Hanging Tower System

SHELVING/TOWER ASSEMBLY

4.  Fasten the rail to the wall with a Zip Toggle Bolt wherever a partition will be hung that is more than 4 in. to the 

left or right from the center of a stud.

 (See FIG. 4)

5.  Positioning the bottom of the rail flush to the drawn line, fasten the rail to every stud using one #10 x 2 in. 

Washer Hex Head Screw per stud. (Use Tapcons for concrete and cinder block walls. Use Zip Toggle Bolts for 
stud-less walls.) 

THE RAIL MUST BE ANCHORED A MINIMUM OF EVERY 16 in. ALONG ITS LENGTH AND 

NO MORE THAN 4 in. FROM ANCHOR TO PARTITION.

6.  Trim the plastic rail cover to fit, and snap it over the length of the rail.

 

 

NOTE:

 If rail is to be longer than 8 feet, seam the rail cover directly behind a partition to ensure a smooth visible surface.

7.  Hang the vertical partitions in their final positions from the suspension brackets on the rail. 

Secure any 

partitions that are adjacent to a side-wall through a stud. 

(See “Working with Different Wall Types” for 

appropriate wall hardware.)

8.  Fasten all screw-in or double-sided studs into the system holes for the fixed shelves. 

(See FIG. 5) 

Thread 

screw-in studs into partition holes until the stop ring is snug with the partition face. (See “Drawer” in “Drawer 
and Door Assembly” section for locations of fixed shelves above, below and between banks of drawers.)

 

 

NOTE:

 Use screw-in studs only in partitions positioned on the end or in corners. Use double sided studs for contiguous closet 

sections in which you need to have two fixed shelves fastened to either side of the same system hole. For example, you must use 

double-sided studs for neighboring fixed shelves of adjacent double hang sections.

9.  Working from one corner across the wall (left or right), seat the fixed shelves’ cam locks, for the end section 

only 

(See FIG. 5a)

 over the screw-in studs’ heads and tighten each cam lock clockwise with a Phillips head 

screw-driver until secure.

10. After fastening all fixed shelves in the end section, measure the length of the fixed shelf (e.g. 24 in.) between 

the top of the corner partition and the adjacent partition. 

(See FIG. 5b)

 If necessary, tap the adjacent 

partition along the top with your hand to adjust its position on the rail to meet this measurement.

•   

We strongly recommend that you secure a cleat to the center tower of every three (3) towers. 

To do so, 

push dowel cleats into holes in left and right center partitions and secure cleat to each panel using a HiLow 
screw. 

(See FIG. 5c)

 Secure cleat to back wall with two (2) wall screws 

(see “Working with Different 

Wall Types”).

11. Level both end section partitions using a 4 foot level. 

 

 

NOTE:

 Corner walls may not be level in comparison to the end partition.) Adjust partition plumbness (level) using the set screw on 

the bottom of each suspension bracket. 

(See Fig. 6) 

12. Repeats steps 9-12 for each section working to the left or right along the wall.

13. If the design uses a continuous top shelf (instead of cammed top shelving), after leveling the sections, 

measure, cut and position the long, top shelf. (NOTE: This step is the one exception to the “Order of Assembly.” 
For floor-mounted laminate systems, the continuous top shelf occurs after installation of all doors, drawers 
and angled wall towers. See “Top Shelf and Pole” in “Shelving/Tower Assembly” section for details regarding 
top shelf installation.)
