Assembly & Installation
The Sorbus Wall Mounted Mug Rack requires minimal assembly. Follow these steps for secure installation:
- Choose Location: Select a suitable wall location in your kitchen, dining room, or coffee station. Ensure there are no electrical wires or plumbing behind the wall where you plan to drill.
- Mark Mounting Points: Hold the mug rack against the wall at the desired height. Use a pencil to mark the locations of the four keyhole mounting brackets.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. If installing into drywall without a stud, use the included wall anchors. For wood studs, drill smaller pilot holes appropriate for the screws.
- Insert Wall Anchors (if needed): Gently tap the wall anchors into the pilot holes until flush with the wall surface.
- Attach Rack: Align the keyhole brackets on the back of the rack with the drilled holes/anchors. Insert the screws and tighten them securely. Do not overtighten.

Maintenance & Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your mug rack, follow these simple care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the rack regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the powder-coated finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check all mounting points and hooks for any signs of wear or loosening. Tighten screws as necessary.
- Weight Limit: Do not overload the rack beyond its intended capacity to prevent bending or damage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Rack feels unstable or wobbly. | Mounting screws are loose; inadequate wall anchors; uneven weight distribution. | Tighten all mounting screws. Ensure appropriate wall anchors were used for your wall type. Redistribute mugs evenly. |
| Mugs slide off hooks. | Mugs are too small for hooks; hooks are bent. | Ensure mugs have handles large enough to securely fit the hooks. The hooks are designed to tilt upward to prevent sliding. If hooks are bent, inspect for damage. |
