Question 1

Can anyone give me a definite answer on whether this rack will fit a 2 inch thick door?  Thanks

Accepted Answer

I have used these shoe organizers in two different houses and now on a third.  Each time I have them installed differently depending on the space.  Only once have I actually installed them as directed over the door.  In one instance my contractor used a 1.5 inch think piece of wood, stained it to the color of my door and mounted it to the top of my solid wood door.  He than mounted the rack to the piece of wood.  Worked fabulously, keep in mind the door has to be solid wood to hold the weight of the shoes.  In a separate situation, (wish this allowed a picture I would show you), my contractor made the most incredible use of space by using an entire sheet of laminated wood (like those used for the back of a shelving unit in closet organizers).  He mounted the wood vertically in the closet secured by ball bearing sliders on the top (with a top shelf over it) and ball bearing slider on the bottom.  Then he installed 2 shoe racks on one each side of the laminated solid wood with the final result ending up in a system that the shoes pull out (with a hardware pull mounted on the end)!  I had two of these one for my husband and one for myself.  It was beautiful and held more than 200 shoes!  In the third situation, we used wood, the same as from our closet organizers and since that wood was not as thick as we needed it to be, he simply doubled the layer and mounted two pieces of wood on top of each other to create the thickness and sturdiness.  Then he mounted the shoes to the wall on those wood mounts.  I love these racks, they’re very handy, you just have to get a little creative depending on the space.  Hope this helps!

Question 2

How many pairs of size 6 shoes can one realistically fit flat on this rack (without stacking them or crowding them in)?

Accepted Answer

Sorry: I just counted 8 shelves. Didn't count 4 shelves that I have used to keep my shoes. If I keep only my wife's shoes then 36 pairs (flats and heals) will fit in this. This is an amazing shoe rack. I love it.

Question 3

do your shoes ever fall off when the door opens or closes?

Accepted Answer

Yes! It was a pain, right after I installed it and spent an hour sorting my wife's shoes and putting them in the rack. I closed the door, and then opened the door and the shoes all slid forward (because together they weigh more than the rack) and pushed the rack away from the door leaving only a big pile of shoes on the floor.

My solution was to use 6 small screws and physically attach the rack to the door. The mounting screws are not included with this product, but there are pre-drilled holes in the rack. Once the rack was physically attached to the door, we haven't had any more trouble with shoes falling off the rack.

Question 4

How to mount on wall

Accepted Answer

For anyone else wondering...mount a sturdy rod, like a towel bar, or curtain rod. I do this with a lot of my over the door storage items.
