If you also install wire or other products, we highly recommend
that upon launching your MasterSuite®program you outfit your installation trucks with a separate area and/or
toolbox for installation of laminate material. Considerable time can be saved when you have the right tools at
hand. If an essential tool is left behind at the shop, you lose valuable time when your installer has to drive back
and forth to pick up the forgotten item. If necessary, prepare checklists for the installers to use before they leave
the shop to ensure they have all the appropriate tools in the truck.
Below is a recommended list of the high quality tools needed for completing installation of MasterSuite®
systems. (Note: Not all tools will be needed for every installation!) Whenever possible use cordless, battery-
operated power tools. Inexpensive or poor quality tools may result in longer installation times and significantly
diminish the quality of your installation. Invest in quality tools.

Working with Different Wall Types
The key to ensuring your MasterSuite®closet is safely and adequately fastened to the walls is using the correct fasteners
for the job. Different wall types require different fasteners due to the weight and engineering of this system. The chart
below lists the various walls types commonly found in detached homes and high rise apartments, as well as the various
fasteners we recommend you use in installation of this product.
In addition to having a familiarity with various wall types, it is also necessary to be aware of potential obstacles located
within the closet walls. Your closet walls may contain plumbing pipes, ventilation ducts, pocket doors, wall safes and other
hazards. Drilling a hole or screw into any one of these obstacles can be costly and/or dangerous. We strongly urge you to
thoroughly examine the walls to which you will be fastening the closet system and/or query the homeowner, if available,
on potential hazards before you begin installation.

Back Panels
Back Panel Tips:
• Back panel installation requires advanced, experienced
carpentry skills.
• Backs panels are only designed for floor-mount installation and
should always be used in conjunction with toe kicks or base molding.
• We’ll remind you to carefully plan the number of cuts and the
number of pieces required for any given back panel design. You
must consider a minor waste factor for lengths you cannot use, and
you must consider seaming. Measure twice and cut once.
• The seam created between back panels should always be hidden
behind an upright shelf panel.
• It is essential that your saw blade is maintained in excellent
condition to prevent or reduce chipping or ragged edges on cuts.
Always make a test cut on scrap material first to ensure you’ll get a
clean cut.
• As per all MasterSuite®installation, begin installation in the highest
and furthest point in the closet. It is best to begin in a corner.
• Remove closet base board prior to installation.
• Installing the back panels throughout the panel installation (as
opposed to installing ALL back panels to the wall first) will prevent
major shifts from uneven floors.
Back Panel Cutting Guide
Please note: The levelness of a floor may affect the necessary height
of the back panel. Always measure the space

1. Measure width of shelf and mark your first back panel according to the cutting guide.
2. Using a table saw with 80-teeth or 96-teeth blade, cut back panel to necessary size.
3. Position your back panel on the floor and against the wall, leaving 3/8 in. gap between back panel and wall to
account for unsquared walls. (See FIG. 1) Add shims, if necessary, to level the back panel.
4. Secure back panel using a nail gun and 23-gauge headless pin nails. Nails should be fastened around the
perimeter of the back panel and into studs when possible. For any width greater than 30 in., nails should be
secured through the center of the back panel, consider the shelving design and align nails to be behind shelves
when possible. (See FIG. 2)
5. Cut second panel to size and position next to the first panel. (See FIG. 3) Level as necessary.
6. Install first tower or corner tower as explained in the Tower Systems section.
7. Repeat measuring, cutting, and fastening steps for each additional back panel in conjunction with the Tower
System installation. Back panels should always be installed one section further than the upright panel.
8. For exposed end configurations, installation is not complete until scribe molding is fastened to the back side
of the exposed end(s). Installation of scribe molding should be completed after the base molding is installed
when applicable.
9. Measure from the top of the upright panel to the floor (or to the top of the base molding). Mark length on
scribe molding and cut to size using a miter saw.
10. Fasten scribe molding to the back side of the exposed end(s) by inserting nails with a nail gun every 12 in.
between the top to bottom of the upright panel.

