Mounting Standards in a Corner:

drill or screwdriver.

Position one Standard where you want it on the wall.
–
Mark the position of the second screw hole from the top
of the Standard.
Drywall & Plaster Anchor with Spacer
(Figure A)
Used for mounting the Standards into
1/2" drywall
(most
common wall type) or
5/8" to 1" drywall/plaster
–
Enlarge the hole with a 3/8" drill bit.
–
Remove the screw from the white anchor; remove and discard
the grey insert.
–
Add the grey spacers included in the packaging to the
white anchors.
–
Use a plastic mallet to gently tap the anchor (with spacer) so the
top of the anchor is flush with the wall.
–
Using a level, check that the Standard is straight.
–
Mark and drill the remaining holes and install all of the screws and
necessary anchors.
–
To install the next Standard, measure and mark out a suitable
distance between the two Standards, based on your custom design.
–
While holding the unattached Standard to the wall, place a Shelf
on the Brackets. Adjust the spacing as needed and check that the
Shelf is level.

–
Mark, then drill, the remaining holes and screw the second Standard
into place as in Step 2. Repeat for each Standard
