Rubber mallet Day Two - Assemble the tower for the back wall by screwing it together.
Expert Tip: When installing a tower section, it is also important to use a cleat, besides just the track. This will keep the unit from moving side to side. The cleat (figure A) can be mounted under any of the fixed shelves and will give the unit extra support. - Hang the organizer on the track. Screw the attached cleat into the wall.
- Use shelf pins to add more adjustable shelves, and continue adding panels. When adding fixed shelves to the top of the panel, secure them on the outside of the panel, making them extra sturdy.
- Use rod ends to hang the wardrobe rods (figure B).
- Screw in all the shelves on the outside, use corner brackets (figure C) to support the corner shelves.
- To build the drawers, run a strip of glue down the miters.
- Put a drop in each hole and put the bottom of the drawer in place (figure D).
- Fold the drawer into position and use a rubber mallet to tap into place.
- Make sure it is square and screw knob onto the drawer face.
- Attach the face to the drawer, screw it into place, and attach glides (figure E).
- Attach glides on panel on the height where you want your drawers.
- Add accessories.
Note: The beauty of the closet system is that you can move stuff around as your needs change. In the next segment, Ryan installs a reach-in teen's closet.
