Fasteners - Not Supplied

Because materials and construction of oors and walls can vary, fasteners for attaching the locker to the structure are not provided� The installer must choose the appropriate fastener and follow the manufacturer’s instructions�

!

WARNING

Inferior or improperly installed fasteners could cause the lockers to tip over.

Determine the construction of the walls and/or oor. If the lockers will be attached to the wall, no attachment to the oor is required. If the lockers will be installed back-to-back in the middle of a room, attachment to the oor is required.

Locker Fastener Guidelines:

· If the oor is wood construction, attachment should be by sheet metal or lag screws (#10 minimum).

· If the oor is concrete, attachment should be by concrete screw (Tapcon), or sheet metal screws

(#10 minimum) into metal or plastic inserts�

· If the wall is wood stud-and-drywall construction, attachment should be by lag screws

(1/4" minimum) into every stud�

· If the wall is metal stud-and-drywall construction, attachment should be by toggle bolt

(1/4" minimum) into every stud�

· If the wall is concrete block construction, attachment should be by concrete screw (Tapcon) or

toggle bolt (1/4" minimum), spaced no more than 16" apart�

· If the wall is poured concrete construction, attachment should be by Concrete screw (Tapcon) or

wedge-type concrete anchors, spaced no more than 24" apart� Note: Each wall and oor connection must be rated for a minimum of 500 lb of tension.

Other fasteners may be used if the connection strength requirement is met�
