Step 6:
Mount the wall plate
Note:
Any material covering the wall (such as sheetrock) must not exceed 5/8" (16 mm).
Option 1: Mounting on a wood-stud wall
1
Locate the studs. Verify the center of the stud with an edge-to-edge stud finder.
2
At the wall height you determined in the previous step, align the wall plate (
01
) against the wall and make sure
that it is level. Use a pencil to mark the screw hole locations, then remove the wall plate.
3
Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3" (75 mm) using a 7/32" (5.5 mm) diameter drill bit.
4
Align the wall plate with the pilot holes, then place the washers (
05
) over the holes in the wall plate. Insert the lag
bolts (
04
) through the washers, then tighten the lag bolts only until the washers are pulled firmly against the wall
plate.
Caution:
Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (
04
).
