    • This plastic strip features grooves onto which accessories can be hung (figure A). The grooves are the same width, allowing the accessories to fit no matter what configuration is selected. To add a bin, hook or basket, slip the accessory tab into the top groove (figure B). Pull the accessory downward to lock in place (figure C). Reverse the steps to remove.

    • Each strip features a 300 lb. capacity. Put two together, and you've created enough strength to hold a fully-loaded cabinet (figure D).

    • Strips can be mounted to drywall, open frame studs or masonry. Use the proper fastener for the wall material, then place a fastener in each groove on the plastic strip. Use a level to ensure even alignment.
