Have fun organizing!
Step 01 – Position the first rail in your drawer
01a. Rails are made in three sizes and come packaged in the amount you ordered. Check the rails to make sure the rubber caps are on the front tips. The threaded end should be screwed all the way onto the back with a rubber bumper at the end.
01b. Place one rail against the edge of the drawer with the threaded end at the back. Make sure it is perfectly straight and standing upright.
01c. Holding the rail in place, twist the threaded end until it presses firmly against the back of the drawer. This secures the rail with tension.
Step 02 – Create a bay with dividers
If you want to start with an accessory then skip to step 03.
02a. Dividers are made in three sizes and come in a set of four. Each divider has a tip at one side and a notch at the other.
02b. Place one divider at the front and one divider at the back of the rail between the vertical bars. We suggest starting with the notch side first.
02c. Place the next rail against the dividers and tighten it in place. The dividers should be secured firmly, if they are loose try placing the second rail again tighter against the dividers and make sure it is upright and straight.
02d. To add another divider, first put the tip under the top bar of the rail and slide the notch side down. To remove a divider use the opposite motion, pulling the notch side up first.
02e. Now place the other dividers and move the existing ones into any position you want. You can use any many or as few dividers as you need in the bay.
Step 03 – Create a bay with an accessory
Select your accessory from the different options below
Box Accessory
03a. Box accessories are made in three sizes. They come in sets of one box with four dividers that match the size you ordered.
03b. Use the technique described in Step 02 to create a bay with the dividers for the box.
03c. Move the dividers and place the box so it sits firmly between two of them in your desired position. You also have an additional two dividers to create other spaces for organization.
Tray Accessory
03d. Silverware tray accessories come in sets of five trays with six large dividers.
Please note if your drawer is 18″ deep (front to back) you will only be able to install four trays as shown with the visualizer when you designed your drawer.
03e. Use the technique described in Step 02 to create a bay with the dividers for the trays.
03f. Move the dividers and place the trays so they sit firmly between them in your desired position.
03f. The trays are designed so that each one sits between a divider and are held neatly in place.
Rack Accessory
03g. Spice rack accessories come in sets of three.
03h. Place the spice racks against the rail with the pegs between the vertical bars. It is best to get the position you want before moving onto the next step.
03i. Place the next rail against the spice rack and tighten it in place. They should be secured firmly, if they are loose try placing the second rail again tighter to the accessory.
Knife Block Accessory
03j. Knife block accessories come in sets of one with a knife rest.
03k. Place the knife block against the rail with the pegs between the vertical bars. It is best to get the position you want before moving onto the next step.
03l. Place the next rail against the knife block and tighten it in place. It should be secured firmly, if they are loose try placing the second rail again tighter to the accessory.
03m. Position the knife rest between the vertical bars in the desired position.
Step 04 – Finish the layout
04a. Create the rest of the bays in your drawer using the techniques outlined in step 02 for dividers and step 03 for accessories. Once finished, you may want to make some small adjustments to ensure the rails are perfectly straight/upright and everything is spaced correctly.
04b. Finally, go through and tighten all the threaded ends again so that they are firm against the back of the drawer. The rails should be secured tightly in place.
04c. You’re finished! Remember you can adjust the position of the dividers and accessories as you organize your things – it’s easy to add, remove, or change the layout at any time.
Tips and tricks
Tip. To create a straight line with dividers across several bays make sure that the angled sides of the divider are aligned together.
Tip. Depending on the layout and the size of your drawer, you may want to center the system. To do this just offset the first rail you position so that the layout is balanced from side to side.
Visualizer Guide
Measure Width
Using a tape measure find the interior width of your drawer (side to side). Make sure to measure the inside edges. Record the measurement and then round down to the nearest ½”.
For example if your drawer is 20 ¾” you should round down to 20 ½”. If your drawer already falls exactly on a ½” measurement (like 20″ or 20 ½”) use that number when entering the width.
Measure Depth
Using a tape measure find the interior depth of your drawer (front to back). Make sure to measure the inside edges. Record the measurement and then round down to the nearest ½”.
