Some people call it a valet rod<\/a>, others call it a valet pole. We think every clothes closet should have at least one.
\nWould you purchase a new car without air conditioning or hands-free calling? Of course not! They have become essential features in vehicles today. When it comes to closets, a valet rod is also essential. You just might not know it yet.<\/p>\n

\"Clothes<\/h3>\n

Doorknobs are not valet rods<\/h3>\n

Have you ever hung a shirt from a door knob? Maybe you like to hang your outfits from the top of an open door (because the door knob is too low to floor to hang a dress or suit). If you have ever been guilty of hanging your clothes in this way, you need a valet pole. It is designed to hang clothes, not open doors.<\/p>\n

Two types of valet rods<\/h3>\n

\"Insert
\nA concealed insert valet rod<\/strong> disappears into the cabinet dividers. When it is pushed all the way in and not in use you only see the round knob. It pulls out to 3.7 inches and can support up to 7 pounds. The round ball at the end is used to push and pull the rod but also keeps your clothes from sliding off the end.
\n\"Side
\nFor more flexibility, a side mount, telescopic valet rod<\/strong> can be placed almost anywhere. It extends to 9.5 inches and can support up to 50 pounds. The hardware mounts are also concealed providing a clean looking finish to your closet. You\u2019ll be able to hang more items such as dry cleaning or freshly ironed clothes.
\nBoth valet rods come in a various metal finishes:<\/p>\n
