Can you shorten the rack by leaving out one section? If so, what would be the length? I need this for a 63 inch door.

Ys you can omit a section. That's what I did. The length is approx 48 inches

yes, you can leave out a middle section, of which there are two - and with out measuring, would say you'll shorten unit by about 18 inches.

I just measured the brackets from edge to edge. Their is a total of 48" in spacing. This fits my 7' bar with about 2-3" on both sides. I agree with A. Eckert, that it's probably impossible to rack a 6' bar. Hope this helps.

Technically yes.... The middle extension is male on one end and female on the other so adding a section should work Fine. My concern would be its rigidness once together which I think would be fine but you would have to be strategic with where you place your existing cross bars that you mount the rack to, so to maximize support and rigidness. I highly recommend this rack! Great product for the money!

I live in a travel trailer so the doors are a lot shorter then most. I measured my door and it is 74". If your door is more then an inch shorter this product won't work for you. I had to removed the brackets and bring them in or down (depending on how you look at it) for this to work on my door.

It would not be possible to cut the width from the doors. I did need to trim the top and bottom of mine since my opening was only. 72 inches

I'd have to take it out to measure this, which I don't want to do. But, the shorter section of the rod is 34", making the longer section at least 38" to fit in a 72" door. I'm guessing it would fit a 40" door. If not, just send it back. Or, call the manufacturer to find out.

The kit details assembly instructions for the door to be at either end but may be modified by shifting the uprights to accommodate the width of the door in the sides ..BUT ...the door would have to be shorter in height since the dimension at the eaves is only 66" and the door frame is 72".

NO. It fits perfectly on a 1 3/8" door. You'd have to bend out the hangers too much I believe.

The width of the rack is almost 17 1/2 inches so will not fit if you only have 14" to clear the door handle.

Yes, technically, I am sure you can leave out any two of the lower dividers, but it might impact the integrity due to the weight distribution. You cannot leave out all, because it will be impossible to keep the rack together with only the back plywood holding the weight. On the other hand I would not advise leaving out either of the end pieces as I don't recall if that exposes unfinished particle board edges. I also would not leave out more than one of the divider, again not sure how much structural impact it will create in the middle. The doors are independent of the dividers. BTW, they are sliding doors.

My door is 1 1/2 inches thick and it fits perfectly, I think yours might be too thick, looking at the brackets does not look like they can be stretched out to fit, unless you just find different ones for it???? Hoped this helped.

Yes, my door measures at 36". At first it looks a little small but when you're using all 36" there's no need to cut. What I did was attach it to the door with the tubes installed but not put together with the plastic piece that attaches them. Once I had both ends attached to the door, I then put the tubes together and the fabric stretched out.

No. it has a rigid base that will not allow you to shorten it however the ends do have rods that will allow you to expand the top. Overall it's a very nice rack and heavy duty at an excellent price.

If the door is over 7 feet in height you will need the extension. It replaces a shorter part of the bar and the belt. Its easy enough to install - but I would prefer that they sell a model for 8 foot doors - as I am paying some for a part I can't use.

This won't work as the bracketry is too wide for your cabinet. You can shim out a wider cabinet but can't reduce the width of this product.

There is about an inch of frill at the top (above the tension rod). So, you can easily lower the tension rod on the door frame to get the extra length needed.All the best ... Jeffrey A. (Jeff)
