Installation:
STEP 1: Select the desired location for the Mantel Shelf.
STEP 2: Draw a line on the wall using the level in order to determine where the screw
holes will be located. Measure the distance that will be required between the screws
in order to mount the decorative ledge. Mark the positions of the screws in the desired
locations as shown in Figure 1.
NOTE: If the screws are being driven directly into a stud, pre-drill the screw holes
using a 1/8" drill bit and drive the screws without using anchors, leaving 3/8" of each
screw protruding from the surface of the wall, as shown in Figure 2. (Skip to STEP 3)
NOTE: If the screws are being driven into drywall and not into a stud, pre-drill the screw
holes using a 3/16" drill bit. Insert the anchors into the holes and drive the screws,
leaving 3/8" of each screw protruding from the surface of the wall as shown in Figure 3.
STEP 3: Position the keyholes on the back of the Mantel Shelf over the screws. Pull the
Mantel Shelf downward in order to secure it in place, as shown in Figure 4.
STEP 4: If the Mantel Shelf is too loose, or if it does not fit over the screws properly,
remove the Mantel Shelf and adjust the screws accordingly.
