I used these many years ago
when I put up the Fast Track system in my garage. I left almost all of that system with the house I sold. That absolutely killed me to do that because the Fast Track is hard to beat for organizing your garage.While I couldn't bring all of the system with me, I was able to bring two of the bars and some of the hanger accessories for my one car garage.. That's why I bought these anchors. If you plan on hanging stuff on the system, you need to use these where there is no stud. Maybe 2-3 per bar? They work really well. I never, ever had a bar come off a wall and my two car garage was full of them.Highly recommend these and not for just the Fast Track, but for anywhere you need good wall anchors.

Works with older Fasttrack systems...BUT...
Screws and anchors are the same size (diameter and length) and compatible with older Rubbermaid Fasttrack systems (+/- 2015), but the head on the screws is silver, not painted white, and it's a smaller head, so you need to use a small washer to keep the screw from falling through the hole in the uprights. I used a #8 washer and it worked well, just a little less pretty than the original white-headed screws.And there's not enough anchors, as usual, which is why I had to buy the hardware kit in the first place. I have the Fasttrack in 4 different closets in my house and it's great - just be prepared to buy extra hardware before you get started if you're not installing into the studs.Also, the Rubbermaid Configurations system uses the same exact hardware so this will work with it too.

Not enough hardware in 2 kits for 84" rail
The product description says you need two of these hardware kits to install an 84" rail. The rail installation instructions say you need to hit 6 studs to get maximum weight capacity for the 84" rail. You're also supposed to use drywall anchors between studs. You use 2 screws per mounting location. So, that's 12 screws for the 6 studs and 10 screws and drywall anchors for between the studs, for a total of 22 screws and 10 anchors. The hardware kits I received each contained 11 screws and 4 anchors, so the 2 kits contained 22 screws and 8 anchors. That's 2 anchors short if following the instructions. Luckily, one of my kits had 5 anchors. Also, I bought 4 kits to mount 2 84" rails so I could steal an anchor from a 3rd set. But now I have to make a trip to get more anchors. Obviously, not a major deal but kind of a PIA because it means I can't get all my rails installed this weekend. B&D should include enough parts to install the way they recommend.

Anchors were great, but...
I got these for the anchors, thank goodness, because the screwheads were smaller than what came with my fasttrack system. I already had screws left over from the system, just not enough anchors.

Great product...great instructions
I’ve seen some really bad reviews so had reservations about purchasing it. But after a botched attempt at hanging my fast track with hardware the local store recommended, I decided to go online looking for this kit. It worked like a charm...I followed the directions of making pilot holes...1/8” for the ones going into studs, 3/8” for the anchors spaced in between. It was installed very easily and the anchors and screws look like it is sufficiently holding the rail in. I feel confident that the rail isn’t going anywhere....incidentally, I had previous fast track rails installed by a handyman for me, and one of the rails has started coming off the wall...now that I can see how he hung it up with the rail hanging out of the wall, I can see that he used only three anchors and no studs....not only did he not follow the recommendations for putting it in studs, he only used three holes to support the rail...I can see why it is coming down compared to following Rubbermaid’s recommendation for install. Definitely follow the instructions, use the studs AND anchors!
