Q. Will a John Louis Home Closet Organizer fit my closet size?

A. All John Louis Home Closet Organizers fit closets up to 10ft. in wall length. With the included parts, a Closet Organizer can do multiple closet configurations spanning a maximum of 10ft, and one configuration spanning 12ft. For closet walls that are 10ft. and below, the organizers can be installed in multiple configurations, as shown in our instruction manuals. This is achieved by how the shelves are positioned to cover the required span. When used in closets where the width is less than 10ft., the excess shelving from any cuts can be used back in the organizer, often as additional shelves within the tower. This allows you to get the most out of your organizer with minimal waste.

Q. What if my closet is greater than 12ft. wide?
A. Our closet systems allow multiple configurations up to 10ft. wide. However, you may go up to 12ft., allowing only one configuration. When this is done you are using all the material at its maximum length, thus leaving the tower with two pre-cut 24in. shelves. (not including the tower bottom). When using a 10ft. or less configuration, you can place any leftover shelving within the tower, therefore filling it out more. With a 12ft. configuration there will likely be a need to purchase additional tower accessories or shelving.

Q. What if my closet is less than 6ft. wide?
A. Since the organizers are cut-to-fit, most homeowners who have a closet of 6ft. or less can split the parts within the organizer and use them between multiple closets or walls.
For example, a 6ft. Shelf and Garment Bar can be used on one wall, while the Tower and 4ft. Shelf/Bars are used on another wall or in another room.

Q. What is the height of a John Louis Home Closet Organizer?
A. A John Louis Home Closet Organizer does not have a fixed height. Because the system must always be secured to a wall, the top shelf and tower can be mounted at whatever height best fits the individual. Often, the tower and adjoining top shelf are hung at an industry standard of 84in, with the second shelf hung at 48in, completing the popular “double hang”. The tower may also be set flush with the floor if the wall trim allows. Please note that the minimum height of the organizer is 72.7in, as this is the tower height.

Q. Can the Closet Organizer be free-floating on either or both sides?
A. Yes, the shelving included with the organizers can be free-floating by using the provided curved wooden angle brackets. These angle brackets provide support to the shelf if not installed into a side wall.

Q. Can the Garment Bars be mounted directly into sidewalls?
A. No, the Garment Bars are specifically designed to mount directly under the John Louis Home shelving.

Q. What tools are required to install a John Louis Home Closet Organizer?
A. The tools required are a tape measure, pencil, level, screwdriver, power drill, and a saw. John Louis Home recommends a table saw, chop saw, or a fine-toothed hand saw.

Q. Can Closet Organizers be installed on brick or plaster?
A. John Louis Home Closet Organizers are designed for installation on current specifications and methods of wood studding and drywall. While the organizers can be installed on alternative wall types, custom wall preparation and hardware will be required.


Q. What if my cut measurement is in the middle of a shelf slat?
A. There are two solutions to this. One – The size of the included Shelf End Hardware allows for short cuts; therefore, you may cut at the nearest slat side of your measurement. Two – Make your cut using a fine-toothed straight handsaw and place the cut slat side facing the sidewall.

Q. Can 12in. shelving be mixed with 16in. towers?
A. Yes, 12in. shelving can be used with 16in. towers. When installing 12in. shelving with 16in. towers the shelving must always be installed on the exterior, not as Adjustable Shelves for the tower interior. When doing this installation, the 12in. shelving will need to be supported with a curved wooden angle bracket, as it cannot be attached directly to the tower side.

Q. Will the solid wood warp?
A. To prevent warping, John Louis Home uses only quality kiln-dried wood. The wood is treated and the multi-layered finish process blocks moisture intake. As with any natural product, warping may occur when used in areas that contain overly excessive amounts of moisture.

Q. Can the Garment Bars be cut?
A. Yes, the Garment Bars are designed to be cut-to-size when needed. A fine-toothed blade suitable for metal is recommended.

Q. What is the distance from the Garment Bar to the shelf above?
A. The Garment Bar sits 2in. below the shelf rail.

Q. How much clearance is there from the Garment Bar to the back wall.
A. The Garment Bar sits 10.25in. from the back wall. This allows clearance for any standard hanger.

Q. Can John Louis Home shelving be installed in a 90-degree corner?
A. Yes, shelving can be installed in a corner at a 90-degree angle. One shelf (A) is installed onto the back wall and side wall. The other shelf (B) is installed to the perpendicular wall and secured to the front of shelf (A) using the included Shelf End Hardware.


Q. What are the Tower dimensions?
A. The Tower measures 72.7in. high and 26.25in. wide on the exterior. The interior height is 69.25in. and the interior width is 24in.

Q. Can I add items to my existing John Louis Home Closet Organizer?
A. Yes, additional shelves, drawers, and accessories are compatible and can be added to an existing organizer at any time.

Q. How many Drawers can I use in my Closet Organizer?
A. John Louis Home recommends a drawer height combination of 36in. to fill the bottom half of the Tower, allowing the Tower Doors to complete the top half if used. Other drawer combinations can be used to accommodate storage customization.
