1. Install the Posts
Locate Mounting Holes
IMPORTANT!
The slide bar must be mounted to stud framing
supports at both the top and bottom mounting locations. Do not use
or depend on plastic wall anchors to attach the slide bar.
NOTE:
The slide bar should not be installed in an area 24
″
(61 cm)
to 48
″
(121.9 cm) from the floor.
Mark the top mounting hole location then measure down 28
″
(71.1 cm) from the first mark to determine the bottom mounting
hole location. Verify both marked locations are over a stud.
For tile or solid surface material:
Drill a 3/16
″
hole through the
finished surface only. Do not drill into the stud or the screws may
not hold.
Install the Escutcheons and Posts
Apply silicone sealant into the groove on the backside of an
escutcheon.
Position an escutcheon and post over the top mounting hole.
Attach the escutcheon and post to the wall with the screw.
Loosely tighten the screw.
Hold the slide bar up against the posts. Adjust the position of the
posts until the slide bar fits snug against the curved cutout of the
posts.
Remove the slide bar and tighten the screws to secure the posts.
