INSTALLING RAIL – 3 SCENARIOS
There are three combinations (a, b, c) of anchoring
systems that are used when installing rail.
When laying out your closet system and preparing to hang the
rail it is important to locate where your panels will be hanging
and where the studs are in the wall.
Rule:
Any vertical panel hanging in the system should not
be located more than 3” to the left or right of an anchor
location. An anchor location is anywhere the rail is
secured to the wall either by screwing to a stud behind it
or by using a toggle anchor. Snap Toggle anchors are used
when there is no stud within 3” of where the panel will
be located or if you have a metal stud wall, as the metal
framing does not have the gripping power for our rail
system.

SCENARIOS
A.
Hang the rail using 2
½
” screws
B.
Hang the rail using both 2
½
” screws and Snap Toggle anchors
C.
Hang the rail using only Snap Toggle anchors
In this scenario panels 1 and 2 will be installed within 3
inches of a wood stud and so the rail is screwed to the
studs using 2 ½” screws. Two screws are used. One is
screwed straight in and another is screwed in on an angle
to secure the rail to the wall. (See scenario A diagram
above).
In this scenario panel 1 will be installed within 3” of a wood
stud and so the rail is screwed to the stud using two 2
½
”
screws at that location. Panel 2 will hang more than 3” to
the right of a wood stud and so a Snap Toggle anchor (see
directions on installing Snap Toggle anchors) must be used
at that location. (See scenario diagram above and the arrow
pointing to the location where a Snap Toggle should be
installed).
In this scenario, panels 1 and 2 will hang where there are
no studs directly behind the rail. (See scenario C diagram
above and the arrows pointing to the locations where Snap
Toggles should be installed).
