To fasten the mounting plate to the wall:
3. If NOT already marked by the general contractor, mark the housing mounting
height over the elevator door.
4. If fastening to wall studs, mark the location of the wall studs.
5. Draw a level line ¾” inch above the housing mounting height.
This marks where the lower edge of the mounting plate sits.
6. Center the housing over the elevator door or if fastening through wall studs, align
predrilled holes on the mounting plate with wall studs.
NOTE: If fastening through studs, it is not necessary to center the mounting plate
precisely over the elevator frame as long as the housing itself is centered and
covers the plate completely.
7. Align the bottom of the mounting plate with the line you marked in step 3.
8. Level the plate horizontally and flush against the wall.
9. Mark and drill holes for fasteners.
10. Drill at least 8 holes--4 through the top row of predrilled holes and 4 through the
bottom row.
11. Drive fasteners through the holes, fastening the mounting plate to the wall.
12. Verify that the mounting plate is level and flush against the wall.
Anchor the mounting plate so
the bottom sits ¾” above
where you want the bottom of
the housing to sit.
