My clamp rack is similar to yours and have never had one come off. The difference, I slide the clamp open all the way which allows some weight at the top and the heavier head to hang at the bottom. Don't know why that would make any difference but it might be worth a try.

If you need tilted racks, loosen all the screws that currently secure the racks to the wall, put a shim between the bottom edge of the racks and the wall, and re-tighten all the screws.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, etc. I'm certainly going try some of them, especially on 2 of the racks that give me greif. All of this will have to wait until I finish my Honey Do list which includes finishing the greenhouse and one other project that's nearing completion.

Jim,
Since the bottom is screwed into the wall, can you empty the racks and put a small wedge behind the stiles to change the angle a bit?

Could you add some non-slip (high-friction) shelf paper on the ledge where the weight of the clamp is being supported?
Might not fix the problem, but it might make the creeping forward of the clamps to be slow enough to notice.

Is there a door on that wall? Opening and closing the door could be the culprit that is vibrating the clamps out. If so maybe a hydraulic closer or soft weather striping?

There's no door on the wall but there are lots of things there that I use often that cause vibration causing the clamps to walk off occasionally.

My head is numb after being hit so many times. I wore a helmet for 22 years in the Army
