At Closets To Go, we pre -assemble as much

hardware as possible in the appropriate

locations according to each individual

design. This makes the installation much

easier by taking the guess work out of

finding the right hardware location. The

following pictures are examples of the

assembly process that we’ve done for you.

The Camar hanging bracket and VB Bolts come

pre -inserted into the side panels.

You don’t have to worry about where to place the

drawer slides because we’ve already done it for

you.

VB Fittings and Tab Fittings have already been

placed into the shelves.

Hinge plates are already attached to their

appropriate sides.

Installation of the hanging rail in a sloped ceiling involves staggering the rail at different heights to

allow the units to line up in the correct manner to level with one another. The exact measurement from

the floor to the bottom of the hanging rail is indicated on the design as well as the special instruction

page.

The first step is to start with the unit that has the highest measurement from the floor to the bottom of

the rail.

Install the hanging rail and then install the side partitions and VB shelves. Level, tighten to the wall and

secure the cleat.

Then proceed to the neighboring unit and install the hanging rail at the specified height from the floor

to the bottom of the rail. This measurement will ensure you that the units will level out with each other.

Install the hanging rail and unit and proceed to the next unit.

If you don’t know how to read a level then don’t worry, it ’s easy. All you have to do

is place the level flat on the surface that you’re working with. Then align the bubble

exactly between the marks on the tube. There are usually three different gauges on a

level and the angle of the surface determines which one you use.

A tape measure blade is marked both in inches and in feet. The end hook always appears to be loose and this is intentional.

It ’s designed to slide a distance equal to its own thickness so both inside and outside measurements will be accurate. The

scale is typically in 1/16 inch increments, so it reads 1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16, 7/8,

(1) Remove the existing closet shelf and pole.

(2) Begin pulling at the cleat from the corner of the closet; first pull off the side wall cleating before pulling

off the back wall cleating.

(3) If your shelf is attached by caulk or construction adhesive use a utility knife (razor knife) to cut along

the outside of all the caulked shelves and cleats to prevent sheet rock from ripping away from the wall, or to

minimize paint chipping.

(4) Wire Removal: Use plyers to remove the hanging clips, screws, and wires from the wall.

(5) Spackle holes and repaint. This is not required, but we highly recommend it.

(1) Upon delivery of your new closet system, check all boxes on the outside for any visual damage that might

have occurred during the shipping process.

(2) After inspection of the boxes proceed to find the box labeled with instructions & hardware. Inside you will

find installation instructions, and the design. Remove and read through the instructions thoroughly.

(3) Next step would be to find a box labeled with the rail. Remove the hanging rail from the box(s) and set it

in the closet(s) corresponding with the design (rail is labeled). Hanging the rail will be the first step in the

installation of the closet (Page 10).

(4) Unpack the side panels (taller boxes labeled “Sides”) and inspect for damage, then set aside in a safe, easily

accessible location. Installing the side panels will be the 2nd step in the installation process.

(5) Unpack the shelves (shorter boxes labeled “Shelves”) and inspect for damage and set aside. Installing the

shelves will be the 3rd step.

(6) Unpack the drawers (shorter boxes labeled “Drawers”) and inspect for damage and set aside. Installing the

drawers will be one of the last steps.

(7) Unpack any other accessories (boxes labeled “Accessories”) and inspect for damage and set aside. Installing

the accessories will be the last step in your installation.

If there is any damage, please call Closets To Go (1-888-312-7424) for replacement parts. You can also visit

our website at www.closetstogo.com and fill out a damage claim there.

We recommend using a stud finder. There are many ways to find studs such as tapping the wall, nail & hammer, or a stud

finder. Electronic stud finders locate studs by measuring the density of a wall.

Using your preferred method, locate all the stud(s) in the wall. Most stud finders find the stud edge. To ensure you find the

center of a stud, scan across the wall in both directions and mark each edge with a light pencil mark. The center of the stud

will be halfway between your two marks. Studs will usually be located either 16” or 24” apart on center. If 24” spacing is

used, it may be necessary to place togglers between studs for extra support.

Using a tape measure, measure 83 7/8” (see Fig # 1) from the

floor, make a mark at each corner, and in the middle of the

wall. Mounting the system at this height will allow for 41

¾” between the bottom rod of any double hanging section

and the floor. 83 7/8” is the recommended fixing rail height

(or otherwise noted on your design) and can be adjusted

for your clothing needs. Lowering or raising the fixing rail

may increase or decrease the height obtainable for double

hanging. Note that the rail must be mounted at 83 7/8” for

hutch system.

check the raIl wIth a level before proceedIng to the next step!

