Abstract
Storage systems and methods of use of the same are disclosed. The storage systems are configured to be connected to wall structures and to be modular in construction, so as to be able to use a plurality of horizontally disposed hang rails and/or a plurality of vertical standards, and/or modular storage components that are received on a hang rail or a vertical standard, or that may be connected directly to a wall structure.

A method of connecting a modular storage component to a hang rail, wherein the modular storage component includes a body having a pair of spaced sidewalls connected by a central portion, with each sidewall having rearward facing openings to receive portions of a hang rail, and a latch member being movable relative to the body, the method comprising:
- positioning a modular storage component forward of a hang rail;
- advancing the modular storage component rearward and downward until the rearward facing openings in the sidewalls have received portions of the hang rail;
- and
- moving the latch member upward relative to the body until it reaches a latched position in which the latch member blocks the movement of the body relative to removal of the modular storage component from the hang rail.
