The Best Garage Wall Cabinets for Storage and Organization

If you’re moving into a new garage—or planning an overhaul on the one you have—wall-mounted cabinets can be a great addition to your space. These handy, wall-mounted units are a great way to provide garage storage without taking up any valuable floorspace, and make it easy to keep your tools and gear organized. You’ll need to mount them yourself, but this process is easier than you probably think, and many options even come with everything you need to get the job done.

The Best Garage Wall Cabinets

What to Consider

When choosing a garage wall cabinet, first consider what you plan on storing inside. If it’s heavier items like power tools, machinery equipment, or large tool sets, make sure the cabinet is rated to hold that amount of weight. Similarly, if you want to store bulky or awkwardly-shaped items like project workpieces or storage containers, check that the cabinet is large enough to fit them inside.

You should also consider how you’ll be mounting the cabinet to the wall. If you plan on purchasing multiple units and installing them side-by-side, you should probably choose an option that uses a hook and rail system specifically designed for them. Or, you could always mount them yourself by drilling into wall studs. If you plan on using drywall anchors, we recommend tossing out the ones that come with the cabinet—they tend to be pretty cheap—and purchasing some heavier-duty ones on your own. If you’re not sure, or have any questions about wall mounting, ask your local hardware store expert.
