Hi All,
I have an obscure hardware problem I am hoping to get some guidance with. I am attempting to build my own version of the famed “California Closet”, closet organizer system. (www.californiaclosets.com).
The only challenge I am not able to overcome is the hardware used to ‘pin’ the individual shelves to the verticals. Contrary to standard shelving, their system uses shelf pins that have a vertical lip on them. The shelf itself has a small notch cut out of it and a corresponding locking piece sits in this notch which ‘locks’ that corner of the shelf to the pin it is now connected to.
The genius of this design is that the shelves are not permanently locked in and since the pins and the shelves can be moved around, you can redo your closet when your needs change.
My questions are 2-fold: 1) Assuming my description makes sense, does anyone know who makes these hardware pieces or where I can get them? and/or 2) Any ideas how to reproduce the effect for myself if I can’t get the hardware?
Cheers
John

Not exactly sure of what you are describing but if Hafele doesn't have something you don't need it. 336-889-2322 Some marketing thing...California Closet looks just like the New York Closet. Actually it was the European Closet first...all that modern hardware came from there.

Thanks for the help.
I just saw something like you were describing at the local HOBO. The place sells the overstocks and the Close-outs from all over. The point is the wire shelves are hung by a trough and a vertical perforated shelf channel. Shelf brackets fit in the slots and you move it according to your whim. (seems like you'd have to move a back wire channel as well in this design)
Rubbermaid is the short answer.
Thanks for the help!
