Tools and Hardware Reviews of Racor IMH-2R Interchange Walldock Multi-Use Rack
Customer Review: This product is a lawsuit waiting to happen
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered this product as I needed a simple multi-use rack for storing something in my garage. At the time I placed my order I did not notice that it used the interchange dock system. The interchange dock system is a flimsy piece of plastic that mounts to a stud. There is another (even flimsier) piece of plastic that has a tab, a plastic "spring" and a red button that can be slid down to release the tab and allow the rack to separate from the dock.
This is an accident (and possibly lawsuit) waiting to happen. The red plastic button requires very little force to pull down and I could easily see this being something a child would want to do, resulting in a large and heavy object (plus the rack) coming off the wall and injuring them or someone else.
The other issue I have is that the latching mechanism itself looks very cheap and frail. I would be concerned that after repeated stress the low quality plastic could eventually fail, resulting in someone being injured, a vehicle being damaged by a falling object, etc. It doesn't help that there is a lot of play between the dock and the rack when properly installed. This play could lead to a stress fracture over time resulting in this product failing.
If Racor really cared they would offer a way to "lock out" the tab so it could not be accidentally released, as well as making the materials out of something sturdier like steel. That might add a dollar or two to the price but would make it less likely that someone would be hurt by this cheaply produced (in China of course) piece of equipment.
Description of Racor IMH-2R Interchange Walldock Multi-Use Rack
Store ladders, lumber, rope, baby strollers, furniture, and more up tight against the wall with this multi-use rack from Racor. The rack is equipped with a large hook on top for supporting wider items, and a smaller hook underneath for narrower things, like rope, stroller handles, and lawn chair backs. The upper hook is perfect for holding ladder rungs tight against the wall for optimal safety. The bar fixes to Racor's innovative WallDock wall plate, which is part of a modular system of interchangeable storage options. Each WallDock accepts any of numerous storage hooks and shelves available in Racor's Interchange system, making the setup incredibly versatile for constantly changing storage needs.Racor's modular Interchange storage system is designed for easy installation, flexibility, and seasonal access to a wide variety of items throughout the home. InterChange offers unlimited, modular possibilities for keeping tools, recreation gear and anything else right where you need it, when you need it. And as more stuff is added, it's a simple matter to reorganize and add racks by mounting them on existing or newly-installed WallDocks. --Brian D. Olson
