Planning Guidelines

Rails: The primary support component of the system.

• Measure wall and subtract 1” to establish Rail length.
Allow 1/2” on either side of Rail.

• You may combine smaller size Rails or you may cut a
long Rail to fit your measurement.

Rail Hardware: Patented Anchor system—no

need to locate studs.

• The Rail installs using Screws and Strong-Loc™ Anchors
every 8”.

• Each Hardware package provides 6 Screws and Anchors.

• Each size Rail has the number of holes shown below.

Uprights: Slotted channels provide a multitude of

adjustability options.

• Vertical options:
78” - maximum exibility, best long-term choice.
48” - supports 2 rows of short hang.
30” - supports 1 row of long hang.

• Horizontal spacing:
36” apart for shelving only.
30” apart for Big O-Boxes.
24” apart for O-Boxes.

Shelving: Several styles for easy customized solutions.

• Heavy duty Ventilated Shelving in 9”, 12”, 16” or 20” depths.

• 14” deep Wood Shelving for a custom closet appeal.

• All shelving comes in 24”, 30”, 36”, 48”, 72” and 96” cut lengths.

• Shelves may extend up to 9” beyond Uprights.

Brackets and Rod Clips: Heavy-duty

construction for a lifetime of use and adjustability.

• Choose Ventilated or Wood Brackets depending on the
type of Shelf used.

• Rod Clips provide a secure connection between the
Bracket and Clothes Rod and do not interfere with
hangers sliding along the Clothes Rod.

Clothes Rods and Rod Stops: Durable

chrome or nickel plated nish; hangers slide eortlessly.

• Clothes Rods may be mounted under any Shelf.

O-Boxes® customize any freedomRail closet!

• O-Boxes are 24” or 30” wide and are supported by Uprights.

• May be mounted at any height along the Uprights, from
the top to the bottom.

with all necessary hardware.

Installation Guidelines

The Rail:

• Measure 84” from the oor.
Use a Level to draw a level line at
this height.

• Place the Rail on the wall so this line is
visible through the mounting holes. Make a
circle at each hole. No need to align holes with studs.

• Drill each mounting hole with a 5/16” drill bit. If you do
hit studs, use 5/32” drill bit to make a pilot hole. In this case,
you will use the Screw only - no Anchor.

• Tap plastic Anchors into 5/16” holes.

• Place Rail over Anchors, twist in several screws to hold Rail.

• Insert and tighten all screws with a power drill. IMPORTANT:
Allow screw to turn 6-8 full rotations after it is ush with the
Rail so the Anchor tightens into a ball behind the drywall.

• Place Cover Stickers over each screw head.

Uprights and Brackets

• I nsert Uprights onto the Rail at appropriate spacing intervals
(see Planning Guidelines).

• Insert Brackets into Uprights at appropriate shelf heights
(see Planning Guidelines).

Rod Clips

• Rod Clips are placed into brackets prior to installing shelves.

• Insert Rod Clips into the Bracket and pull downward until
you feel it snap into place.

Clothes Rod and Rod Stops

• Spin the ange on the Rod Stop until it is halfway up
threaded shaft.

• Push Rod Stop into Rod; then twist the Stop until it tightens.

• Place completed Rods onto Rod Clips. Pull
downward until they snap into place.

Ventilated Shelving

• Lay Shelf onto Brackets with center Shelf rod positioned
over center bracket notch.

• Push down on center Shelf rod. Then lift the front
edge and slide the Shelf back.

• Shelves may be cut to fit exact measurements using
a pipe cutter. Apply Ventilated End Caps to edges.

Wood Shelving

• Shelf Locators attach Shelves to Wood Brackets.

• Place two Shelf Locators into each bracket. Remove double
stick tape.

• Place Shelf onto Bracket in desired position and press to
adhere to Locators.

• An optional Screw is provided with Shelf Locators if a xed
connection is desired.

O-Boxes®

• Uprights are spaced 24” or 30” apart for O-Boxes or
Big O-Boxes. Insert the O-Box bracket into the
inside slot of each Upright.

• If installing a stack of O-Boxes, install bottom O-Box rst.

• If installing O-Boxes side-by-side, each O-Box will
need its own set of Uprights.

* Rails are typically mounted at 94” when incorporating a Double-Hang O-Box.
