Method A: Pre-Marking the Wall

  1. Begin by marking the edges of your material where the edge grips will be positioned.
  2. Use the center hole in each edge grip barrel to mark where pilot holes will be drilled into the wall.
  3. Use a level to ensure all marks are aligned for a straight, even installation.

Mounting the Barrels:

  • Wood surfaces: Drill a small pilot hole and secure the barrels using the provided pan head screws.
  • Drywall: Drill a ¼" hole, insert the included nylon anchor, then secure the barrels.
  • Attach the edge grip inserts to your material.
  • Slide the inserts into the mounted barrels.
  • Tighten the set screws on each barrel to secure the piece in place.

Method B: Marking with the Insert Points

  1. Attach the adjustable edge grip inserts to your material.
  2. Note the small point on the bottom of each insert. This is used for marking hole placement.
  3. Press the artwork (with inserts attached) firmly against the wall.
  4. Remove the piece. Each point will leave a small mark indicating where to drill.
  5. Drill pilot holes at the marked points.
  6. Install the barrels (using screws or anchors as needed for your surface type).
