How to Install Wooden Closet Rods
- 1). Slide a stud finder on each wall where the ends of the rod will be mounted. Mark the location of the stud on each wall that is nearest to the desired location for the rod, using a pencil.
- 2). Ask a helper to hold one-half of the closet rod flange set on the wall at each stud marking at the approximate height that you desire to mount the rod. Place one end of the rod into the closed flange and pivot the rod down into the opened flange to rest it in place while your helper holds the flanges against the wall.
- 3). Place a level across the top of the rod and have your helper adjust the position of the flanges until the rod is level. Remove the level and mark the mounting hole locations in the flanges onto the wall. Remove the closet rod and have your helper set the flanges aside.
- 4). Position one flange against the wall so that the mounting holes line up with the pencil marks. Drive the screws that were included with the flange set through the mounting holes into the wall stud with a screw gun. Repeat this process to install the remaining flange. Make sure that the U-shaped flange has the opening facing up when you install it.
- 5). Place one end of the closet rod into the closed flange and pivot it down into the open U-shaped flange to rest it in place.
