Installation

Your Draper screen can be mounted on a wall or suspended from the ceiling, 

or mounted on 6" or 10"-14" extension brackets. 

Extension brackets must be 

ordered separately from Draper

. With each method of installation, the case 

must be mounted level and with the flat back parallel to the wall.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the hardware which comes with 

the screen or is specified in these instructions.
The screen (or wall extension brackets) should be mounted into studs or 

blocking in the wall/ceiling, or in drywall (minimum thickness 

1

/

2

") with specified 

anchors. For any other type of installation, follow all local building and safety 

codes.
Steel studs, concrete or cinder block walls and all other types of non-wood 

frame construction require the use of special screws or anchors. The selection 

of appropriate mounting hardware should be made by a qualified professional 

installer.
When locating viewing surface and checking clearance for screen’s operation, 

remember surface is centered in case.
Take care to install wall/ceiling electrical box and conduit so they will be fully 

concealed by the screen case after installation. 
Handle case carefully to avoid scratching.
Regardless of mounting method, screen should be positively and securely sup-

ported so that vibration or even abusive pulling on the viewing surface will not 

cause case to work loose or fall. Installer must insure that fasteners used are of 

adequate strength and suitable for the mounting surface chosen.

Wall Mounting

Mount two, three or four aluminum brackets provided (“Z” Clips) on the wall at 
desired height, using appropriate fasteners. Verify that they are in line and level 
to fully engage with the mounting lip on back of screen case. 1

" of free space 

is required above the “Z” Clips to allow case lip to be engaged over the lip of  
the “Z” Clips. 

Engage the lip on back of screen case with lip of “Z” Clip and gently pull down 
to fully engage case to brackets. 

These instructions are meant as a guide only. They do not imply any 

responsibility on the part of Draper, Inc. for improper installation or faulty 

workmanship at the jobsite.

  ation will mean long and satisfactory service from your Draper screen.

  become damaged or should other service be required.

3

 Screen should be installed level (using a carpenter’s level).

Ceiling/Suspended Mounting

Locate two offset ceiling brackets (supplied) and slide these into the channel 
on top of screen case by aligning the chamfered 
edges of each bracket parallel to the channel 
length. Allow bracket to drop against bottom of 
channel and then rotate bracket counter-clock-
wise. Slide one bracket to each end of screen 
case until it stops against end cap of case. 
Tighten two set screws to lock bracket in place. 
Make sure that the flange of the ceiling bracket 
that has four holes is extended beyond the end 
caps of the case. Repeat above procedure for 
second ceiling bracket, making sure to slide it 
towards opposite end of case.

To mount against ceiling,

 hold screen case against ceiling and mark mount-

ing hole locations. Each bracket has two holes towards the front edge and 
two holes towards the back edge. Installer must use at least two fasteners 
per bracket with one fastener in one of the two holes closest to back edge 
of bracket, and one fastener in one of the two hole closest to front edge of 
bracket. Installer must insure that fasteners are of adequate strength and suit-
able for the mounting surface chosen.

To mount suspended from ceiling,

 the brackets need to be installed on 

screen case as noted on page 1. Use “S” Hooks through the holes in the brack-
ets to attach to ceiling. Select the set of holes that allows the screen to hang in 
a vertical position. The installer is to provide the "S" Hooks and the materials 
and fasteners to attach the “S” Hooks to the ceiling. Installer must insure that 
the fasteners and suspension material is of adequate strength and suitable for 
the mounting surface chosen.
