Peggy Chubb Home Frequently Asked Questions

Will a John Louis Home Closet System fit my closet size?

All John Louis Home Closet Systems fit closets up to 10 feet in wall length. Because the maximum configuration width is 10 feet, the closet system will fit into any wall dimension that is 120 inches (10 ft.) or less

Will I get more shelving if I install the closet system on a wall smaller than 10 feet wide?

Yes. When installed in a closet where the wall is 8 feet wide or less, you will be able to make additional 24" wide shelves from the excess shelf cuts to be used within your closet system.

What do I do if I need more than just a Closet System?

John Louis Home Closet Solutions are designed to meet your needs. Just start with a Closet system and build on from there. Individual shelf lengths, components, hardware and accessories are available for purchase from John Louis Home retailers. If you just need a shelf or want to design your whole house, John Louis Home can provide you with the solution. Certain retailers will help design a custom closet and provide a bill of materials to make your John Louis closet solution easy.

What is the height of a John Louis Home Closet System?

A John Louis Home Closet System does not have a fixed height. Because the system is wall mounted, whatever dimension you decide to place your top shelf determines the height. If your configuration utilizes a 24" wide shelf tower (fixed or adjustable) the tower height will be 6 feet down from the placement of your top shelf.

How is the closet system mounted?

John Louis Home makes use of an "Off-The-Floor" wall mounting system. The system utilizes 3 universal bracket types that are secured onto the walls. The shelves are then locked into the brackets. Since the shelving covers the majority of the brackets, minimal hardware is open to view. Because the closet system is raised, the closet floor space is clear of any obstructions. Download closet instructions on the "Installation Help" page of johnlouishome.com for further information and visuals.

Does John Louis Home closets solutions use corner pieces to connect perpendicular shelves?

No. It's not necessary. The back of each shelf is mounted onto the wall. The front end of one shelf (shelf A) is mounted onto the sidewall using a shelf end bracket. The other shelf (shelf B) is mounted onto the front face of shelf A using a shelf end bracket where they meet. It's that simple.

How can I configure my John Louis Home Closet?

Any way you desire. If you purchased a John Louis Home Closet System, 8 standard configurations are supplied (4 - 8ft. designs, 4 - 10ft. designs) for your convenience. The closet system is designed to be cut and configured to meet your needs.

What tools are necessary to install a John Louis Home Closet?

All you need is a tape measure, pencil, level, screwdriver (preferably a powered driver), saw (preferably a Chop Saw or fine blade hand saw) and a basic proficiency with do-it-yourself projects and tools.

What if my cut measurement is located in the middle of a shelf slat?

There's two ways to handle this. One - The size of the shelf end bracket 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. Place the cut slat side facing the sidewall.

Can I mix 12 inch shelving with a 16 inch shelves and tower?

Yes. If you are using a deluxe adjustable shelf tower you must use a 16-inch shelf for the tower top and tower bottom.

Can I use the pass-through garment bar on a 12-inch shelf or the wood garment bar on a 16-inch Shelf?

Yes. Each garment bar style is interchangeable between closet solution types. Since these are classified as custom modifications, download the individual part instructions for installation process.

Will the solid wood warp?

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.