837/8”

Hold the hanging rail so that the bottom edge is on the

83 7/8” mark. Attach the rail to a stud in the center with

one 2 1/2” Phillips screw. (Putting a screw in the center

will allow you to balance the rail and make it easier to

secure the ends.)

Using a level (see above for instructions), proceed to

the left or right end of the rail, making sure the rail is

level (Fig # 4). Then screw the rail into the studs. In the

corners, angling a screw into the stud may be necessary

(Fig # 4). If a 2 1/2” Phillips screw does not work then

you may have to use a 3” Phillips screw.

Attach rail to remaining studs with 2 1/2”

Phillips screws. Angling screws into studs may

be necessary if studs do not line up with rail

holes.

Hold the hanging rail so that the

bottom edge is on the 83 7/8” mark.

Attach the rail to a stud in the center

with one 2 1/2” Phillips screw. (Putting a screw in the

center will allow you to balance the rail and make it

Level the rail then, with a pencil,

lightly mark through the hole in

the rail on the wall where to place

the toggler, and refer to page 15 for toggler

instructions (Fig # 7).

2

Tilt the rail out of the way and drill

a hole for the toggler using the 1/2”

drill bit. Then install the toggler

into the hole (see “how-to” section for toggler

information).

3

Move rail back into place and attach

the rail to the toggler using the

toggle bolt. Then attach the rail to

the rest of the studs using 2 1/2” Phillips screws.

Before installing the rail cover, mark the locations of the studs on the rail cover with a pencil. This will simplify the

installation of the cleats later.

To fit the rail cover, place the small top lip over the hanging rail and press the bottom of the rail cover with your thumb

to snap it into place (Fig # 9).

The bottom fixed shelf will be trimmed to the necessary depth to clear the baseboard. This shelf may be shorter then the other

fixed shelves and have holes predrilled for toe plates.

In hutch sides and any other sides that go to the floor that contain drawers, the bottom shelf can be installed upside -down

( VB fittings facing up) to make it easier to get into the VB fittings. See diagram on page 20.

We suggest that the rail be installed on the walls with hutch sides first. This will allow you to determine the height of the

rail for the rest of the walls. The hutch sides will be notched for your base molding using your measurements given from

your design.

Toe plates are installed on most sections that extend to

the floor. The toe plate is 2.5” tall and the same width

of the shelf. The toe plate will slide on edge under the

bottom fixed shelf and is attached by screwing #8 x 1 1/4”

screws into the pre -drilled holes on the top of the fixed

shelf into the top of the toe plate. Set back the toe plate

.125” to .25”, this will make it more visually appealing.

The hutch sides and any other sides that go to the

Shims can be purchased at any local hardware

store.

Each side is labeled just above the hanging bracket for the

closet wall and the sequential location according to the design.

Separate the sides and lean them against the appropriate wall,

working your way around the closet from left to right, in a

clockwise order.

Next, locate the bundle of fixed shelves labeled for each wall

and section on the shrink wrap, then set them in the appropriate

location.

Hang the first side on the rail; make sure that the lip

on the Camar hanging bracket is placed behind the

lip on the rail. Hang the next side on the rail using the

approximate length of the fixed shelf for the section,

which allows the top fixed shelf to be locked in place.

The fixing rail in the corners will butt into each other. The corner shelves are notched and fitted to allow the hanging

rail behind the side. Attach the fixed shelves first, starting with the top shelf and working your way down. It is easier

to angle the shelves to get them installed. Once the fixed shelves are installed, install the adjustable shelves where

desired. It is easier to put all the adjustable shelves in the corner section and then place your shelf pins.

The fixed shelves will have the VB cam facing down for ease

of access and strength. Using a Philips screwdriver, insert the

screwdriver into the VB cam and turn clockwise ¾ of a full

rotation (Fig # 11). The cam in the VB should grab the head of

the bolt that is protruding out of the side. Make sure the VB

cam is fully locked to the bolt. If you have a reach in closet we

use a 12” deep top fixed shelf for clearance. For a system with

drawers, the shelves on the bottom and in between drawers can

be turned over to access the VB cams from the top.

