Coat Rack with a bit of Wall Protection

Materials: Molger Floor Decking and Attest Knobs

Description: Normal coat hooks near the door have always had the problem of buttons, zips, etc. scrapping the walls so we wanted a different solution.

Our answer was to use four Molger floor decking panels with 10 (5 packs of 2) Attest knobs as coat hooks - other knobs are available!

Simply decide on the layout for the knobs and drill a suitable size hole for each knob - we did them in two rows so there are grand-children height hooks as well. The bolts to attach the knobs will need shortening as they are designed for a thicker board - just use a hacksaw and cut to required length. I put a nut on the bolt before cutting so that it helps clean the thread after cutting.

The Molgers are simply mounted on the wall using two butterfly or cavity wall fixings per Molger in the centre.

Coat hanger shelf

Materials: EKBY BJ�RNUM brackets (28 cm), EKBY TONY shelf, ATTEST handle (hole spacing 224 mm), 2 new screws - must be a bit longer than the ones included with the handle

Description: This one is pretty easy. The hacky part is using a door handle as the coat hanger rack.

Buy two new screws from your local hardware store (bring the screws included with the handle so you know what to look for). The new screws must be a little bit longer, try measuring the included screws up against the shelfs thickness.

Cut the shelf to the desired length.

Use a tape measure find the center of the shelf and mark two spots (224 mm apart) where you should drill. Ikea also sells templates to help you mark the two spots with the correct distance, if you are at not completely comfortable with this part.

Double check your measurements, you only get one chance so get it right.

Drill!

Simply follow the included instructions to mount one of the door handles on the shelf, like you would on a wardrobe door.
