I have plaster walls. Will this rack work?

Depends on whats behind your plaster, but Due to the number of coats and lathing, a plaster wall tends to be thicker than a drywall wall. I have Drywall with a veneer plaster finish.

Yes! We also have plaster walls and my husband had no problem attaching the rack to the wall!! Good luck!!

We have sheet rock. I would go with responses from customers who have plaster for the best advice.

I did use the screw-in anchors for drywall just to me safe. i do not intend to put a lot of weight in the racks, but secure is better.

If you're seating this directly into the drywall, I'd say yes. Although, if I recall correctly, the pre-drilled holes are spaced roughly sixteen(16) inches apart, so if you have flexibility in where you place the hanger, you can simply drive a screw into the stud on one end, level it, and the other hole should line up with the other stud.

Yes it will. Make sure you are drilling on wood stud or something that can hold the weight. Drywall won't be able to hold it.

Yes, bolt it to the studs and it should be great...........anchors in the wallboard itself will NOT work!

It did not work on the c. 1920 plaster walls in my house. It did work on one wall that has been updated with sheetrock.

I got the rack for clothes. If the dimensions are the same it should work. Try calling Whitmor if you're not sure.

I would recommend using a mason drill bit and mason screws to install this on a cement wall. When you put your rods in and you have to give a little bit of a pull when you take your rods of the rack, so I don't think glue will last long or really work out well IMO.

as long as you make sure that it's on the studs it will hold otherwise sheetrock is not strong enough to hold heavy load

You should be able to us this rack on wood- I don't see why not. You won't need to use the anchors that go into dry wall but do use the wood screws that come with it. Good luck!

Depends on the width of your wall. You would need to check the depth of the unit and room you have between your wall boards.

The amount of weight it holds depends on if you attach the wall standards (the uprights) to wood studs or not. It will not hold that much weight if attached to sheetrock only. My suggestion would be to look at the Seville closet organizers if you are worried about weight. For their larger systems, you get 2 shelf towers and 2 closet bars that hold a decent amount of weight. Plus you don't have to find any studs, as they are free standing units.

No. You can use drywall anchors. However the anchors that come with the rack are too light. I went to the hardware store and bought 100 lb anchors. It has been holding tight even though it is full and I have stuff on the top shelf.

The bracket that mount to studs/wall has multiple slots that span the entire width of bracket. It should work.

To be perfectly frank, I honestly do not know. However, based on the fact that I velcroed mine to the wall I am going to say 'no'. BUT, I could have done that because I have real plaster walls and I didn't want to make a mess out of them by drilling. Good luck!

It will hold them but it all depends on what the screws attaching it to the wall go into. If it's studs, you should be OK. You can get heavy duty wall anchors. The screws and plastic wall anchors that come with it won't do. The metal of the rack is not real thick. Over time, the rack may twist out from the weight. Keep in mind, you may be putting a lot of weight on a long run of metal that is only supported at each end. If you balance out the weight, heavy pans at the ends and lighter toward the middle, you should be ok. You'll need to be sensible of what you're asking a wide spread of minimally supported metal to do. At a minimum, you'll need to apply some common sense on attaching to the wall. You may want to get 2 smaller ones. Hope this helps.

Possibly, it depends on the type of wall. If the wall is the "horse hair plaster" type it will have horizontal wood lattice with the plaster attached to and between the lattice. If the hole drilled, is through the plaster AND the lattice it may just hold. On the other hand if the wall is just 1/2" sheetrock than its a coin toss. However I would try it anyway and mount something else (not the tv) of that weight capacity plus an additional 10 lbs (50lbs total) and see what happens. Goodluck!
