Tools and Hardware Reviews of Triton Products 76995 DuraHook Pro-Series Pegboard Hook and Bin Assortment
Customer Review: POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN
Summary: 1 Stars
THE HARDWARE
The metal hardware in this set is mostly heavy-duty, which may be good. However, a lot of the brackets are engineered upside-down. The brackets are designed to fit into 2 peg holes. Into one hole goes a nose which extends behind the peg-board & grips the back of the pegboard. Into a 2nd pegboard hole goes a sheet metal screw. Thus the brackets generally have two points of support. Unfortunately, many of them are designed so that the sheet metal screw is on top. That means that the primary support is a sheet metal screw, screwed into a peg hole. And thus the support depends on a screw holding into the weak pegboard hole.
The brackets should have been designed so that the primary support is a nose that sticks into a hole & grips the back of the pegboard, not the hole circumference itself. The sheet metal screws (screwed into weak pegboard fiber) could pull out.
If you wanted to go to the trouble, you could take some of the hardware pieces & put them in a vice & bend the steel so that you reversed the direction of the end of some hardware pieces. For example, there are short rods sticking out from the pegboard (when attached) & the ends of the rods are bend upwards as if to keep something hanging on the rod from sliding off. One could bend the ends 180 degrees in the opposite direction & mount the brackets upside down to make the nose go into the top peg hole & the screw into the bottom peg hole. But it would be a chore & might not look esthetically pleasing.
THE BINS
The little yellow bins are secured with a special bracket. The bracket needs to be attached to the pegboard before the ridge on the back of the bin is slid into the bracket. The brackets seem designed for 2 points of support, one on top & one on the bottom. Thus the brackets have 2 holes drilled in them, one for top & one for bottom. The bottom hole is large, about 1/8th inch in diameter, designed for a sheet metal screw. One has to screw in the bracket, making a screwing job every time you change position of the bracket & tub on the pegboard. The 2nd hole is quite small about 3/4 inch higher than the large hole. That second hole seems designed for a 2nd screw, which would go into a hole you have to specially drill in the pegboard. That hole does not match any preformed hole in the pegboard. I could not see anyway to use that 2nd small hole except to drill thru the yellow tub back. & if you don't have a small enough screw, then you may find yourself reaming out the small hole in the bracket with a drill. & I don't have any faith in a tiny screw holding much weight.
Since there are no holes predrilled into the back of the bins to match the small holes in the bracket, I wonder if there is some other way to mount the bins securely. But if you just put a sheet metal screw in the top hole of the bracket, then you cannot fit the bin ridge into the bracket; you cannot mount the bin into the bracket. I could not see any way to use the small hole without putting a screw thru the plastic back of the bin (where it matches the bracket hole), then pushing the screw on thru the small bracket hole, then into the pegboard.
If you drill the special holes & screw the bin to the pegboard, then you can't easily remove the bin from the pegboard. You might have a bin of screws & want to pull the bin off the pegboard & put it on your desk temporarily.
There are hardly any instructions with this set.
Sheet metal screws come with the set.
Summary of Problems:
1) hardly any instructions.
2) lack of mobility (screwing job required to change bracket location on pegboard).
3) poor design depending on sheet metal screws in peg holes to hold brackets.
4) apparent need to drill new holes into the pegboard.
5) no screws supplied for the small holes.
6) insufficient illustrative pictures.
