" Now a lot of that. Criticisms that I heard these systems often have to do with the design the layout fact that you end up with just short areas of hanging rod. And here we've got a club that's what about five by nine I plan to professional working people are going to share it has so how have you designed visit to really accommodate their needs."

" Well this is the first section. I can see the whole closet going up -- that we designed by our sitting down and I mean. And talking to them and getting real good understanding nothing more scrutiny. That I -- requirement. As for example -- pointed this out a few roads that she asked for us to earmark a separate section. Or -- is -- going to be coming here in those are full length battling a vacancy now we have another section here which will probably can't stomach her glasses that's -- I put some shelves about it. And everything is fully adjustable that it just the spacing of the shelves right it's taking out mix -- what about if you needed more rod space while that. Very simple to -- Our system is designed. He can easily take out shelves which are sitting on pay him -- Poland but. She and the poles go into these these plastic disks that's right and those fittings match up with our whole system if you put. I was in the hot -- As a wooden dowel. It is a wooden dowel that isn't covered up with white plastic."

" And it's great. Now I noticed that all these different components are installed or a hung out of this burden of horizontal white bar I was network well --"

" How it works is that California closet system starts with this tempered steel rail. And this is really the only part that is permanently attached to walk."

" So these are you drive screws through the whole idea of living that's correct correct and anything else hangs off that rail and you just stress that up that you don't seize steel. -- So the vertical components he's already put in place. I was just noticing in the corner he was making an adjustment up there what what are these things."

" post front suspension bracket. And those -- go in. To be locked into the rail that bill has attached on the wall and that's how you can control whether it's plumbing are not. Exactly and also we set those sections based upon customers -- Then knock that out with this that is perhaps of course exactly where the hanging section is and does not."

" So there's plenty of them strength off that mounting Barbara what about lateral rigidity how do you still."

" And it up about what bill is doing now Bob he's putting in what we call our cam lock shelf. And we have one shelf that is locked in place in every section of the closet. And because the whole system is fully adjustable. What this does is keep collateral that's totally true and in place."

" Neat so that's more distinctly. And then of course the shelves are just installed. Wherever you want them using these pins right. That's right him. So you got hanging -- you've got shelving and I can also include."

" Drawers that's correct but by -- if you -- in the closet we can eliminate some of the bedroom furniture. From Holland I mean that's a good idea. A look at. While that aspect of women's do we product. Excellent. -- must have a lot of jewelry and."

" Nice job no mess on the floor. Thanks a lot bill. OK -- that's one thing at a florist totally clear you don't have to the vertical supports going all the way down there so it's easy -- vacuum --"

Installing Custom Closets
Installing Custom Closets

Bob enters the master suite to talk with Marcy Weisberg and Brad Bendell who are installing the totally custom California Closets. Marcy explains that the homeowners asked for 'his' and 'hers 'sections in their 12' x 6' closet space. The 'hers' section is separated into long hanging with shelves above, double hanging for tops and bottoms, mid-length hanging with shelves above, and lots of shoe storage. Brad tells us that the Closet frames are built out of high-pressure furniture grade particle board with a mahogany finish. He first screws a metal bar into the studs with a 2" tempered screw . After that he puts a cover onto the rail to dress it up and then installs the vertical partitions for strength. Next he hangs the horizontal members. The hardware on the cam-locking shelf is inserted into the vertical partitions and the cam locks into place much like a piece of knock-down furniture. Brad then does the same at the bottom to complete the frame. Marcy explains that the closet systems are priced by component - partitions, shelves, and accessories. After the system is installed it will be separated from the rest of the master suite by a Japanese Shoji screen.

Organizing Space in the Walk-In Closet
Organizing Space in the Walk-In Closet

The master closet of the Melrose home was redesigned to maximize storage space. Chloe Durant of California Closets met with the homeowner to draw up plans on redesigning the space. The dressers in the closet were cluttered and in the wrong areas while hanging clothes were not accessible. A drawer unit with full extension, ball-bearing slides was selected. Double hanging was put into place where the hanging rack used to stand. Women's shoe shelves were put in to display different shoes. A vanity with jewelry drawer section was installed and a hanging wall with hangers at different heights to keep clothes organized. Adding all the hanging units has resulted in a big gain in the amount of open floor spacein the walk-in closet.
