Step 1: Fasten the track to the wall

Start by positioning the track where you want it. Use a level to make sure it's straight. The track is usually placed at ceiling or door height. Drill holes, and insert correct hardware. Screw the track into place. The only holes that have to be made in the wall are for the track. It is easy to make changes later if you need to without having to renovate the wall. The track is available in lengths of 101,5cm and 200cm. 

Step 2: Hang the hang standards onto the track

Hang the hang standards (lengths 121cm, 201cm and 230cm) onto the track with a maximum of 90cm intervals. Snap the closet shelf brackets into the hang standards at the height you prefer.

Step 3: Snap the closet rods into the holders

Snap the closet rods into the holders and the shelves into their brackets. All of this can be done without the use of tools. Wooden shelves are fastened with screws through the holes in the brackets or with shelf pins. Brackets are available for wooden shelves in various lengths.

Step 4: Assemble the elfa drawer frames. 

Slide in the combination of drawers that you prefer.

Drawer Frames

Side panels and crossbars are bought separately. The lengths of the crossbars determines the width of the elfa frame - 25, 35, 45 or 55 cm. The side panels determine the height - 44, 74 and 104 cm - or any combination of these heights is possible since the frames can be connected to form a higher unit. The side panels come in two depths: 54 and 44cm. 

Assembling Drawer frames

Use a rubber or plastic hammer. Protect the floor with a wood block. If using a metalhammer, protect also the metal with a wood block.

1) Place the side panels so that the runners face inward. The top of the unit is where the runners are closest to the top of the frame. Tap the "L" shaped connectors into the top of the frame.

2) Turn the frame upside down and tap the "T" shaped connectors into the bottom of the frame.

Connecting Frames of the same width and depth to create a tower

1) Assemble, as described above, the frame that will be the top of your tower.

2) Assemble the lower frame/s by tapping the "T" shaped connectors into the bottom of the frame/s first. Do not install the top, "L" shaped connectors to this frame. Instead, place the bottom of the frame that you just assembled into the top of the lower frame and tap them together. When connecting frames in this manner, you will have left over "L" shaped connectors. Save them in case you ever want to disassemble the towers and make individual units again. 


Step 5. Install sliding doors.
