Getting More From a Smaller Closet
Reach-in closets are the most common closet type in Pittsburgh area homes, but they are also the most underutilized. Most come with a single rod and a shelf, which wastes the vertical space above and below your hanging clothes. A custom reach-in system replaces that basic setup with purpose built sections for hanging, folding, shoes, and accessories. The result is a closet that holds significantly more while keeping everything visible and easy to access.
Where Reach-in Closets Make the Biggest Difference
Reach-in closets are found throughout the home, not just in bedrooms. Hallway closets, guest rooms, kids rooms, entryways, and even bathroom linen closets all benefit from a custom reach-in system. Steel City Closet Design builds reach-in solutions for every room. If you have a home storage need in a closet without walk-in depth, a custom reach-in is almost always the right answer.
Design Options for Reach-in Closets
We offer double hanging rods, adjustable shelving, built-in drawers, pull-out baskets, shoe racks, and accessory hooks for reach-in closets. For kids rooms, we design systems that grow with your child by placing rods and shelves at heights they can reach now, with adjustable positions for later. Jackson tailors every design to the person using the closet and the dimensions of the opening.

Reach-in closets work with any door configuration. If you have bifold or sliding doors, we design around those constraints. If you want to remove the doors entirely for an open closet look, we can design a system that looks clean and intentional from the outside. For narrow hallway closets, we sometimes recommend replacing bifold doors with sliding barn style hardware to save floor clearance.
Typical Project Timeline and Cost
Reach-in closet installations are usually completed in a single day. Because reach-in closets require less material than walk-in closets, they are one of our most affordable project types. Pricing varies based on the width of the opening, the number of drawers and shelves, and your finish selection. We provide an exact quote after measuring your space during a free consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you customize a reach-in closet in a rental apartment?
In most cases, yes. We can design freestanding or tension mounted systems that do not require permanent modification to the walls.
What is the difference between a reach-in and a walk-in closet system?
A reach-in closet is typically accessed through a door opening and does not have floor space to walk inside. A walk-in closet has enough depth to enter and move around.
How much does a reach-in closet system cost?
Reach-in closets are our most affordable service. Pricing depends on the width, the features you choose, and the finish. We provide exact quotes after a free in-home measurement.
Do you install reach-in closets in hallways and entryways?
Absolutely. We design reach-in systems for hallway coat closets, entryway storage, linen closets, and any other standard door opening closet in the home.
