How Do I Adjust a California Closet Shelf?
Custom closet systems like those manufactured by California Closets offer solutions for almost any storage need. These modular units are relatively easy to install and modify. The backs of the components hang from metal rails attached to the rear closet wall. For shelving units, vertical supports attach to adjustable suspension brackets that hang from the rails. The shelving boards sit on pegs inserted into holes in the inside faces of the vertical supports. Cam-locks that tighten around the pegs hold the shelf boards securely in place. Adjusting a California Closet shelf requires moving the vertical support or the shelving pegs. Does this Spark an idea?
