4. Installation Instructions
The WORKPRO Garage Tool Organizer can be installed on drywall, wood studs, or masonry. Ensure you use the correct fasteners for your wall type.
4.1. Installation on Masonry/Concrete Walls
- Mark Screw Holes: Place a rail against the wall at the desired height. Use a pencil to mark the screw hole locations on the wall.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill 5/32-inch pilot holes through the rail and into the wall at the marked locations. For masonry, then drill 5/16-inch holes into the wall for anchors.
- Insert Anchors: Gently tap the provided anchors into the 5/16-inch holes until they are flush with the wall surface.
- Secure Rail: Align the rail with the anchors and secure it using the provided screws. Tighten until snug, but do not overtighten.
4.2. Installation on Wood Studs
- Locate Studs: Use a stud finder to locate the center of the wall studs. Mark these locations. The rails are designed to fit standard 16-inch wall stud spacing.
- Mark Screw Holes: Place a rail against the wall, aligning it with the marked stud centers. Use a pencil to mark the screw hole locations on the wall.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill 5/32-inch pilot holes through the rail and into the wood studs at the marked locations.
- Secure Rail: Align the rail with the pilot holes and secure it using the provided screws. Tighten until snug.

5.1. Adjusting and Releasing Hooks
The hooks are designed for easy adjustment and removal, allowing you to customize your storage layout as needed.
- To Install a Hook: Align the hook's top tab with the upper groove of the rail and the bottom tab with the lower groove. Push the hook firmly into the rail until it clicks into place.
- To Adjust a Hook: Once installed, the hook can slide horizontally along the rail to accommodate different tool sizes and arrangements.
- To Release a Hook: Locate the red lock button on the hook. Push the lock button upward to disengage the locking mechanism, then pull the hook away from the rail.

7. Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their solutions:
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Hooks slide too easily or fall off. | Lock button not fully engaged. | Ensure the hook is pushed firmly into the rail until the lock button clicks and is fully engaged. |
| Rails feel loose on the wall. | Screws are not tight enough or incorrect fasteners used. | Retighten all screws. Verify that appropriate anchors and screws were used for your wall type. If on drywall, ensure screws are in studs or proper heavy-duty anchors are used. |
| System cannot hold advertised weight. | Weight concentrated in one area or exceeding capacity. | Distribute tools evenly across the rails and hooks. Do not exceed 75 lbs per linear foot or 300 lbs total. Ensure proper installation into studs or masonry. |