4 LEVEL & TIGHTEN

Level the system by placing your level on a lower fixed shelf, spanning one section

at a time. If one side is higher than the other turn the top screw in the bracket

clockwise (Fig # 13) and raise the lower side until the section is level.Move to the

next section and repeat the process. Work your way around the closet ensuring

everything is on the same level. It is important to make sure the units with drawers

are level; this will affect the way the fronts of the drawers line up. In cases where

the rail is not properly level, it may be necessary to remove and reinstall the rail.

If one end of the rail is too high, it is possible to remove the sections that are not

level and raise one end of the rail without taking the whole system down.

Before leveling the system, the hanging brackets will need to be snug/tightened to the wall. All walls are not

perfectly flat. The hanging bracket has the ability to be adjusted to accomodate the imperfections of the wall.

By turning the bottom screw clockwise (Fig # 13), you will reduce the gaps between the wall and the sides (Fig

# 13). This step is to adjust for the gap, not the final tightening of the system. Be sure not to over-tighten the

bracket; doing so will impede the leveling adjustment of the system. Repeat this step for all sections.

After the system is level, finish tightening to the wall by turning the bottom screw in the

hanging bracket clockwise (See Fig # 14). The hanging bracket needs to be firmly tightened

without over tightening.

Looking at the front of the Camar hanging bracket there are two adjustment screws. Turn the top screw clockwise to raise the system, turning the bottom screw clockwise will draw the bracket in and take up any space between the walls.

STUDS

RAIL

CLEAT

Before pushing the cleat in to place over the VB

bolts you will need mark the location of the studs.

This is done by placing the cleat in each section on

the wall slightly below the fixing rail. Transfer the

marks on the rail cover for stud location onto the

cleat.

The cleat will need to have the Tab Fittings

inserts facing the wall. Push the cleat onto

these fittings with the finished edge facing

upward. On a long hanging section, install

the cleat with the finished edge facing

down.

Page 35: Welcome to your new closet system from Closets To Go! We … · 2017-03-01 · 3 Welcome to your new closet system from Closets To Go! We would like to thank you for your purchase

35

Now that the system is plumb, secure the cleats into

the studs by first using a 3/16” bit to pre -drill a hole.

Then, screw a 2 1/2” screw through the cleat. These

screws need to be recessed into the cleat slightly.

Place the self-adhesive cover caps on the screws to

cover them.

Before securing the cleats to the wall the system

needs to be plumbed. Plumbing the system is done

by placing a level on the side of the system and

moving the bottom of the unit either left or right until

the level reads plumb (Fig # 15). This is especially

important for drawer sections to ensure proper

alignment.

If 14” deep drawers are used in a system, the cleat

will be located above the drawers. It will also be

necessary to install a small Bennet clip into the wall,

flat against the bottom shelf of the drawer section.

Attach the clip to the wall stud using 2 ½” Phillips

screws and then attach the clip to the shelf using

Truss screws.

If installing a 20” deep hutch system, the cleat will

be located between the drawer slides towards the

bottom section. There is room behind the drawers

without interfering with the drawer.

6 ADJUSTABLE SHELVES & RODS

To place the hanging tubes, locate the tube support

brackets first; they are chrome and oval with two pins

protruding out (See Tube Support, Pg. 7). The pins will fit

into the hole patterns of the side partitions, with the open

end facing upward.

Now take the correct size shelf and

place it on the pins with the finished

edge facing outward.

In your bag of hardware there should be

several shelf supports (see Pg. 7). Push

these pins in to the hole patterns of the

sides where you would like to place the

adjustable shelves. There should always be

four pins per shelf and six pins for corner

shelves.

The supports should be spaced one hole down from the fixed

shelf and in the front hole pattern of the side partition. Being

spaced one hole down from the fixed shelf allows easier

access for the clothes hanger to be placed on the hanging

tube. The tube support can be placed one hole higher for

more clearance. This will make the hanger access tighter

depending on the style of hanger used.

1) Start by aligning the VB fittings in the shelf with the VB bolts that protrude

from the outside edge of the side, now rest the other end of the shelf on top

of the other system. Take a pencil and trace a line along the connection shelf

where it overlaps the other top shelf.

3) Lock the shelf onto the VB bolts and

slide the H-channel between the shelves

connecting them.

2) Remove the shelf. Using a jigsaw, cut inside the

line that you have marked by 3/16”. Take the H-

channel included and cut it to fit the raw side of

the connection shelf.
