Setup and Installation
The mDesign Wall Mount Organizer is designed for easy installation. Wall mounting hardware is included.
- Select Location: Choose a suitable wall location in your entryway, mudroom, hallway, kitchen, or office. Ensure there are no electrical wires or plumbing behind the wall where you plan to drill.
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold the organizer against the wall at the desired height and use a pencil to mark the positions for the mounting holes.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type (e.g., drywall, wood, plaster), drill pilot holes at the marked points. If installing into drywall, insert the provided wall anchors into the pilot holes until flush with the wall surface.
- Mount Organizer: Align the organizer's mounting holes with the drilled holes/anchors. Insert the screws through the organizer and into the wall anchors or directly into the wall studs. Tighten the screws until the organizer is securely fastened to the wall. Do not overtighten.
- Alternative Mounting (Cabinet Doors): For more discreet storage, the organizer can be mounted inside cabinet doors. Measure the depth of your cabinet doors and use mounting hardware of the correct length to avoid piercing through the door.
