Closet organizers are quite versatile. The shelves are adjustable, and you can usually choose from several cabinet options, including drawers, shoe racks and sliding baskets. Organizer kits come in several sizes, so measure your closet to determine what size you'll need. - Remove everything from the closet, including the doors and existing shelves (figure A).
- Patch any holes with spackling compound (figure B) or other appropriate filler, and paint the closet (figure C).
- Mark the mounting locations for the closet-organizer shelf tower on the back of the closet wall (figure D).
- Mark the positions of the left and right side walls from their respective corners.
- Dry-fit the support posts to determine where to drill holes for the wall anchors. Drill the holes, and drive the anchors into the wall (figure E).
- When all holes are drilled and the anchors are in place, screw in bracket supports for the shelf-tower brackets (figure F).
- Hang the brackets onto the supports by sliding them in place (figure G).
- Mount the shelf-tower support post to the brackets with screws (figure H).
- Begin installing the side wall by securing the clothes-hanger-bar brackets to the closet wall (figure I).
- Snap the shelf planking onto the shelf-tower unit (figure J).
- Set the hanger bars in place, and measure and mark a wire plank to be cut for the top shelf (figure K). Cut the wire plank with a hacksaw, and snap plastic caps onto the cut ends (figure L).
- Snap plastic caps onto the tops of the support posts.
