Tools Required
The following tools are typically required for installation:

- Level
- Drill with appropriate drill bit for anchors
- Screwdriver (Phillips or Flathead, as required by screws)
- Stud Finder (recommended for optimal mounting)
Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully to install your wall-mounted soap dish:
- Choose Location: Select a suitable location on the wall, ensuring it is at a convenient height and away from direct water spray if possible. Use a level to ensure the mounting area is straight.
- Mark Drilling Points: Use the provided installation template (if available) or hold the mounting plate against the wall at the desired location. Mark the screw hole positions with a pencil.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Using a drill with the appropriate drill bit size for the wall anchors, carefully drill pilot holes at the marked positions. If drilling into a wall stud, anchors may not be necessary, but ensure screws are suitable for wood.
- Insert Wall Anchors: If drilling into drywall or tile, gently tap the wall anchors into the pilot holes until they are flush with the wall surface.
- Attach Mounting Plate: Align the mounting plate with the drilled holes and secure it to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure the plate is firmly attached and level.
- Mount Soap Dish Fixture: Carefully align the main soap dish fixture with the mounting plate. Secure the fixture to the plate using the set screw(s) typically located on the underside of the fixture. Tighten the set screw(s) with a screwdriver until the fixture is snug and does not wobble.
- Insert Glass Dish: Place the glass soap dish into the brass holder. Ensure it sits securely.
