how long are the screws for these shelves, or how long drill bit will you need ?

They are lag bolts I would say about 31/2 inch i belive I used a 3/8 for pilot hold and used a socket and my drill with hex bolt attachment to drive them in the stud they are very stout
1185076
they are around an 1-1/" to 2" . A standard 3/4" drill bit will do it for you.

I think they were about 4" or so long (6 per shelf)...they are basically lag bolts. If you have a 12 volt or better screw gun, you can screw them right into the stud with the proper bit...

The screws were about an inch long. Too long to use on a cabinet door. I mounted mine on a cabinet door using two 3M hooks on the top rail. Stays on even when the cabinet door is opened and closed, although it does sway a bit.

Please see my review (end of May/beginning of June 2013)--I STRONGLY suggest an 11/32" drill bit for the best fit. Other sizes work; however, you may need to adapt the container or your installation process. As everyone else states, it is difficult to get these installed into certain containers & it's worth every penny!

Mounting screws that come with the shelf should be able to mount to a 5/8" desk. However, I cannot guarantee, as I just reused the mounting screws that already came with my desk.

I am at a beach house until next weekend and can give a better answer then but I have used them on standard shelving board which is not more than 1" thick, more probably 3/4". They are a snug fit on that. Ikea also has them and they specify 3/4".http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00220342/ I would guess 3/4" is a standard. Another option would be standard library bookends. Drill a hole and fix in place with a single screw. Wood partitions would be nice with 2 screws inserted from below but would be more trouble to keep moving around and would decrease storage space by their thickness..

Yes you have to drill holes or use nails. There is no way to have shelves without making some holes.

Tiny. My organizers are installed so I can't check the length, but I'd guess roughly 1/2 inch. (This might sound silly, but you'll find them taped to the back of the cardboard label on the organizer, so don't think you got slighted and they're not included--they're tiny and not obvious until you search for them!) Sorry for not being exact. If a kid were to hang on the organizers the screws would eventually pull out. (The organizer would probably bend too.) If mine ever do come off (I've got little kids around) and I need to reinstall the organizer, I'll end up buying molly bolts or some other type of anchor so I can use the same holes. I don't know where you plan to install your organizers--a solid door, sheetrock, thin door, etc. I installed mine on a pantry door that has a hollow core. They've been up for about 5-6 weeks and get constant use. So far I don't have any loosening of the screws at all, so I'm happy. You can drill a pilot hole for the screw, which I suggest because it makes hanging it easier. If you don't have a drill you can make a pilot hole with a hammer and nail (just make sure you don't go through the other side of a cabinet door!). I'm not sure you can hang them on something super thin without mounting them to something else first, and then mounting that board to the thin one with something like construction adhesive. Where the screw goes is a u-shaped place and the screw rests on the wire around it, making it snug and tight so the holder won't slide left or right, or up or down. It's very stationary. Hope this helps. :)

Yes, it's a piece of cake - use steel drill bit to drill through cabinet and into wall stud, make sure you use the correct cabinet mounting screws that hold up to 50-100lbs. They are generally black, phillips head, coarse thread and the one's i used were about 2" long. You can also use washers under the screw head if it makes you feel better - I didn't need to with the one's I have as the heads themselves are quite large.

You'll have to use 5mm shelf pegs. Standard shelf pegs are alittle bigger at 1/4 inch. I found that 5mm pegs are easily found at home depot or even here on amazon.

The holes are right about 1/4" in diameter. I used torq headed (star) deck screws, screwed into a stud and they are very sturdy. Hope this helps.

Too long. Use other screws. I covered this in my review when I posted it. Nobody's cabinets are as long as these screws. Can't measure them. We threw them out.

I had to get a long 2X4, had to replace the top polls. I cut a few pieces in different lengths and then I drilled holes and put screws with bolts. Be sure to get the right size screws so that it doesn't punch threw to long. Some places I was able to just use long nails. I hope I was able to help. I pretty much had to put new polls in for extra support. Although I did have to elimanite one shelf. I wish there was a way that I can send you a picture of mine. If you were to replace the polls you can get rope and wrap it around the 2X4.

I i used a drill with a phillips bit from underneath, into the ShelfLinks and thru the wood.i used a clamp to secure all of it and had it laying on the floor. The holes are predrilled in the plastic.

I do not remember the length of the screws, but my desk is only an inch thick to give you an idea and I really didn't have any issue installing it.

Two ways either use lag bolts (real heavy screws) or drill through the material and install bolts with washers under bolt head and use lock washers for nut. I used latter suggestions with no problems. This shelf is a dream and very easy to install. David Van Hooser, Miihobby, LLC 601-941-5841

if they're long enough, I had to drill and use the screws that came with them

If you have a drill you could add holes to put the shelf where you need it. The unit is fairly sturdy, and may be okay without those 2 pieces. you may be able to use the back support in front where the front of the shelf is screwed in. as I recall, all the screws/holes were the same. I also added wood glue when i put mine together. not too helpful I know, but like I said, the unit is very sturdy.
