Default Toolbar Troubles

I have some code that creates two toolbars when a template workbook is opened.
These tools bars do various things in the workbook, and then when i close
that workbook the toolbars are deleted using the sub beforeclose. however if
i have more than one workbook open that uses the code and i close one of them,
it deletes the toolbars and i cant use them in the still open workbook. i
tried just not deleting the toolsbars at close, but they stay linked to the
workbook that created them rather than acting on the open workbook. The code
that creates them is very long, so i wont post it all but here is the
begining where some of it is created:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
LOADING.Show vbModeless
LOADING.Repaint
Dim DScb As CommandBar
Dim add_door As CommandBarButton
Dim oak As CommandBarButton
Dim raw As CommandBarButton
Dim maple As CommandBarButton
Dim pine As CommandBarButton
Dim alder As CommandBarButton
Dim cherry As CommandBarButton
Dim hrdwToolBar As String

hrdwToolBar = "Hardware"

Set CustomToolBar = Application.CommandBars.Add(Name:=hrdwToolBar,
Position:=msoBarTop)
CustomToolBar.Visible = True

Set HARDWARE = CustomToolBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
HARDWARE.Caption = "Hardware"

Set mouldings = CustomToolBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
mouldings.Caption = "Mouldings"

Set stairparts = CustomToolBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
stairparts.Caption = "Stair Parts"

With stairparts.Controls
Set newel = .Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
newel.Caption = "Newels"
Set balusters = .Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
balusters.Caption = "Balusters"
Set rails = .Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
rails.Caption = "Rails"
End With

With rails.Controls
Set sch6005 = .Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
sch6005.Caption = "SCH-6005"
End With

With sch6005
.OnAction = "rail_run"
.Tag = "sch6005"
End With

Could the problem be with how the toolbars are created? Is there a better
way to create them once not on opening of workbook, but just create them and
then they will run the appropriate macros in the activeworkbook? Any
thoughts? Sorry if this is confusing.
