6. Maintenance

The TORACK Metal Pegboard System is designed for low maintenance and long-lasting performance.

• Cleaning: The powder-coated finish is scratch-resistant and easy to clean. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the panels and accessories. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all mounting screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Rust Resistance: The metal panels are treated for rust resistance, making them suitable for various environments. However, prolonged exposure to extreme moisture or corrosive substances should be avoided.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your TORACK Metal Pegboard System, refer to the following common solutions:

• Pegboard feels unstable after installation: Ensure all mounting screws are fully tightened and that the wall anchors are properly seated in a suitable wall material. If the wall material is weak, consider using different anchors designed for that specific material.
• Hooks do not fit properly: Verify that you are using standard 1/8" or 1/4" pegboard hooks with 1" spacing. Non-standard hooks may not fit securely.
• Items falling off hooks: Ensure items are balanced on hooks and not exceeding the hook's individual weight capacity. Some hooks are designed for specific tool types.
• Difficulty cleaning: For stubborn grime, a mild soap solution with a soft cloth can be used, followed by drying with a clean cloth.
