Be sure you are drilling into a solid surface, not drywall.

If drilling into drywall, use drywall anchors. Follow the instructions provided with the
wall anchors.
■
Attach the valance headboard to the head jamb. Use the 2" hex head screws.

Mount the installation brackets to the valance headboard. Follow the “no valance”
mounting procedures starting on page 3, with the valance headboard being the head jamb.

If necessary, adjust bracket spacing to avoid the valance headboard mounting screws.

Typically, the back of the installation brackets should align with the back of the
headboard.
