Looking for a DIY-friendly modular closet system you can hang in an afternoon? The ClosetMaid ShelfTrack kit is designed for exactly that. It mounts on a single top track, supports up to 60 lbs per shelf and gives you a full, coordinated setup without having to piece everything together. For a standard reach-in closet, it’s one of the most budget-friendly ways to get a complete, adjustable system.
The ClosetMaid configuration in this kit is designed for closets between 5 and 8 feet wide. At first glance it looks a lot like the Rubbermaid Closet Kit, but there’s one key difference: instead of telescoping shelves, ShelfTrack includes full-length wire shelves that you cut to size with a hacksaw. That gives you a more custom fit along the back wall and side returns.
Because the layout is fully adjustable, you can reconfigure the shelves and hanging sections for long dresses, coats, shirts, folded sweaters, denim stacks, handbags, shoe boxes and even baskets. If you’re planning a small entryway closet makeover or updating a standard bedroom closet, this system gives you plenty of flexibility as your wardrobe changes.
Note: ShelfTrack isn’t just for bedroom closets. The open wire shelves work beautifully in a pantry, laundry room or utility area because they keep items visible and allow plenty of airflow — a big plus for cleaning products, bulk food or linens.
Useful ShelfTrack Accessories to Upgrade Your Closet
One of the biggest perks of the ShelfTrack line is how easy it is to add matching accessories later. You can clip hanging baskets under existing shelves for scarves, clutches, workout gear or pantry snacks without changing the basic layout.
To keep tiny items from tipping over, ClosetMaid also offers shelf liners sized for the wire shelves. They’re especially handy on a shoe shelf if you own stilettos, or in a linen closet where you want smooth support for towels and bins. For even more ideas, you can browse additional modular closet accessories and add-ons to mix and match with this kit.
How to Install a ShelfTrack Closet System (Step by Step)
1. The ShelfTrack starter kit arrives with everything you need for a basic 5–8 foot closet: the horizontal hang track, vertical standards, brackets, SuperSlide shelves, closet rods, rod supports and drywall anchors. You supply the tools and decide how you want to lay out the hanging and shelving sections.
Follow the installation video below for a clear walkthrough of the mounting process and layout options:
2. Tool-wise, installation is very manageable. You’ll typically need a drill, screwdriver, tape measure and level. If your closet is narrower than the full shelf length, keep a hacksaw or metal-cutting saw on hand so you can trim the wire shelves to fit. Mark studs where possible for stronger support.
3. Once the hang track is level and secured, the rest of the system works like building blocks. The vertical standards hook onto the track, the brackets clip into the standards and the shelves drop onto the brackets. The hanging rods then snap into place beneath the shelves without extra hardware. It’s the same basic structure used in many adjustable modular closet systems.
Note: After the main frame is up, you can move shelves up or down, shift sections left or right and tweak the layout for long-hang vs. double-hang as your wardrobe changes. The adjustability is what makes ShelfTrack so forgiving in both reach-in and small walk-in closets.
