Upper and lower aluminum mounting angles are provided. The
installer positions these angles against the mounting surface,
drills mounting holes and secures with appropriate fasteners.
Because of widely varying surface conditions, anchor hardware
is provided by the installer. Fasteners should be specified by
qualified persons based on mounting surface structure and
should be installed in accordance with manufacturer’s
specifications.
APCO recommends a minumum of two (2) fasteners per
mounting angle with one (1) additional fastener per each
common stud width.
IMPORTANT: When handling large models you must
avoid
racking and twisting
. Assure that you have an appropriate
number of persons to support the unit during installation.
The standard Visuline cabinet housing is open on the backside.
It is placed over the angles and secured with flat head screws
along the top and bottom. Fasteners are virtually unnoticeable.
Installation
1. Locate one aluminum mounting angle where top of module
is to occur. The 1” leg should protrude out from the
mounting surface. The opposite leg is positioned
downward. Assure angle is level. Drill mounting holes and
secure upper angle to mounting surface using appropriate
fasteners.
2. Temporarily rest Visuline onto top angle. Place a guide line
onto the mounting surface along the bottom edge of the
cabinet. Masking tape can be used to avoid marking the
surface. Remove the unit.
3. Position lower angle approximately 1/8"
above
the guide
line to assure angles are hidden once installation is
complete. The 1” leg should protrude out from the
mounting surface. The opposite leg is positioned upward.
Anchor angle as required.
NOTE: For top hinged units with keyed lock(s), two or
more lower mounting angles are provided. They should be
installed left and right of each door lock.
4. Position Visuline over upper and lower angles. Mark each
angle using holes in cabinet housing as a guide. Remove
unit.
5. Using the 9/64" drill bit provided, drill holes through upper
and lower aluminum angles at points marked. A minimum
of two holes should be drilled in each angle.
6. Relocate Visuline module over mounting angles and secure
using #8 phillips, flat head screws provided.

Horizontal bars are welded into display cabinets for mounting
thru the backside. The installer drills mounting holes and
provides necessary anchor hardware. Fasteners should be
specified by qualified persons based on mounting surface
structure and should be installed in accordance with
manufacturer’s specifications. DO NOT over-torque fasteners.
This may distort the cabinet and cause door to function
improperly.
APCO recommends a minumum of four (4) fasteners per unit
with two (2) additional fasteners per each common stud width.
IMPORTANT: When handling large models you must
avoid
racking and twisting
. Assure that you have an appropriate
number of persons to support the unit during installation.
Installation
APCO recommends installer construct a full size template to
match display size. Cardboard from the shipping crate can be
used.
1.
On the template, mark 2 vertical lines minimum 3” from left
and right.
2.
With door closed, carefully turn Visuline face down onto a
protective surface. Place template onto backside of cabinet.
Draw a line across the template at the center of each of the
cabinet’s horizontal mounting bars.
3.
Position template against mounting surface. For hollow
surfaces, locate and transfer wall stud locations onto horizontal
template marks. For solid wall surfaces, select desired
mounting points and transfer to template. In each case, ensure
mounting points are between vertical template marks. Punch
small holes in template at each mounting point.
4.
Return the template to the backside of the Visuline and
transfer each mounting point. Drill thru cabinet’s horizontal bars
at each hole marked. NOTE: Ensure clearance holes are the
appropriate size to match anchor hardware.
5.
Locate Visuline and anchor as necessary. If door fails to
function properly, refer to Trouble Shooting Guide in this section.
Mounting to Metal Studs
Mechanical fasteners recommended for anchoring to metal
studs are 1/4" diameter (minimum) machine screws, nuts and
large fender-washers or preferably, 1/4" thick back-up plates.
Access to metal wall studs are accomplished by sawing a 4" to
6" in diameter hole thru the mounting surface. A properly
located hole provides access to multiple anchor locations. It is
important that each hole be positioned so that it is concealed
behind the unit once it is installed.
CAUTION: Care must be taken when drilling into any
mounting surface to avoid contact with existing pipes,
conduit and other utility lines.
