Do StoreWALL Accessories Work on StorEase Panels?

If you have a StorEase wall storage system at home from Bunnings and you’re looking for better accessories — more variety, better locking, or heavier-duty hooks — the short answer is yes, StoreWALL accessories are compatible with the StorEase Smart Wall Panel. There are some important caveats depending on which version of StorEase you have, and this page covers all of it.

First — Which StorEase Product Do You Have?

StorEase sells two distinct wall storage products at Bunnings, and they behave differently when it comes to third-party accessories:

1. StorEase Smart Wall Panel (aluminium, raw finish)

This is the wider of the two panels — 158mm in height, 1200mm long, aluminium in colour. It uses a standard slatwall groove spacing that is compatible with StoreWALL accessories. CamLok engages correctly with this panel and provides a secure, locked fit. This is the one we recommend if you’re looking to add StoreWALL hooks, shelves, bins, or bike racks to your existing setup.

2. StorEase Wall Track Slimline (black, powder-coated)

This is the narrower rail — 105mm in height, 1200mm long, black in colour. StoreWALL accessories will physically slot into this rail, but the groove design is different enough that CamLok cannot engage properly. The result is significant play and movement once the accessory is on the rail. We do not recommend using StoreWALL accessories on the Slimline rail — for a full breakdown, see our dedicated Slimline post below.

📌 Note: Not sure which one you have? The easiest way to tell: the wider aluminium-coloured panel = Smart Wall Panel (compatible). The narrow black rail = Slimline (not recommended). You can also check the Bunnings product listing — the SKUs are different.

What We Tested

We’ve tested StoreWALL accessories on StorEase panels both in-store at Bunnings, in our workshop and in customer garages over several years. Here’s what we found:

• StoreWALL Universal or Cradle Hooks: fit the Smart Wall Panel with some minor play depending on the specific hook, but CamLok locks it securely. Functional and safe.
• StoreWALL Rotating Bike Hook: fits and locks correctly. This is one of the most popular accessories for customers with StorEase walls — StorEase doesn’t offer an equivalent.
• StoreWALL bins and baskets: compatible with the Smart Wall Panel. CamLok keeps them locked under load.
• StoreWALL shelves: compatible. Particularly useful given the limited shelf options in the StorEase accessory range.
• All StoreWALL accessories on the Slimline black rail: physically fits but has significant slack — not recommended for anything other than very lightweight items.

How the Locking Mechanisms Compare

This is the most important practical difference between StorEase accessories and StoreWALL accessories, and it’s worth understanding before you decide what to buy.

StorEase locking mechanism

The StorEase Smart Wall Panel hook uses a front tooth at the top to grip the upper groove, and a rear lip to brace against the lower groove. When installed firmly it holds well for everyday items. The challenge is in adjustment — removing and repositioning the hook requires significant force, which on aluminium panels can scratch the surface. In our testing, the panel showed paint and surface marks after just a few installation and removal cycles.

StorEase Slimline Smart Rail locking mechanism

The Slimline rail uses a different groove design that provides even less contact with the accessory. We tested this in-store at Bunnings and found the original StorEase accessory could be dislodged without much effort at all — not something you’d want for heavier items. This is supported by customer reviews on the Bunnings website.

StoreWALL CamLok

CamLok works differently from either StorEase system. The hook slots into the upper groove as normal, but CamLok then engages a rotating lock inside the lower groove from the front of the hook — securing it at both the top and the bottom. There’s no need to apply force from behind the hook to remove it, which means panel surfaces stay scratch-free through multiple adjustments. And when it’s locked, it stays locked — even under the weight of a full-size bike.

StorEase vs StoreWALL — Panel Comparison

For context, here’s how the two systems compare at a panel level:

• StorEase Smart Wall Panel: 150mm H × 1200mm W, aluminium, single row of grooves per panel. Cost approx. $31.11 per panel (covers 0.18m²).
• StoreWALL Standard Duty Panel: 304mm H × 1219mm W (1.2m) or 2438mm (2.4m), dense PVC, two rows of grooves per panel. Cost approx. $78 per 1.2m panel (covers 0.37m²).
• To cover the same wall area as one StoreWALL 1.2m panel, you need approximately two StorEase panels stacked. When you factor this in, the price difference between the systems is modest — around $62 for StorEase vs $78 for StoreWALL Standard Duty to cover the same area.
• StoreWALL panels are made from dense PVC — mould-resistant, weatherproof, and available in 8 colours including Weathered Grey, Brite White, and Autumn Elm. StorEase panels are aluminium.
• StoreWALL accessories are steel, powder-coated, and significantly heavier duty than StorEase equivalents. The StoreWALL HD Universal Hook weighs approximately twice that of the StorEase equivalent.

Should You Upgrade Your StorEase System or Add StoreWALL Accessories?

If you already have StorEase Smart Wall Panels installed and they’re in good condition, adding StoreWALL accessories is the most cost-effective approach. You get the benefit of CamLok locking and access to a much wider accessory range without replacing your panels.

If your StorEase panels are the old plastic variety — a version Bunnings no longer sells — unfortunately those panels are no longer compatible with any current accessory range including StoreWALL. In that case, replacing the panels is the only real option. We’ve had several customers in this situation and the most practical solution is to remove the old panels and install StoreWALL from scratch.

If you have the Slimline black rail and you’re frustrated with accessories that don’t lock properly, the most practical fix is to replace the rails entirely. StoreWALL Standard Duty panels installed with InstallStrips give you a clean, permanent solution that covers the wall properly and works with the full accessory range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which StoreWALL accessories work on StorEase Smart Wall Panels?

All StoreWALL standard hooks, cradle hooks, rotating hooks, bins, baskets, shelves, brackets, and bike racks are compatible with the StorEase Smart Wall Panel. CamLok will lock correctly on this panel.

Do StorEase accessories work on StoreWALL panels?

No. StorEase accessories are designed specifically for StorEase panels and do not have the L-shaped lip required to attach to StoreWALL panels. This is a one-way compatibility — StoreWALL accessories fit StorEase, but not the other way around.

I have the old plastic StorEase panels from Bunnings. Can StoreWALL accessories fit?

This depends on the groove spacing and profile of your specific panels. In most cases, no — the old plastic StorEase system used a different groove design that pre-dates the current aluminium range. If you’re unsure, send us a photo and we can advise before you order anything.

Can I mix StorEase and StoreWALL accessories on the same wall?

If you have StorEase Smart Wall Panels, yes — you can run both StorEase and StoreWALL accessories on the same panel. StoreWALL CamLok accessories sit alongside StorEase accessories without issue. Most customers who do this find they gradually replace StorEase accessories with StoreWALL equivalents over time.

What if I’m not sure which StorEase product I have?

The simplest check: if it’s black and narrow (around 105mm), it’s the Slimline rail — StoreWALL accessories are not recommended. If it’s aluminium-coloured and wider (around 150–158mm), it’s the Smart Wall Panel and you’re good to go. You can also find the product name on the Bunnings receipt or look up the product via the Bunnings website.