Stand Alone Tower
PREPARATION
Screw-In Studs or Double-Sided Studs?
Use screw-in studs only in partitions positioned on the end or in
corners. For stand-alone towers, screw-in-studs will typically be used.
Thread screw-in studs into partition holes until the stop ring is snug
with the partition face.
Use double-sided studs for contiguous closet sections in which you
need to have two fixed shelves fastened to either side of the same
system hole. For example, you must use double-sided studs for
neighboring fixed shelves of adjacent double hang sections. For Tower
System or Hanging System, a mix of screw-in studs and double-sided
studs may be used.
1. Lay down both tower side panels (partitions) face up on the
cardboard or cloth with the notched ends at the bottom facing in.
(See FIG. 1) Use a screwdriver to thread six (6) screw-in studs into
each side panel. Two (2) screw-in-studs will go into top holes, two
(2) screw-in-studs will go into holes located 43 in. down from top,
and two (2) screw-in studs will be above the baseboard notch (5th
hole from the bottom of the panel).
NOTE: Depending upon the design, the use of screw-in-studs may be
interchangeable with double-sided studs for contiguous sections or adjacent
towers. Use appropriate fastener for the design.
2. Align dowels in one end of cleat with holes in top of left panel as
shown. Push cleat dowels into holes. (See FIG. 2)
NOTE: For towers with drawers or baskets, it is optional to fasten the
slide runners on each of the side panel either before full assembly, lying on
the floor, or after standing up the tower. (See “Drawer” in “DRAWER AND
DOOR ASSEMBLY” section for detailed instructions on runner location and
installation.)
3. Turn panel over onto its back edge. Use one (1) HiLow Screw
through hole in side panel. See FIG. 3A Line up two of the cam
locks of the top fixed shelf over the screw-in studs and push down
over the cams to fasten. Tighten the joint by turning each of the
cam locks a full 180˚ clockwise with a Phillips head screwdriver.
See FIG. 3B Next, fasten the bottom fixed shelf. See FIG. 3C
Finally, attach the middle fixed shelf. See FIG. 3D

NOTE: Omit bottom shelf if appropriate to the design or for double-hang section.
NOTE: The location of the middle shelf may vary if you plan different door or drawer combinations in this tower, or for taller
towers, or for non-standard double-hang height sections. For best results, measure the height of the clothes to hang in the bottom
half of the double hang to ensure they will fit.
NOTE: It may be difficult to screw in cleats while the tower panels are lying on the floor. You may wish to complete fastening of
cleats once you stand up the tower.
4. To use the cleat as a toekick, remove the four dowels from the cleat. Fasten the cleat in the toekick position
using one HiLow screw through each side panel. (See FIG. 4) (See “Toe Kick Installation” instructions for
further details on contiguous panel toekick installation.)
5. Attach the remaining side panel to the cammed shelves and cleats or toe kicks following steps 3-5, as
necessary. (See FIG. 5) If preferred, gently rollover the tower onto either side panel in order to complete
fastening of various screws and studs into each panel.
6. Stand up the tower. Add fast caps to any exposed screw heads. Place the tower in its final location in the
closet. Watch for overhead obstacles while maneuvering tower into place.
7. Level tower system, adding shims, if necessary, to one or more partitions.
8. Attach fast caps to any exposed screw heads.
• Fasten the tower to the closet’s wall with appropriate wall screws through the upper cleat. (See “Working
with Different Wall Types” for details.) (See FIG. 6)
9. After securing all parts and tightening cleat screws, install the remaining accessories (doors, drawers, shoe
fences, sliding racks, etc.).

3. Measure from a corner of the closet wall to the center of the
first stud. Next, measure the same distance (e.g. 8-1/2 in.) from
the end of the rail. If the measured distance does not fall exactly
on a rail hole (See FIG. 3), you must trim the end of the rail the
length necessary to ensure the holes align with the wall studs.
(Holes are pre-drilled on 1 in. centers along the length of the rail.
Studs should fall on 16 in. or 24 in. centers.) Use a hacksaw and
file to cut and de-burr a length of rail as necessary.

PARTS
PREPARATION
Installation of a MasterSuite Hanging System and related sections
requires skill and familiarity with the installation of the floor-
mounted shelf tower and its related components.
The rail-mounted hanging closet system relies upon correct
anchoring of the rail to the wall supports, proper cleat assembly, and
mounting of the brackets to the partitions to bear the considerable
weight of the system. Accurate fastening of these components is
essential to ensuring the system is safely and permanently secured.
We also recommend that any panel that is adjacent to a side wall be
secured to that side wall at a stud location.
• Ensure the hanging vertical partitions do not require trimming
to fit above the closet’s baseboard. Ensure the closet height is
sufficient to accommodate use of your screw gun to install the
top shelf if the design uses a continuous top shelf piece. You may
need to shorten, or notch the partitions to fit above, or around,
the baseboard.
• Mount all left and right suspension brackets to the hanging
partitions prior to system installation using two (2) #8 x 5/8 in.
screws through the bracket into the pre-drilled bracket holes
on the partition. Snap on Fast Caps to the opposite side of the
partition over the exposed bracket holes. (See FIG. 1)
• Mount all drawer and basket runners, if desired, prior to hanging
partitions on the rail. (See “Drawer” or “Basket” assembly
sections for instructions regarding runner installation.)

