2.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Wall: Choose a suitable location on a drywall surface. Ensure there are no electrical wires or pipes behind the chosen area.
- Mark Mounting Points: Use the provided measuring template/ruler to accurately mark the positions for the mounting screws on your wall. The rack features embedded keyhole mounts for precise alignment.

- Mount the Rack: Align the keyhole mounts on the back of the coat rack with the exposed screw heads and slide the rack down to secure it in place. Ensure the rack is level and firmly attached to the wall.
