1.
Select wall location for your LocBoards and the desired vertical or horizontal mounting pattern you wish to mount in.
When selecting a location for mounting always make sure that mounting locations do not fall in line with, are adjacent
to, or interfere with any internal or external electrical wiring, wall mounted or built-in electrical appliances, heaters, gas
lines, ductwork or plumbing inside of wall, or are located on the opposite side of any wall surface from where you are
mounting. If you are unsure, please consult a professional before proceeding with installation.
2.
(Using Images on Back)
There are three screw holes in each mounting flange on the back of your LocBoard that are
accessible through the square holes on the front.
3.
Place 1 LocBoard with mounting flanges flat against wall surface. While using a level to make sure your board is straight
and squared, looking through the square holes on the front of the board, mark the centers of all 6 screw holes onto your
wall surface. Note: Installation for first board should be completed before marking mounting holes for the second
board.
4.
Pre-drill holes for #8 wall anchors marked in Step 3 using 7/32" standard or masonry drill bit depending on wall surface.
I
f you hit a wood stud stop drilling and using a 7/64” drill bit create a pilot hole for the wood screw Note:
Avoid over
drilling holes. (Plastic wall anchors should fit snug.)
5.
Insert plastic wall anchors in each hole d
rilled in Step 4 except where you drilled 7/64” pilot hole for wood stud.
6.
Align mounting holes in wall surface with screw holes in back flanges. Insert wood screws through the front square
opening and into pre-installed plastic wall anchors. Tighten all screws. The head of each screw should not be visible and
will be tight against inside surface of each mounting flange.
7.
Repeat Steps 2-6 for second LocBoard installation.
