Can I place the hooks in the wood plank gap closest to the wall, or do they have to be in the gap farthest from the wall?

You can place them in any of the slots...just depends on how much room you need between what is hanging from it and the wall

I placed mine in the gap farthest from the wall for my large pans and as the pots got smaller I placed them closer to the wall. You can put them anywhere you want to. Experiment.

You can place the hooks anywhere, but I went with them all on the farthest gap.

The hooks can be removed if you don't want to use all of them, however I certainly use them all because most of my utensils have the holes for hanging. I put more than one tool on a hook as they are big enough for that. This leaves room in drawers for other things and not as much noise when opening. As far as distance from wall almost 2" the bar is, however you want that to easily slide hooks left or right because bottom of utensil might take up space so this allows you to slide to make room.

I bolted mine directly too wood wall. I don't recall the spacing of the bolt holes

You could try a 3M hook. Sorry, there is no way to know for sure what will work for your wall.

No. That wouldn't be a safe option. This item is meant for a side rail to be screwed to the wood plank the comes with it. I wouldn't suggest using this item in that way

I think they go between the piece and the wall. I used the hook side but the round side is very hard to get under the piece. It is a bad design. Don't drop the very small set screw as it holds it all together.

You could, but you would need to make some kind of extension to full the gap between the two halves - they will work with a wall thickness up to about one or 1.5 inches, after that you need to make a "tube" of some type to cover the distance between the two ends. I did this out of wood and it worked great.

Very good question,I can relate to this question.I usually use the ladder hooks with only one section of ladder.I hope I was able to answer your concerns.Have a great day!!

Yes, you can leave the hangers in the holes. The hangers will lie pretty flat against the wall.

I was able to line up 1 set of vertical mounting holes on a wall stud and used 4" lag bolts. It's also on the side of a closet, so the location might discourage prying efforts.

There are 3 1/2 inches between the hooks. The entire board is ten inches long.

I don't see why not. You are putting the brackets where you want them so it shouldn't make any difference which direction the board is hanging.

the hooks would be sideways if put on a horizontal bar, so i don't think that will work for you

An interesting question, and in this case it doesn't really matter because the wood frame that the hooks would be attached to isn't square or level. Therefore, hooks or not, it would not hang straight.

I have several on a shelf I mounted on the wall. They are partly open in the back, so you could try putting 2 picture hanger-type hooks in the wall (level and about 7 1/2" apart) and catching the back of the unit on the hooks. I'm not sure how secure this would be, so I'd squeeze the hook as tight as possible to make it hold snuggly. I'd give it a good firm wiggle & tug before putting anything in it. Don't use it if it's not really secure; you don't want it falling off the wall once it's loaded. A shelf might be better.I think if you try to drill holes in the plastic it will crack the plastic.

Good question! The hooks I ordered with the wall units were 1/4" which are loose in the holes but they came with some retainer clips which hold them fairly steady. These clips came with the hooks.

Whatever you normally would with whatever type of hanger you would use normally. The hook part is the thing that's out of the wall, so the stuff just plops onto that instead of a nail.
