- Mark Mounting Points: Hold the surface mount box in position and use a pencil or marker to accurately mark the locations for drilling mounting holes.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit size for your mounting hardware and surface material, drill pilot holes at the marked locations. If mounting into masonry or concrete, use suitable anchors.
