After redoing a good deal of the wardrobe storage with some shelving, the hanging space was reduced somewhat, and what went from an acceptable amount of space for everything, diminished to 'enough'. This makes getting anything in or out a bit of a pain. Yes, i guess I could get rid of a few of the more colourful shirts (hah, what am I thinking) I do actually wear just about everything in there enough to justify it.
What does take up a big chunk of space is a load of trousers I've got for work/smart dress and ties. Apparently I have a lot more than I thought and getting them in and out on one of these multi rail hangers has got to the point where they usually slide off.
One can stay and replace all the individual trouser hangers to save some space, the other is going to move to a more useful space on the back of the door.
The hanger comes apart fairly easily into two parts. The plan is to use the ends of the normal hanger to hold the lower part and allow it to swing out.
Trimming the ends off gives two nice sized pieces to screw into the door.
And by turning the pins around on the end of the frame the pegs will hold into the frame of the door, not the panel.
Finally, rubber bands twisted around the rails allow the ties to be gripped much better and avoid slipping when the hanger is lifted.
The hanger installs on the back of the door and lies flat.
When you need a tie, lift the bottom and all the ties can be removed easily without pulling the others off the rails.
(Yes there are also some awful ties in here, blame fancy dress parties).
