DIY PROJECT KIT PLANS
MODULAR CLOSET ORGANIZER

This organizer makes it easy to turn a cluttered, chaotic closet into a
clean, organized space. It’s modular, which means it’s made up of just
a few “boxes” that you can configure in a way that works to suit your
closet and your storage needs.
Best of all, you can build it yourself for a fraction of the cost of a
commercially-made closet system. All you need are the tools in your
Kreg DIY Project Kit, a drill, a circular saw, a few other basic tools, plus
a few pieces of plywood and some boards.
We’ll walk you through the process of building an organizer for your
closet step by step.
Made in the U.S.A.

Introduction:
Please read this page before you begin working on this plan.
Safety:
Attention: Almost any do-it-yourself project involves risk of some sort. Your tools, materials, and skills will
vary, as will the conditions at your project site. Kreg Tool Company (“Kreg”) has made every effort to be
complete and accurate in the instructions and other content contained in this document. However, Kreg will
not assume any responsibility or liability for damages or losses sustained or incurred in the course of your
project or in the use of the item you create. Always follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions in the use
of tools, check and follow your local building codes, and observe all commonly accepted safety precautions.
We strive to be accurate, but reserve the right to correct any errors.
Tips for working with your project plan:

• Before you begin building your project, read through the plan completely to ensure that
you’ll know what to expect as you proceed, and so that you understand all of the steps in
the process.
• As you plan, keep the following in mind:
• The Closet Organizer is made up of four types of “boxes” that you can joined together
in a configuration that fits your space.
• Depending on your configuration, you may build multiples of a particular type of box,
or you may not to build that box at all.
• Each type of “box” is presented independently, and each has its own materials list, cutting
diagram, and set of instructions. These show the materials, cuts, and instructions for
building one (1) box of that type. Be sure to multiply the materials by the number of boxes
of that type you build.
• Before you begin building, you may want to practice using your tools with some scrap
material to become familiar with their usage.

Want to speed up the painting process? Paint the parts

before assembly by laying them out flat and painting them
with a roller. Also, to fill in the plywood edges that will be
visible on the front of your organizer, try spackling compound
or fast-drying drywall joint compound instead of wood filler.

knife, and you can sand them smooth easily when dry.

Drilling the Shelf Pins:

1. Set the fence on the Shelf Pin Jig for 54 mm setback.
2. Position the jig along the front edge of one box side and 191 mm from the bottom end.
3. Drill 6 shelf-pin holes.
4. Move the jig to the back edge, and then repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. Repeat this process for the other box side.
The shelf pin holes shown are optional. If you are using the hamper told hold a laundry
basket (it’s designed to hold a square basket), the holes are not needed. Add the shelf-
pin holes if you want to add a shelf instead, or if you think you might add one later.
To add the shelf-pin holes, first set up your Shelf Pin Jig according to the instructions that
Project Notes come with it. Then, center the shelf pin jig on the height of each side and drill the holes.

Using the Rip-Cut™ makes it easy to cut your pieces to size — just set the marker on the
measurement you need, and go. This works great for parts that measure less than 610 mm—
the maximum cutting capacity of the Rip-Cut™. On the tower, though, the sides are tall, which
means you can’t just set the Rip-Cut™ to the measurement.
To cut these parts, start by setting your Rip-Cut™ to the 95 mm measurement shown above.
Then set it to the next measurement (251 mm) to cut a shelf, then to 292 mm to cut the top. After

Materials List
These are the materials you’ll need to install the closet organizer as it is
shown on the cover of this plan.
Be sure to adjust your materials if you are building your organizer with a
different configuration.
(1) 2440 mm-long 19 mmx 89 mm boards

(used for attaching the boxes to the ledgers,
and to the other boxes. Includes extras.)
(25) #12x80 mm flathead wood screws or deck screws
(used for attaching the ledgers to wall studs. Includes extras.)
(3) 460 mm-760 mm adjustable closet rods
(3) sets of closet-rod supports
(10) heavy-duty drywall anchors (may vary)
Tools Required:
Circular saw, drill, tape measure, pencil or chalk line,
level, painting supplies
The installation procedures on the next few pages

detail how to install the closet organizer in a
standard 2440 mm-wide reach-in closet as it is
configured and shown on the cover of this plan.
If you are configuring your organizer differently,
Project Notes you’ll need to modify the installation accordingly.

All of the same principles still apply.

Installation
A Lower Ledger
To install your organizer, start by attaching the

lower ledger to the wall so that it is centered
on the closet wall (in an 2440 mm-wide closet,
you’ll have about 13 mm at each end), and the
TOP EDGE of the ledger sits 305 mm above the
Project Notes floor. Make sure the ledger sits level, and that it is
secured to the wall studs — not just to the drywall. DIY Tip
Before you start installing
the organizer, use a stud
finder to locate the studs in
your walls, and then mark
their locations.
You can mark them using
a pencil, or use a chalk
B Middle Ledger line. Chalk lines are highly
visible, and wipe away
easily with a damp sponge.
Project Notes
Before installing the middle
ledgers, double check the
overall height of your towers,
and position the ledgers so
that the tops of all the boxes
will sit at the same height.

also attach the boxes to
