Using sixteen (16) 3/8” x 16mm BHMS Screws (eight screws per Screen Back Plate) fasten the Screen Back Plates to both of the Screen Support Brackets.

Installing the Tapered Pins in the Floating Lid What Are the Tapered Pins, and Why Use Them? The two 1½” x ¼” Steel Threaded Tapered Pins are used IN PLACE OF SCREWS to hold your cabinet top (lid) in place on the Lift System Top Plate (Part #8). The Tapered Pins will keep your lid firmly in place, but will also allow it to separate from the lift system if anything (like a finger) gets in the way when the TV lowers.
