Step 1: Hang Wall Plate

NOTE: Make sure the Wall Plate (A) is oriented so the flat surface in the center of the plate is against the wall as shown in

Diagram 1A.

Wood Stud Mounting:

Using a high quality stud sensor to locate a stud: then, using the Wall Plate (A) as a template mark two holes in the appropriate location, making sure the hole is in the center area of the stud.

Pre-drill a 1/8” hole 2.5” [63.5 mm] deep where the upper Lag Screw (C) will be installed; then, secure the Wall Plate (A) to the stud using one of the Lag Bolts as shown in Diagram 1A.

Verify that the Wall Plate is level; then pre-drill a 1/8” hole 2.5” [63.5 mm] deep for the lower Lag Screw (C) and secure the bottom of the Wall Plate (A) with the second Lag Screw as shown in diagram 1A.

Drywall Installation:

Position the Wall Plate (A) in the desired location on the wall; then, use the Wall Plate as a template and mark the location of the four outer mounting holes.

Using a 3/8” drill bit, proceed to drill a 3/8” pilot hole in each marked location.

Install a Dry Wall Anchor (D) in one of the pilot holes and tighten the Anchor Bolt until it is fully seated as shown in Diagram 1B.

NOTE: Make sure the Washer is between the head of the Anchor Bolt and the Wall Plate (A) as shown in Diagram 1C.

Loosen the Anchor Bolt approximately 1/4” and repeat the above process for the three additional pilot holes. Once Wall Plate (A) is mounted onto the wall, verify that it is level; then, proceed to tighten all four Anchor Bolts.