4. Fasten the rail to the wall with a Zip Toggle Bolt wherever a partition will be hung that is more than 4 in. to the
left or right from the center of a stud. See FIG. 4
5. Positioning the bottom of the rail flush to the drawn line, fasten the rail to every stud using one #10 x 2 in.
Washer Hex Head Screw per stud. (Use Tapcons for concrete and cinder block walls. Use Zip Toggle Bolts for
stud-less walls.) THE RAIL MUST BE ANCHORED A MINIMUM OF EVERY 16 in. ALONG ITS LENGTH AND
NO MORE THAN 4 in. FROM ANCHOR TO PARTITION.
6. Trim the plastic rail cover to fit, and snap it over the length of the rail.
NOTE: If rail is to be longer than 8 feet, seam the rail cover directly behind a partition to ensure a smooth visible surface.
7. Hang the vertical partitions in their final positions from the suspension brackets on the rail. Secure any
partitions that are adjacent to a side-wall through a stud. (See “Working with Different Wall Types” for
appropriate wall hardware.)
8. Fasten all screw-in or double-sided studs into the system holes for the fixed shelves. (See FIG. 5) Thread
screw-in studs into partition holes until the stop ring is snug with the partition face. (See “Drawer” in “Drawer
and Door Assembly” section for locations of fixed shelves above, below and between banks of drawers.)
NOTE: Use screw-in studs only in partitions positioned on the end or in corners. Use double sided studs for contiguous closet
sections in which you need to have two fixed shelves fastened to either side of the same system hole. For example, you must use
double-sided studs for neighboring fixed shelves of adjacent double hang sections.
9. Working from one corner across the wall (left or right), seat the fixed shelves’ cam locks, for the end section
only (See FIG. 5a) over the screw-in studs’ heads and tighten each cam lock clockwise with a Phillips head
screw-driver until secure.
10. After fastening all fixed shelves in the end section, measure the length of the fixed shelf (e.g. 24 in.) between
the top of the corner partition and the adjacent partition. See FIG. 5b If necessary, tap the adjacent
partition along the top with your hand to adjust its position on the rail to meet this measurement.
• We strongly recommend that you secure a cleat to the center tower of every three (3) towers. To do so,
push dowel cleats into holes in left and right center partitions and secure cleat to each panel using a HiLow
screw. (See FIG. 5c) Secure cleat to back wall with two (2) wall screws (see “Working with Different
Wall Types”).
11. Level both end section partitions using a 4 foot level.
NOTE: Corner walls may not be level in comparison to the end partition.) Adjust partition plumbness (level) using the set screw on
the bottom of each suspension bracket. (See Fig. 6)
12. Repeats steps 9-12 for each section working to the left or right along the wall.
13. If the design uses a continuous top shelf (instead of cammed top shelving), after leveling the sections,
measure, cut and position the long, top shelf. (NOTE: This step is the one exception to the “Order of Assembly.”
For floor-mounted laminate systems, the continuous top shelf occurs after installation of all doors, drawers
and angled wall towers. See “Top Shelf and Pole” in “Shelving/Tower Assembly” section for details regarding
top shelf installation.)

Hanging Tower System
SHELVING/TOWER ASSEMBLY
14. Before securing a continuous top shelf to each partition, adjust the distance of the partitions from the back
wall by tightening or loosening the Distance Screws. See FIG. 6 (This step ensures the partition front edges
are positioned flush with the front edge of the top shelf.)
NOTE: The end screw adjusts the bracket/partition’s closeness to the wall (accommodating concave or convex drywall shapes),
and the bottom screw adjusts the bracket/partition’s plumbness to the wall, tilting the partition to or from plumb.
15. After making any final adjustments to the brackets’/partitions’ distance, fasten the top shelf to the top of each
partition using two (2) #8 x 1-1/4 in. screws.
16. Secure each vertical partition by fastening an angle (corner) bracket under each partition using #8 x 1-1/4 in.
screws through the bracket into an Easy Anchor in the wall (or, w/o Easy Anchor, into the stud). Then, fasten

