The Origin 21 17.5-inch 5-peg rail is designed for wall mounting. The maximum load capacity for this rail is 35 lbs (15.88 kg). Installation requires basic tools including a drill, drill bits, a screwdriver, a level, and a pencil. Ensure you check for hidden electrical wiring or plumbing before drilling into the wall.
Preparation and tools
Before beginning installation, verify that all parts are present. The package includes the rail, screws, anchors, and hole covers. The following tools are required but not included:
- Drill
- Drill bits (3/32 in. for wood, 5/16 in. for drywall)
- Phillips screwdriver
- Level

Installation instructions
Step 1: Marking
Temporarily place the rail in the desired location on the wall. Use a level to ensure it is straight and mark the mounting hole locations with a pencil.
Step 2a: Solid wood or wood stud installation
Remove the rail from the wall. Drill 3/32 in. pilot holes at the marked locations. Secure the rail to the surface using the provided screws.
Step 2b: Drywall installation
Remove the rail from the wall. Drill 5/16 in. pilot holes at the marked locations. Insert the provided anchors into the holes, then secure the rail using the screws.
Step 3: Finishing
Once the rail is secured to the mounting surface, you may optionally place the hole covers into the screw holes on the rail to conceal the screw heads.
Safety and maintenance
To maintain the durability of the finish on the hooks and the rail, clean it annually with a lightly damp cloth or towel using water only. It is also recommended to double-check all connections and re-tighten all screws and anchors on an annual basis.
