Notches
Tools needed: drill, screwdriver, level and pencil
TIP
Top Tracks have a top and a bottom. The “TOP” is designated on the label
and has two notches to allow Hanging Standards to be inserted properly.
Install The Top Track
• Position the Top Track where you want to mount it. Use a level to
ensure it is straight, and mark the screw holes.
• For longer Top Tracks, drill the center hole. Secure with one screw.
Tighten the screw enough to hold the Top Track against the wall while
leveling and marking the rest of the holes.
• Drill all marked holes with a 1/8" drill bit the length of the drill bit. If
you are mounting into 1/2" drywall (most common wall type) and
do not hit a stud, enlarge those holes with a 3/8" drill bit. Insert
anchors, remove the screw, and tap anchor flush with drywall.
• Place the Top Track on the wall, and insert and tighten all the screws
using a power drill with a #2 Phillips head bit. In order for the wall
anchors to be secure, it is important to HAND tighten the screw until it
stops turning.
Install The Hanging Standards
and Shelf Brackets
• Insert the Hanging Standards in the Top Track notches.
Group Hanging Standards together and insert Brackets at the
appropriate height for shelf placement.
• Slide the Hanging Standards to the approximate position on the Top
Track. Hanging Standards should be a minimum of ½" from the ends
of the Top Track.

Install Ventilated Shelves
• Place the Shelf wires over the Shelf Bracket notches. Install the
Shelf with end wires inside the Brackets. Lock the Shelf into place by
pressing down on the middle of the Shelf and pushing toward the wall.
NOTE: If installing two Ventilated Shelves side-by-side to create
one 4' Shelf, the two Shelves will share the middle Shelf Bracket.
Install Closet Rods
• Insert the Closet Rod Holder into the slot in the bottom of the
Ventilated Shelf Bracket.
• Tap the End Caps into both ends of the Closet Rod. Snap the
Closet Rod into the Closet Rod Holder. If installing Closet Rods that
share a Closet Rod Holder, only tap End Caps into the non-joined
ends of each Closet Rod.
Install the Bracket Covers
• Left and Right Bracket Covers are not interchangeable. Place the
outer edge of the Bracket Cover over the outer edge of the Ventilated
Shelf Bracket. Push down from the back to the front to snap the
Bracket Cover in place.
Install Top Track Cover
• Start with the long pieces first. Place the bottom of the Top Track
Cover into the bottom of the Top Track, then ease the top of the Top
Track Cover into the top of the Top Track. For smaller areas, measure
and cut the Top Track Cover with scissors to fit. Do not overlap
segments of the Top Track Cover.
