Can StoreWALL Accessories Work with Other Slatwall Systems? (2026 Update)

Over the years we’ve had many customers ask an interesting question:

Can StoreWALL accessories be used on other garage wall storage systems?

With a easy workaround we have been able to say YES to most customers regardless of the garage wall panels they have in their home.

Recently, a customer in Melbourne contacted us with exactly this question.

He had just installed a GarageTek storage system in his garage but had noticed some accessories on the StoreWALL website that he liked and wanted to know if they would work with his new wall panels.

GarageTek vs StoreWALL Garage Storage Systems

GarageTek is a well-known garage storage brand and part of the Attic Group, which also installs attic ladders and roof storage systems across Australia.

Their garage storage solution uses wall panels combined with hooks, baskets and shelves to create organised vertical storage.

Like StoreWALL, their system is designed to help homeowners move items off the garage floor and onto the wall, making garages cleaner, safer and more functional.

I have no doubt that their storage solution is well made.

However, this particular customer had noticed something different when browsing the StoreWALL website.

Why Customers Often Prefer StoreWALL Accessories

One of the main reasons customers look at StoreWALL is the extensive range of garage wall storage accessories available.

Our range includes:

• Heavy-duty hooks

• Bike hooks

• Utility hooks

• Storage baskets

• Tool holders

• Shelf brackets

• Adjustable shelving

• Storage bins and totes

Having a large accessory range means a garage wall system can store almost anything, including:

• Power tools

• Ladders

• Bicycles

• Sporting equipment

• Surfboards

• Golf bags

• Beach chairs

• Garden tools

But one feature that really stands out for many customers is CamLok.

CamLok – A Smarter Way to Secure Accessories

Most slatwall accessories rely on a simple hook or claw design that grips the top and bottom of the wall panel slot.

While this works in many cases, it can allow accessories to:

• Move slightly under load

• Lift out accidentally

• Become dislodged when removing tools

StoreWALL’s CamLok system solves this problem by locking the accessory into the panel.

Once engaged, CamLok:

• Secures the accessory firmly to the wall
• Prevents accidental lift-out
• Reduces movement when removing items
• Helps protect the wall panel from damage

This feature is one of the reasons many customers choose StoreWALL accessories when upgrading or expanding their garage storage setup.

You can see how CamLok works in the video below:

Testing StoreWALL Accessories on a GarageTek Panel

After our initial conversation, the customer called again a few days later.

He wanted to confirm the measurements of our accessories to see if they might fit on his GarageTek panels.

This wasn’t the first time we’d been asked this question. In the past we’ve also looked at compatibility with other storage systems such as StorEase, and GarageSmart.

To help him out, I took some measurements of the StoreWALL accessory mounting points and sent through some photos.

They appeared to be close to the dimensions he was looking for.

Shortly afterwards he decided to visit us in person.

Real-World Compatibility Test

Although we don’t operate a public showroom, customers in Melbourne can sometimes arrange a look-and-feel visit by appointment.

About 30 minutes later, Peter arrived with an off-cut of his GarageTek wall panel.

We decided to test one of our most popular accessories — the StoreWALL J Hook, commonly used as a bike hook.

It fitted perfectly onto the GarageTek panel.

The hook locked into place and sat securely on the panel, just as it would on a StoreWALL wall panel.

Based on that test, it appears that some StoreWALL accessories work with GarageTek panels. The key to the compatibility is the groove distance. If the groove distance is 74-76mm, StoreWALL accessories will fit and lock in.

Why Accessory Compatibility Sometimes Happens

Many slatwall systems share similar design principles:

• Horizontal slots or grooves
• Similar spacing between slots (74 – 76mm)
• Metal or reinforced accessory hooks

Because of this, many accessories will fit across different brands.

However, this isn’t always guaranteed. Differences in:

• Panel thickness
• Slot depth
• Lip design
• Locking systems

can affect whether accessories fit correctly.

For that reason, it’s always best to test accessories first before purchasing them for another system.

One of Our Most Popular Accessories – The Bike Hook

The StoreWALL Bike Hooks continues to be our most popular accessories. This includes our Rotating Bike Hook and Steadyrack Brackets.

StoreWALL’s bike storage accessories allow bikes to be stored securely on the wall, freeing up valuable floor space in the garage.

Wall-mounted bike storage is particularly useful for families with multiple bikes or for garages with limited space.

What about MDF Slatwall with a wider groove spacing?

In the case of MDF Slatwall panels with a wider groove spacing, typically found in retail settings, StoreWALL can also be compatible with the removal of the CamLok locking mechanism.

This does diminish the performance of the accessory but it does allow you to access a much broader range of accessories than would normally be available to retail outlets.

This workaround can work with all accessories sold by StoreWALL, including baskets, shelving and even brackets.

Continued Innovation in Garage Storage

Since the original version of this article was written, StoreWALL has continued to expand its range of accessories.

Today the range includes solutions for storing:

• Power tools

• Sports equipment

• Surfboards

• Golf bags

• Lawn equipment

• Gardening tools

• Seasonal gear

Combined with StoreWALL wall panels and InstallStrips, these accessories create a highly flexible garage storage system that can be adjusted as your needs change.

Final Thoughts

While this example showed that some StoreWALL accessories can fit on a GarageTek panel, compatibility between brands can vary.

What it does highlight, however, is the strength of the StoreWALL accessory ecosystem — particularly the CamLok locking mechanism and the extensive range of hooks, baskets and shelves available.

For many customers, it’s these small design details that make a big difference when organising a garage.

If you’re planning a garage storage project or upgrading an existing system, it’s worth exploring the full range of StoreWALL accessories to see how they can improve your setup.
