Wall-Mounted Item Installation Instructions

Whether you have a coat rack, a quilt rack with shelf, or other item with wooden plugs, this installation guide will tell the exact steps to hang your new piece on the wall. Keep reading to make sure you have everything you need before getting started.

REQUIRED TOOLS / ITEMS:

• Drill/driver

• Phillips head bit

• Level

• Tape measure

• Hammer

• 1 general-use nail

• 2.5"-3" screws

• Pencil

• Stud finder, if needed (For safety and stability, we recommend screwing into a stud.)

• 100-pound wall anchors/toggle bolts (Optional: If not installed into a stud, a minimum of 100-pound wall anchors/toggle bolts is strongly suggested.)

INSTRUCTIONS

• First, remove the wooden plugs from your item by taking a small screw and tapping the plugs from the inside (See demonstration video below); this exposes the pre-drilled holes. Set aside the plugs for now. 

• Determine where you want to place your wall-mounted item. 

• (If you will be screwing into a stud [recommended], locate the studs. Use a stud finder, if needed.)

• With a pencil, mark the spots where you will either 

            a) drill a hole for screwing into studs or 

      b) insert wall anchor/toggle bolts.

• If using wall anchor/toggle bolts, mark the spots, and install the anchors per the manufacturer's instructions.

• Place your item on the wall and line up the pre-drilled holes with the marks on the studs or wall anchors. 

• Insert the first screw through one of the open holes (where the wooden plugs were removed) and into the stud or wall anchor. Check that your item is level before proceeding. Adjust if necessary.

• When level, insert the remaining screw(s).

• Replace the wooden plugs in the open holes by gently tapping them with a small hammer or block of wood. This will plug up these holes and hide the screws.
