Stak Rack | 6 in 1 Painter's Accessory Tool | Stacking Design | Paint Interior or Exterior Doors, Trim & Kitchen Cabinet Doors| for Contractors & Homeowners (12)

Super handy to have around

I was put off by the price of these, but considering the amount of wood I need to stain and paint (10 pallets of tongue and groove), I bit the bullet and ordered three packs of 12. They are very simple pieces of plastic that probably cost a dollar each to manufacture so the price really is offensive, but after staining 48 boards in a couple of hours with this system I was a believer! Very much a game-changer, and I ended up ordering 3 more packs! Today I stained 96 boards in 5 hours, and only took up a 10x 8 foot space. Highly recommend, if you can afford it.

This are awesome, but I was overwhelmed when I got them. No directions. Really? So I jumped in and had impressive success right off the bat. Here is what I did:1) Screw in to the top and bottom of the doors. I had 3 doors, all the same size. I attached these 3" from the edges and this worked well for flipping. When you screw them in, try to keep them at 90 degrees. If slightly off, will make it hard to stack later. Go ahead and screw all the way in--do not leave lose or it will be hard to stack later. When done, the round part that sticks out should be next to the door (if you attach backwards, it just won't work).2) Paint one side of the door and the ends (when you flip, paint the ends again--this is the only way to get most of the top and bottoms of the doors--the triangles block a bit of the door towards the ground). I found it works better to leave the left and right sides until they are all stacked, then you can paint the sides all at once.3) To flip...I found if I used the side with the door handle hole it helped. Pull the side of the door vertical using the door handle hole. Next, sort of walk down the door to one end. Hold the plastic triangle and slowly lower the door (only holding the triangle). Once on the ground make sure all the triangles are correctly placed (see picture in packaging). I had to manually rotate the triangles not on the ground (they don't swing freely)--rotate clockwise so you don't accidentally unscrew the triangle.4) Next door. Stack on one side of the previously painted door. I found it easiest to have the door vertical to make sure it was parallel and correctly placed for stacking onto the first door. Lower it slowly to make sure it will stack--if you miss it, just raise up, reposition and repeat (it's really much easier than it may sound). The triangles sort of interlock, which helps keep them from sliding once placed. Make sure the second door side is secure on one side of the first door. The other side should be on the ground (at this point you have one door on the ground, one side has the next door stacked on top of it, and the other side of the next door is on the ground). Go ahead and paint the door. Then repeat step 3 to flip it onto the first door. Once down, check the triangles and make sure they are interlocked. I had one that was not square (90 degrees) and it wouldn't interlock,but still able to complete this project--so not a show stopper.I suggest practicing stacking before painting. This will help you figure out how they work and let you know if you need to make an adjustment before you have to worry about wet paint. These are totally worth figuring out if you have a bunch of doors to paint. Good luck!

This product allowed for doing a number of doors at the same time, and they made flipping the doors over very easy. I did it with my husband - no extra big strong helpers to do the work.

We used these during the remodel of our daughter's home. It made the job go much faster. The ease of turning the doors made the job an easier task. Easy to assemble and sturdy.

These may be fine for hollow core doors but they definitely are not for heavier solid wood doors. Spray finishing is again, probably fine but applying stain and then rubbing the finish will cause the screws to rip out from wobbling.

My wife and I are in the process of painting our basement (ourselves) and without this product I wouldn't have been able to paint 5 doors at the same time because of space. Our basement is already finished so we had to use the extra space in our garage for our sprayer. Out of the box, stackracks are really easy to set up (highly recommend watching the various YouTube videos before you begin) easy to use, and made things go a lot smoother. The only challenge we faced was that our doors were of different widths so in order for them to stack on one another and pivot with enough clearance, we had to compensate for those differences. Before I installed the stackracks, I had all of the doors on top of one another (on my saw horses) I lined up the edges and marked 2 inches inward and drew a line straight down. That was the side in which my doors will pivot. On the other side, I measured 2 inches inward on the smallest door and used that as my mark for the other side. I wouldn't be able to pivot from that side because while it was 2 inches on the smallest door, it turned out to be 4-5 inches inward on the largest.My only negative would be that they are on the pricey side compared to other products. However, I was impressed buy the quality/durability and can tell they are built to last.

If you’re a painter and frequently paint doors, this is a no-brainer. Saves time by allowing you to flip the door and paint both sides, while saving space and allowing you to stack when done. Product is good quality and heavy duty plastic. I am painting 8’ solid wood doors w my project and have stacked 7 doors without any concern of them falling. Highly recommend.
