I want to use a closet to mount the murphy bed. Will that work?

If your closet is big enough, I'm sure it could be made to work. Follow directions and dimensions closely else you will have plenty of problems.

The short answer is "no" not on a regular clothes rod in a closet. But what a great idea! Thanks to your question I am going to build in a smaller dowel to do just that. Clever you!

I have never used it inside a closet, but I would recommend it be mounted to the wall. I currently use it for very heavy books and she's and it works well

I can't imagine it not working with any closet system as it attaches with only two hidden screws pretty much anywhere you have wood or some other sturdy backing. It could possibly even be mounted to drywall though you'd need anchor bolts or something similar. My answer is "yes"....it would work.

I would not recommend it. It is pretty dense and would be hard to roll up tight enough to fit in a closet. Plus it is really heavy. When it comes in the mail it is compressed, but it grows quite big once it is out of the box.

I think that should work. I used it to hang doors that run on the outside of a closet, so this is similar to what I think you are trying to do. The 2x6 (which is really 1-1/2 inches thick) should be thick enough to mount the rail to, or really close to it. There will be about 1 inch vertical gap between the top edge of the door and the bottom edge of the track, so you may need something to cover that space. Let me know if you want pictures of the way it worked for me.

Absolutely. Try this on the opposing door: Ives by Schlage 221B15 Closet Flush Pull.

you must screw the hangar board to the studs in the wall.By doing so you can hang your mantle on it and put what ever you want on it.It will support a lot of weight.

Yes, but you will have to trim the bed liner around the brackets.There is a video on YouTube that shows you how.

I suppose it could with wall anchors. but it is intended to fit closet system holes perfectly with shelf self tapping screws.

It depends on how you build yours cabinet. I had a cabinet maker build a mission style oak cabinet that doesn't look like a murphy bed at all. Instead of looking face on at 5/8 inch plywood sides, we built a substantial frame so it looks like a large freestanding cabinet. Mine is 65 inches wide all told, but it could be a few inches less if you follow the instructions that come with the bed.

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

Its for a 2000K+ lb. winch so I don't think it would have a problem with a murphy bed but I could not help but chuckle at your application-Good luck

I could not swear to it but I think so. When I installed it it had many choices on where and how to install. I ended up buying four of them. I am not certain whether our closets are the California closets because we bought a house that someone else built but the closets look very similar. I added other rev-a-shelf accessories and they all worked and, again, I could see they would be adaptable to many types of closet styles. Good luck! (I am female and did this alone and it was quite easy.)

Yes. That is how I mounted mine. One person setup and pretty easy if you have the right tools. Make sure you get a stud in the ceiling.Looks sharp!

Well, you can but it would be big and bulky.You would also need to find something to tie it yourself because its not made to be portable. But, as long as your closet is big enough, it should without problem.

Sorry I can't be of help. This item was so big and heavy that I haven't found a place to put it that would work and be convenient for me. It's just sitting in my closet waiting for me to have a brainstorm.
