Choosing The Right Hangers & Wall Storage

Wall Type and Fixing Method: Consider what you're mounting to. Masonry walls accept wall plugs and screws for heavy-duty installations, whilst plasterboard requires special fixings. If drilling isn't possible—in rental properties, for instance—Command adhesive strip solutions offer damage-free alternatives suitable for lighter loads.

Weight Requirements: Always check the load capacity of hangers and hooks against the weight of items you're storing. Magnetic strips typically handle lighter hand tools, whilst heavy-duty wall panels and French cleat systems suit larger, heavier equipment. Factor in a safety margin rather than loading to maximum capacity.

Accessibility and Workflow: Position frequently-used tools at comfortable working height and within arm's reach of your main workspace. Group related tools together to streamline workflow and reduce time spent searching for items.

Environment: For outdoor sheds, garages or damp environments, choose corrosion-resistant materials. Stainless steel or powder-coated options from brands like Draper offer better longevity in challenging conditions.

Safety Information

Always verify that wall fixings are appropriate for your wall type and the weight being supported. Overloading hooks or mounting to unsuitable surfaces can result in failure and falling objects. When using adhesive strip systems, ensure surfaces are clean and dry before application, and allow recommended bonding time before loading. For heavy items above workspaces, mechanical fixings provide more reliable long-term security than adhesive solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What weight can magnetic tool holders support?

Capacity varies by size and magnet strength, typically ranging from 3kg to 15kg. The Bunker 350mm Magnetic Tool Holder Strip, for example, securely holds multiple hand tools simultaneously. Always distribute weight evenly along the strip rather than concentrating heavy items in one spot.

Can I use adhesive strip hooks on textured walls?

Command adhesive strips work best on smooth, clean surfaces like painted walls, tiles, glass and metal. They may not adhere reliably to textured wallpaper, rough plaster or porous surfaces. For textured walls, traditional screwed fixings provide more secure mounting options.

How do I remove adhesive strip products without damaging paint?

Command strips are designed for damage-free removal. Grasp the bottom of the strip and stretch it slowly downwards along the wall surface (not outwards) until the adhesive releases. Never pull the strip away from the wall at an angle.
