How big are the hooks for the top rail? My closet rail is thicker than standard so I cannot use small gauge hangers on it.

THE HOOK/CURVED AREA IS 1.5 " WIDE. However, I have to amend my initial review regarding the stability of the bottom rack. My initial review addressed that the "holders" for the bottom rack did not support the weight of the clothes, and I used duct tape to reinforce them. That did not work. I suggest when you determine the length of the bottom rack, that you drill a small hole and use a screw to hold that rack in place. As I am not really proficient with doing that, I am going to try fiber-fix, which is stronger than duct tape. Hope this is helpful.

As the other person said, the hook's diameter is about 1.5", but it will probably fit on a rod up to 1.75" in diameter as the hook doesn't curve all the way to the "9 o'clock" position. One note, if the bottom bracket doesn't support the weight of clothes, the bracket is on incorrectly (upside down). When assembled correctly, it supports at least 60 lbs. We have a bunch of clothes on the bottom and I've caught my kids hanging on it.

It works with regular hangers just fine. I buy the plastic ones..works great.

I do believe the screws are about 5/8" long, but when you take into account the thickness of the hook itself, you should be alright.

I used 2" #8 pan head wood screws in the wall studs for the top hanging rail to carry most of the weight and the included screws for the standards. I don't trust wall anchors to support the amount of weight that will be loaded on the system. I don't remember the size of the included screws.

These are what I consider to be standard width hangers. They are not a skimpy size. They are heavy-weight plastic. Note that they are smooth and unnotched, so I think a scoop-neck garment could slip off despite their size.

The ladder comes with two sets of hooks. The ones that hook over the rail are 2in. There are also exchangeable hooks that mount into brackets that you mount to the side of the rail. Hope this helps!

The hooks on this system are standard style. If yours are non-standard, then this will not work. Hope this helps!

I used the largest size on one of those kids band looms when younger if that's the type you mean. Not ideal but works, most loom hooks are longer/thinner with a deeper hook. A modified wire coat hanger works better for that.

If you're not good with the metric system (like me), here's the "American" translation: the hooks measure about 3/16 inch in diameter.

Per Classic Store Fixtures.. This rack is 20 inches wide on the bottom frame and 60" long on the Hang-Rail. Your average Hanger is 17" wide so the base is a little wider then than the garment you are hanging. Also be careful who you buy this rack from there are many on amazon advertising the commercial version but do not really sell the true commecial grade version of this Garment RackthanksBen Elkins Classic Store Fixtures

The capacity of each hook is approximately 100 lbs. The further out on the hook the less capacity. It is important to use metal screws (not wood screws) to attach. Make sure you are securing to at least two (2) inch material (2"x4" or 2"x6"). Put in a number screws per hanger.

I just measured mine, and from the wall it measures about 11.5 inches to the center of the cross bar. If I measure from the side support frame, it's 11 inches. I also measured my hangers (regular plastic or wooden with metal top) and they measure 11 from one side to the center hook. I haven't had any issues with mine - sorry yours might be a knock off...because this is absolutely an amazing quick closet. I know I currently have over 100 lbs on it (not recommended) but it's not even taxed.

Per Classic Store Fixtures.. The hang-rail on this rack is 60" ( 5 ft), your average coat is about 3-4 inches wide so you could say around 20 coats will fit easily. That does depend on the size of the coats your hanging. Also be careful who you buy this rack from there are many on amazon advertising the commercial version but do not really sell the true commecial grade version of this Garment RackthanksBen Elkins Classic Store Fixtures

I'm using them on a 1-1/4" rod and they fit. If the rod is 2" there will be a gap which can face the back of the closet if you are okay with that. They work very well for sliding hangers. My old rods were wood and gave me splinters.

Per Classic Store Fixtures.. Yes there is, what you are really askingis "when hanging clothes on both hang-rails, is there proper space so the hangers do not touch". Yes there is, a standard clothing hanger is 17" long/ wide and we/our rack manufaturer took that into accout when this double bar rack was designed. Also a standard pant/skirt hanger is 14" long/wide. So you will have NO PROBLEM when double hanging on this rack. I would say the space between the two hang-rails is 18 1/2 inches wide. Also be careful whom you buy this Double Bar Salesman rack from on amazon, Alot of sellers advertise the commercial grade version of the Single & Double Bar Collapisble Salesman Rack but actually sale the cheaper knock-off version. That is made of a thiner steel tubing and not a solid clothing rack, meaning it comes apart in more places than just the top bar detaching from the rack. The entire bottom part of the rack should be one solid peice to rate as a true commercial grade rack. thanks Ben Elkin Classic Store Fixtures

Offhand, I would say that smaller hangers would not work because the organizer offers a fairly snug fit for the run-of-the-mill standard-size hangers. Perhaps if I knew the length of the hanger bar for the hanger in question, and the height of the apex above the bar, I could give a more definitive answer. Maybe you can hook the smaller hangers along the bottom of the protruding arms, alternating from one arm to the other, but there must be less expensive ways to do this - a shelf bracket. for example..

If you mean the diameter is 1 inch, I do not think these hooks are big enough. Don't have them in front of me so cannot give the inside diameter.
