1. Attaching to wall stud: This method pro-
vides the strongest hold. Insert mounting
screws through mounting bracket and into
wall studs.
2. Attaching to wall anchor: This method
allows you to attach mounting bracket to
hollow walls (wall areas between studs)
or to solid walls (concrete or masonry).
Decide which method better suits your needs.
Either method will provide a secure hold for
the mounting bracket.
