I had to purchase extra hooks because my original hooks broke, so the whole thing fell down. Make sure to use more than what is recommended for added support.

As stated by the previous two reviews, mine broke and Lowe's nor Home Depot have them in stock so now I have to pay extra for shipping!!!! Now, I know to put twice as many as they recommend. I'll be putting twice as many as before. Take note and add extras before your's break!

The only reason I'm even buying new ones is that it's much quicker/easier than installing a whole new bar. But I'll definitely be doing that at some point. And it won't be a Closetmaid. Unfortunately, this brand is sold at both Home Depot and Lowe's.

Perfect brace to stailize my overstuffed closet heavy and sagging under the weight of my wardrobe?
Have placed them every 12" and now my closet is much stronger and I don't fear it's collapse.

Our closet rods are 12 years old so it was difficult to find parts at the local stores. I was happy to be able to order on line and the ended up being cheaper when finally purchased. The arrived when expected. Easy to install.

These work perfectly with old Closet-maid systems. I put in extra supports after one bar fell down earlier this year.

We bought two ClosetMaid SuperSlide 6' by 12" inch shelf kits. The product looked good and the price was right. When we got it home, we found the hardware for hanging the shelves was incomplete. (ClosetMaid does not, for example, supply mounting screws, only "pin"s for attaching the shelves to walls.) We took extra time and care and hung the two kits in about 2 1/2 hours.

One fell and then the other. I'm sure they would hold a light load, but anyone paying to "upgrade" a closet is expecting to come away with some serious storage.
We went to a home improvement center and purchased another $20 in hardware and rehung the two kits. They won't come down now, but I would have liked to have instructions and hardware equal to the reality of the job.

These support hooks from Closet Maid are made very poorly. We installed them every 18 inches, closer than what is recommended, and they have failed. They break where the bracket goes over the wire shelf. They are made out of resin and because the shelves are flimsy and flex, there is a side load on this cheap little part. Had we known this, we would never have bought any of this Closet Maid system, but now we are stuck with it. We will probably design some type of Rube Goldberg support system using 2 x 4's to support the wire mesh of the shelves. If you have not yet put any shelving in your closet, do NOT buy Closet Maid.

By the way, if you hang a normal clothing load on this shelving system, the places in between the brackets sag considerably. It looks terrible, to say nothing of what it does to the support hooks. What a terrible system overall made with such cheap material. Would have rated "0" stars but system won't allow.

UPDATE: We now have the replacement hooks. Though the part number is the same, they are even more badly made than the originals. The U-shaped channel into which the closet rod fits is made of a thinner plastic than the original. Result: if you use one of the new ones between two of the old ones, the bar does not rest in the channel of the new one. In other words, the old ones hold the bar about 1/8 inch higher than the new ones. So the weight will continue to rest on the old ones until they break and then then the weight will fall on the new ones. Great- they save a tiny bit of money and we pay for it. I'm calling a carpenter, which I should have done in the first place.

Great experience, using product which was extremely easy to install. I would recommend this product to anyone. Received product very quickly after placing my order.

I could not find these in the store anymore so I ordered 6 to redo my closet hanger. They work fine but were not Amazon prime and seemed to take a while to get to my house.
