Step 3: Locate Wall Studs
Locate and mark the position of the wall's interior studs to which you will fasten the metal bracket. An electronic stud finder is recommended. Alternatively, studs can be located by listening for a solid sound when knocking on the wall.
Special Note 1: If studs do not align with the vanity's mounting location, additional wood blocking (e.g., 2x4 lumber) can be installed between studs.
Special Note 2: Due to the cabinet's narrow width, drywall anchors may be used if wall studs are not spaced appropriately.
Diagram Description: Illustrates using a stud finder on a wall to locate studs, with pencil marks indicating their positions.
Step 4: Position and Mark Bracket
Position the metal bracket on the wall so that the holes align with the center points of the studs. Mark these positions with a pencil.
Diagram Description: Shows the metal bracket (B) being held against the wall, with pencil marks made through the bracket's holes onto the wall.
Step 5: Drill Holes
Drill holes for the screws at the marked positions. Ensure the holes have a depth of no less than 1 1/2 inches. If wall studs are not in the correct positions, insert drywall anchors (C) into the holes using a hammer.
Materials:
- A = 11PCS Screws for Bracket Ø4*40mm
- C = 11PCS Drywall Anchors (optional) Ø8*38mm
