What happens in this clip
Using a drill with a drill bit slightly smaller than the diameter of your mounting screws, pre-drill pilot holes at each of the marked locations. This prevents wood splitting in studs and makes driving screws easier. If you are not mounting into studs, install appropriate wall anchors at this stage according to their manufacturer's instructions. Position the wall brackets over the pilot holes and secure them tightly to the wall using the provided or recommended mounting screws. Ensure the brackets are flush against the wall and feel sturdy.
Goal: Pre-drill pilot holes at the marked locations and then firmly attach the wall brackets to the wall, preferably into the studs, using appropriate screws.
What's used
Tools
- Cordless Drill
- Drill Bits

Step 2 of 6: Install Wall-Side Mounts
Using a drill, create pilot holes at the marks you made on the wall. The size of the pilot hole should be slightly smaller than the screws you will be using. If not drilling into a stud, insert appropriate wall anchors. Then, screw the wall-side mounting hardware securely into place, ensuring it is plumb and stable.
