3. Drill holes through the drywall and into the wood

1 1/2" deep, see Figure 7 above.
4. After the holes are drilled, mount the wall plate using
the self tapping screws.
Drywall Surfaces
1. Locate the best mounting location in the ceiling or
wall. Using the wall plate as a template, mark the hole
positions on the mounting surface. For in-wall
applications, position the mounting holes in a vertical
pattern, see Figure 8 on the next page.
2. Drill holes in the drywall using a 5/16" drill bit.
3. Once the holes are drilled, insert the alligator anchor
into the holes. Make sure the anchor is flush with the
wall and/or ceiling surface, see Figure 8 on the next
page.
