and Hanging Standards

• Top Tracks have a top and a bottom. The TOP is
designated on the label and has two notches to allow
Hanging Standards to be inserted properly. (Figure A)
Notches
Level the Top Track
– Place the Top Track at desired height (refer to your design). Place the level at
the bottom of the Top Track to ensure it is straight. (Figure A)
STEP 2
– While leveling your Top Track, mark all the holes with a pencil.
– Set the Top Track aside, then drill all marked holes with a 1/8" drill bit.
(Figure B)
– If you hit wood, continue drilling the entire length of the drill bit.
– In most applications, you will not hit wood for every hole. If you find
you’ve hit the hollow part of the wall, mark that hole with a small “X.”
(Figure B)
– The “X” is to remind you, after drilling all holes, to go back and enlarge
that hole with the appropriate drill bit size for the hardware needed for
your wall construction (see page 2).
TIP
• For longer Top Tracks, drill the center hole and secure with one screw.
Tighten the screw enough to hold the Top Track against the wall while
leveling and marking the rest of the holes.

TIP
•
Be careful not to drill into any electrical wires, ductwork,
plumbing or other damageable components. If you have any
questions on the locations of these wires or lines, please contact
a professional electrician or plumber before drilling.
STEP 3
Install the Top Track
C
– Place the Top Track on the wall and insert and tighten all the screws
using a power drill with a #2 philips head bit. (Figure C)
– To avoid stripping the screw, finish hand tightening with a #2 Phillips
head screwdriver.
– In order for the wall anchors to be secure, it is important to HAND
tighten the screw until it stops turning.
– It is important NOT to overtighten, because this may result in a
stripped screw.
