MIXED SYSTEM INSTALLATION
CUTTING YOUR OWN RAIL
CONNECTOR SHELF OVERVIEW
A mixed system installation is a combination of both
floor-based and suspended systems.
1. Install floor based portions of system first. This is a
critical step, as the floor-based section will determine
the height of your hang rail. Install floor-based sections
according to instructions in manual.
Level units around the room (if it involves more than 1
wall that has connector shelves). Otherwise, just leave
floor based section.
2. Once these are level, mark a line 2 ¼” down from the top
of the floor-based section.
3. Level section “a” then measure down 2 ¼” from top of
panel 3 to establish a center line of rail for section “b.”
4. Complete installation according to the suspended
system instructions.
If you opted out of pre-cut hanging rails in your closet order, the
following guide will walk you through the steps to cut your own rail.
Refer to your design to determine the length of the metal rail that
will need to be cut to size.
Tips:
1. Install toggles at the 2nd hole from each end to secure. Seam
rail behind a panel. If this is not possible, seam in the middle of
a section if there is no wood stud at seam
2. Use a jigsaw with a metal blade.
3. For half bore panels, deduct 3/8” from overall measurement.
Note:
Do not cut your rail until you are positive of the length it should
be. Call Closets.com for questions.
If your closet system design includes a connector shelf, the
following step-by-step directions should be adhered to for
successful installation.
1. Connector shelves are required to be the last part of
installation.
2. Shelves are oversized to be cut on site.
3. Cut shelf ¼” less than the opening in which it will go.
4. Attach the plastic sleeve over the rough cut.
