Knife Rack Mounting Instructions


Instructions for mounting racks to drywall and plaster walls. 
If you want to anchor to a stud, I recommend using a 3/32" or smaller bit for the pilot hole.


Step 1: mark where you want the rack to go.

Step 2: pull the mounting bracket away from the rack.


Step 3: position the bracket on the wall and mark one of the screw holes.
Here I'm pushing the supplied screw in to make the mark.

Step 4: using the mark, drill a 1/4" hole for the drywall/plaster anchor.

Step 5: insert the supplied drywall/plaster anchor.

You want to get it flush with the wall, so a few light taps can help.

Step 6: screw in one side of the anchor with supplied screw.

Step 7: this is where a level can help, but I usually eyeball it.

Step 8: mark the second hole. Here I'm pushing on the second screw.

Step 9: drill your second 1/4" hole using the mark you just made.

Step 10: insert your second drywall/plaster anchor.

Step 11: screw in your second screw.

Step 12: erase your pencil marks.

Step 13: snap on your knife rack. 
Be careful not to pinch your fingers - the magnets are strong!