PREPARATION
These instructions apply to corner towers using shelves or hanging.
Please note that corner towers using the radius hanging bar should be
matched with the large radius fixed cam corner shelves. The regular
cam and adjustable corner shelves do not match the radius curve of
the hanging bar. Further, use of either radius fixed corner shelf at the
top of the tower will not match with the continuous top shelf material,
so it is not recommended to use a cammed top shelf IF you will also be
installing continuous top shelf material.
• In most cases, corner towers should be assembled and installed
in the closet before installing other towers and hanging sections
along the walls.
• When one or more corner towers have been installed, you may
continue regular installation of adjoining hanging and shelving
sections.
• You may not install corner towers using the rail hanging
MasterSuite system.
• We recommend cutting one (or more) 30 in. cleat(s) to support
and square one side of the corner tower section. Prior to assembly,
cut a 30 in. shelf tower cleat to 29-3/8 in. wide and drill out dowel
(8mm) and HiLow Screw (4 mm) holes.
See FIG. 1
SHELVING/TOWER ASSEMBLY
INSTALLATION
1. Lay the side panels down on the floor and fasten two of them
together with your trimmed 29-3/8 in. cleat and two (2) corner
shelves, creating a 30-5/8 in. wide tower. Secure cleat with one
HiLow Screw through each side panel. Stand the tower up and
place it in the corner. (See FIG. 2)
NOTE: Always position the partition cut-out in L-shaped shelf on the
right side, as shown in the illustration. Do NOT position fixed shelves
closer than 28 in. from one another.
2. Add the third partition panel to the open end, (FIG. 3) and fasten
it to the shelves by tightening all the cam locks in place.
3. Plumb and level the tower. Add shims, if necessary. Screw the
leveled corner tower to the wall studs using 2- 3/8 in. screws
with cover caps through each of the cleats, as well as through the
partition installed flush to the wall. Ensure the tower is adequately
secured to corner wall studs or nearest studs thereto.

4. Add adjustable shelves (6 shelf pins per shelf) or hanging
bars as desired. (See “Top Shelf and Pole” in “Shelving/
Tower Assembly” section for additional instructions.)
• Continue with installation of other towers. You may
not install corner towers using the rail hanging
MasterSuite system.
• We recommend cutting one (or more) 30 in. cleat(s) to
support and square one side of the corner tower section.
Prior to assembly, cut a 30 in. shelf tower cleat to 29-3/8
in. wide and drill out dowel (8mm) and HiLow Screw (4
mm) holes. See FIG. 1

Angled Wall Tower
SHELVING/TOWER ASSEMBLY
INSTALLATION
45˚ ANGLE WALL
1. Cut the 135˚ angle “wedge” to support the first partition on the
angled wall. Using scrap 14 in. top shelving or other material,
measure 14 in. along the long edge to “A”. Mark a line across the
shelf using a square, making a square box (Fig. 1A). Next draw a
diagonal line bisecting the 14 in. square from corner to corner.
Measure and mark 14 in. from the board corner along the diagonal
at “B”. Draw a line connecting “B” to corner “C”.
(FIG. 1C)
2. Cut the 135˚ triangle wedge from the board. (See FIG. 1)
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to create a second wedge. You need two (2)
triangles for each angled corner to fit between two (2) adjacent
angled partitions.
4. Secure one wedge to the upper portion of the partition 14 in.
down from the top and one to the lower portion of the partition
(14 in. from the bottom). Fasten each wedge to the partition
PREPARATION
If your closet has one or more angled walls, the angled wall is likely
positioned at a 45˚ angle to the adjacent “square” wall(s), creating
a 135˚ angle instead of the standard 90˚ perpendicular wall. These
instructions provide assistance in the installation of adjacent towers
on these angled walls. If the angled wall is greater or less than 135˚
to the square wall, similar steps can be taken for installation, with
minor adjustments for the different angles. See second half of these
instructions.
These instructions do not apply to rail-hung shelf towers. We do not
recommend attempting to connect nearly seamless, continuous top
shelving on angled walls with hanging towers.
Install all the other shelving towers and hanging sections on “square”
walls first. Then begin positioning partitions for towers on adjacent
angled walls. Before cutting final pole, shelf and cleat lengths for
systems on walls adjacent to angled walls, ensure you fully
understand the positioning, measuring and cutting order to
complete this installation. DESCRIPTION
