TOGGLER® brand SNAPTOGGLE® Toggle Bolt Installation Instructions
DO NOT attempt to test the snaptoggle as you will be unable to use it. Should
you need additional snaptoggles, you may purchase them at Lowes or find a lo-
cal resource on toggler.com
IMPORTANT! If your house is older (maybe a Victorian?) with lath board plaster ceilings and walls, DO NOT
use the new drywall anchor system. Old lath board plaster walls are not strong enough to hold drywall anchors. You
must attach the pot rack to wood joists with 4” wood hook/screws (included with your pot rack).
1) Using an electric drill with ½” bit, drill a hole at each of your marked
points. Hold metal channel flat alongside plastic straps
and slide channel through hole. Minimum clearance behind ceiling
should be 1 ⅞”.
NOTE: If a wood joist happens to be located at one of those points, use one of
the
4” wood screw hooks provided and screw it into the joist. (Pre-drill a hole in the
joist so the hook is easier to screw into the hole.)
We also understand--if you prefer, you can use the two wood screw hooks provid-
ed and drive them into the joists so you’re confident with the strength of the at-
tachment. However, to do so will likely require placing a cross bar (not included)
above the ceiling which will often necessitate a carpenter’s services.
2) Hold ends of straps between thumb and forefinger and pull toward you until chan-
nel rests flush behind drywall. Slide plastic cap along straps with other hand until
flange of cap is flush with the ceiling.
3) Bend straps at ceiling by pushing side to side, snapping
off straps level with flange of cap.
4) Insert screw hook and tighten until flush, then stop.
NOTE: If you are also installing Trim Ceiling Covers (a RACK IT UP accessory), see package
instructions before inserting and tightening bolt/hook.
