• For Wood Stud Walls (16"-24" spacing):

  2. Position the drilling template at your desired height, ensuring it is level using the included bubble level. Mark the drill holes.
  3. Drill pilot holes into the center of the studs at the marked locations.
  4. Attach the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and washers. Tighten securely, but do not overtighten.
• For Concrete or Brick Walls:
  1. Position the drilling template at your desired height, ensuring it is level. Mark the drill holes.
  2. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
  3. Insert concrete anchors into the drilled holes. Ensure they are flush with the wall surface.
  4. Attach the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and washers, screwing them into the concrete anchors. Tighten securely.
