Installation Instructions
Find the studs, using one of the following methods:
A. Stud finder – a magnetic device which locates
nails.
OR
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting
surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate
a stud location.
After locating the stud(s), find the center by probing
the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the
stud. Then place a mark halfway between the
edges.
