The Container Store Elfa - Wall-Mounted Standards; Install Wall-Mounted Standards

TIP
Tools needed: level, power drill, drill bits, #2 Phillips head
bit for a power drill, hammer, plastic mallet, ladder or step stool
• Mounting Standards in a Corner: Install the Standard
approximately 2" from the corner to allow enough room for the
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. (Figure B)
– Mark, then drill, the remaining holes and screw the second Standard
into place as in Step 2. Repeat for each Standard
.