For example if your drawer is 19 ¼” you would round down to 19″. If your drawer already falls exactly on a ½” measurement (like 19 ½″ or 19″) use that number when entering the depth.
Check Height
Using a tape measure check the height at the back of your drawer (top to bottom). Toko works in drawers 2 ½” or taller. In the rare case that your drawer is shorter, the system may not fit correctly.
Design Layout
Now the fun stuff! You can choose from several layouts that all fit your drawer. Each one is made up of combinations of three bay sizes —
Small 4″ | Medium 6″ | Large 10″
You can create spaces by moving dividers anywhere inside the bays and add in special accessories like knife blocks, spice racks, and silverware trays. If you’re unable to add an accessory that you want, try picking a different layout — the combinations are endless!
Buying Guide
This guide is only if you want to pick out individual parts of the Toko system. If you are using the visualizer everything is calculated to work automatically. Have fun exploring!
Components
The system is made up of three basic parts —
Rails that form the foundation of the system. Dividers that can be placed anywhere to create custom spaces. Accessories that are tailored to individual items like knife blocks and spice racks to keep them neatly in place.
Bay Sizes
Toko is designed with three bay sizes that can be placed in any combination. The bays are created by rails that span the depth of your drawer and are secured in place through tension.
Small 4″ | Medium 6″ | Large 10″
Drawer Width
Using a tape measure find the interior width of your drawer (side to side). Make sure to measure the inside edges.
Record the measurement and then subtract 1″. This has to do with how the system is designed and is an important step. For example if your drawer is 25 ½” wide you would use 24 ½” when creating the layout.
Layout Design
Create a combination using the different bay sizes that fills the width of your drawer. For example the drawer measured above could have the following layouts —
- 10 + 10 + 4 = 24″
- 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24″
- 10 + 6 + 4 + 4 = 24″
Filling Bays
Each bay can be filled with either dividers or an accessory.
Dividers can be placed anywhere between rails to create custom spaces. Accessories like knife blocks, spice racks, and silverware trays are designed for specific bay sizes.
Drawer Depth
Using a tape measure find the interior depth of your drawer (front to back). Make sure to measure the inside edges.
Record the measurement and round down to the nearest inch. For example if your drawer is 19 ¾” you would use 19″ when selecting the rail size.
Rail Size
Toko has three rail sizes and it is important to get the right one for your drawer. The system currently works in drawers 18-21″ deep.
- 18″ rails fit drawers 18-19″ deep
- 19″ rails fit drawers 19-20″ deep
- 20″ rails fit drawers 20-21″ deep
Rail Quantity
The quantity of rails you need to purchase is based on the layout you designed for your drawer.
Count how many bays you have and then add one additional rail. For example if your layout has three bays you would need four rails.
Divider Size
Dividers come in three sizes that correspond to the different bays. Make sure to get the right size dividers for the bays in your layout.
- Small dividers fit the small 4″ Bay
- Medium dividers fit the medium 6″ Bay
- Large dividers fit the large 10″ Bay
Divider Placement
Dividers are sold in sets of four and can be placed anywhere to create different spaces to organize your things. You can use as few or as many dividers as you want inside each bay.
Divider Quantity
Typically you should fill every bay in your layout with the right size divider. However, if you want to include an accessory like a knife block or spice rack you should leave that bay empty.
Boxes
Boxes come in three sizes that correspond to the different bays. Each box can be placed anywhere inside a bay and comes with two additional dividers to create extra spaces for organization.
- Small boxes fit the small 4″ Bay
- Medium boxes fit the medium 6″ Bay
- Large boxes fit the large 10″ Bay
Knife Block
Knife blocks fit the medium 6″ bay and are secured in place with pegs. They come in sets of one knife block with one knife rest.
Spice Rack
Spice racks fit the large 10″ bay and are secured in place with pegs. They come in sets of three racks that can be combined seamlessly to add as many rows as you want.
Silverware Trays
Silverware trays fit the large 10″ bay and are secured in place between dividers. They come in sets of five trays with six dividers that can be set up and combined seamlessly to make as many rows as you need.
