Installation of Drywall Anchors
Bookshelf Rack
TOGGLER® brand SNAPTOGGLE® Toggle Bolt Installation Instructions. DO NOT attempt to
test the toggle as you will be unable to use them again. Need additional toggles? You may
purchase them at Lowes or find a local store on toggler.com.
IMPORTANT!
If your house is older (maybe a Victorian?) with lath board plaster ceilings and walls, DO NOT use the new
drywall anchor system. Old lath board plaster walls are not strong enough to hold drywall anchors. In this case, you must
attach the wall rack to wood studs with wood lag screws (not included with your rack).
See diagram at bottom of page
1)
Using an electric drill, drill a ½” hole at each of your
UPPER
arm points. Hold metal channel flat alongside
plastic straps and slide channel through hole. Minimum clearance behind wall should be 1 ⅞”.
NOTE
: If a wood stud happens to be located at one of those points,
Use a 3/16” x 1 ½” wood screw (provided) and screw it into the
stud. (Pre-drill a 1/8” hole in the stud so the screws are easier to
screw into the hole).
2) Hold ends of straps between thumb and forefinger and pull
towards you until metal channel rests flush behind the wall.
Firmly push plastic cap up along guide straps with other hand.
Press cap inside the hole, so flange is flush with drywall sur-
face.
3)
Bend straps at wall by pushing side to side, snapping off straps
level with flange of cap.
4)
Repeat for other anchor point at top of rack arm.
5)
Install the
LOWER
red sleeve anchors. Using an electric drill with
5/16” bit, drill a hole at each of the
LOWER
marks. With your ham-
mer, gently tap a red wall screw sleeve (30B) into each hole until it is
flush with the drywall surface.
6)
Now position the rack on the wall ~ lining up hole(s) at
TOP
of
arms with
UPPER
hole(s) in wall. Screw button head bolt (19C)
through arm and into wall anchor. Tighten bolts snugly.
7) At this point make sure you have already installed 1/4”
buttonheads (18A) in the lower holes of the back bar. These are decorative only.
Place the back bar (3D)
in position INSIDE end piece (a 1/8” gap will remain between the wall and bar), align holes over hole in wall, then
drive a wall screw (30A) through back bar and bookshelf end piece into a red wall screw sleeve (red). Tighten
bolt. Repeat at other end of back bar.
8)
Install grid & brackets. Note narrow end of the three brackets; place narrow end at BACK of bookshelf rack in
the 1/8” gap. Position brackets in pot rack per illustra-
tion. Lay grid over brackets.
That’s It! You are now
ready to hang your
pots & utensils!
