Installation Tips

Congratulations on the purchase of you new wall hanging. Here are a few helpful hints for mounting this product. All wall hangings come with a cantilever cleat. This design will support the mirror on the wall if installed properly.

IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN THAT THE BRACKET IS NOT SECURE
CALL A PROFESSIONAL HANDYMAN OR CARPENTER.

Here is the standard installation procedure. Some applications may vary:

Drywall installations:

  • Remove the wood cleat from the back of the wall hanging.
  • Drill 2 holes spaced apart. Countersink if necessary for flat screw head.
  • Scribe a pencil line on your wall with a level.
  • Make a center mark on your wall and the wood cleat.
  • Line up the bottom of the wood cleat on your line (predetermine desired height).
  • Prepare 2 -3/16" toggle bolts through the cleat (or large screw if there is a stud). Pre - punch holes if using toggle bolts.
  • Mount the bracket on the wall at your desired height. The flange needs to be away from the wall (not flush up against it).
  • Finish secure and torque down on screw / bolt.
  • Screw head must be flat, flush or partially recessed into wood bracket (to prevent damage to the back side of the mirror through the wall hanging).
  • "Grab Hold" of the cleat to ensure it is secure!!!
  • Carefully (2 people) lift the wall hanging up over the cleat until the wall hanging fits directly onto it.
  • Check the sides to see that they are flat against the wall to ensure proper mounting.
  • If not straight, remove the wall hanging and loosen bolts slightly. Tap on the cleat to reposition it as necessary.
  • Re-hang the wall hanging and ENJOY!
