Frequently Asked Questions

What type material is used in Garagemaid products?

Blow Molded High Density Polyethylene – A very durable and heavy duty method of forming resin into products ideal for a garage atmosphere. Virtually maintenance free – will never rust, rot, warp or require painting. This material can simply be cleaned with household cleaners and a water hose. Unaffected by spilled chemicals typically stored in a garage.

How much weight will the shelves support?

The adjustable shelves in the cabinets will support approximately 20 lbs. The 4 fixed shelves in the cabinets and the 42″ Long Shelf will support in excess of 100 lbs each.

Is the Garagemaid system freestanding?

No, the Garagemaid system is designed to be mounted to studs in the garage wall and cannot perform adequately without being mounted correctly. However, this can be done by simply using a stud finder to locate and mark studs and then using a screwdriver to attach system permanently to wall. Once attached, Garagemaid is extremely stable and will provide years of attractive storage space.

Cabinets are shown without doors or drawers in the lower sections. Are these other items available as “accessories” if desired?

Yes, the lower sections of the cabinet are left vacant to give the homeowner the option of how they want to use the lower halves of the cabinets. They can choose to add 8″ Drawers which are available in the stores or can special order additional doors for the lower sections by going to garagemaid.com.

Are all of the Garagemaid items interconnecting?

Yes, as you can see by the suggested configurations in this brochure, the consumer can combine cabinets, shelves, drawers and slat wall in a multitude of different ways to create their own “custom” project. And components feature interlocking components so the assembly process of these combinations can be done in minutes rather than hours. These interlocking components also insure very strong and durable connections.

What kind of tools will I need?

Only a level, stud finder and screwdriver are required. A rubber mallet sometimes comes in handy but is not required.

Can I do this by myself?

Yes, one person should be able to assemble and install the Garagemaid system. Components are lightweight – each time a component is assembled, it remains in place without being held until the next step is completed!

Can I add to my system at some point in the future?

Yes. On each end of your completed Garagemaid project there will be connections which will allow you to at some point add to what you had already completed.

Can I easily disassemble my Garagemaid system if I want to move them to another location or new residence?

Yes.
