Triton Products Pegboard Mounting and Spacer Kit for Wall and Garage Organization, Zinc-Plated Steel, 16 Pieces

It’s been fun organizing my garage and getting pegboards. Wasn’t too bad to install.

Works great with 1/4" holes in your pegboard. Spacers kept falling off of screws, so I used a magnet on the outside of pegboard. (Spacers on back off pegboard) Slid the spacers over in place and screwed them in! Worked out great!

These are a lot better than the black plastic spacers.

Put a square of double stick carpet tape (or similar) on the wall over your holes. punch through to show the holes. Then stick the spacers right on the wall, centered over each hole. It's so much easier to locate your panels with the screws this way. By the way I've installed 4 panels and 2 packs of spacers already and for some of them I had to use other anchors/ screws since those yellow supplied anchors in the Spacer Kit(s) simply buckled when I tried to push them into the holes I made in gypsum board (they worked okay when I put them into another wall that was just basic wallboard. I used "self drilling" anchors (but I pre-drilled holes which works better) into the gypsum sheetrock, and they were metal anchors (the nylon ones work too) so I didn't use the yellow anchors or the thick screws supplied with that particular installation. Otherwise, the included screws and anchors work. If you use the included screws (that screw snugly into the pegboards) they will be hard to manipulate into position. -Which means that you have to make darn sure that your holes and "lining up your screw aim) is spot on straight. That's not so easy. Hopefully using my experience will help you if you run into any trouble, and make your job go smoothly. All in all I would certainly get this kit again, and the Triton plastic pegboards; I only wish they sold the spacers themselves as a separate item, because frankly the screws are a matter of preference (I do not prefer them and I'm not alone) and those yellow anchors are just garbage (unless the wall is very soft material). Besides, plastic anchors are notoriously weak, finicky and prone to buckling and thus losing their effectiveness for performing their holding job. I like "self drilling" anchors- they are secure and have more holding strength than any other kind of molly in my opinion and they go in easily and simply, and firmly.

Made for easy pegboard installation. Kept me from having to make my own spaces for Sheetrock wall mounting.

I am very happy these worked. A little hard to get the middle in if using a large sheet of peg board. Mine was 7' tall and 4' wide but if you can bend the board you can make it work. It's the perfect distance from the wall, all the pegs fit in the holes with the gap the spacers create. I highly recommend it. We'll be buying more for the garage now that my craft room is done.

Exactly what we needed to hang pegboards for storing yarn :)

The kit was usable. The screws are oversized, way larger than needed for any load you'd expect to put on a pegboard. Since the screws are large, the anchors are large, which means that you have to drill 5/16" holes in the wall. That's kinda large. The screws are also a tight fit through the pegboard holes. Some reviewers said that they didnt' fit. I suspect that they expected the screws to slide through those holes, but they won't. However, they will screw through. The worst error is in the instructions, which would have you mount the spacers in the wrong direction. Per instructions, this would mean that tightening the screw tends to pull the anchor out of the wall. When properly oriented, the spacer presses against the anchor. In this way, tightening the screw expands the anchor, improving its grip in the wall. Also, the correct orientation places the wide side of the spacer against the pegboard, which distributes the force across a wider area , which is good, because the pegboard is more flexible than the wall. See photos where I've noted the wrong and the right.
