Pro Tip: The track can be used as a straight edge to help locate the
correct position of interior wall brackets. Once the outer brackets
have been installed, place the track on the top of the outer bracket
with the carriers facing up. Check the levelness and the distance to
the floor. See Figure 6.
Then, position the interior brackets flush to the track and make
your marks where each bracket needs to go. See Figure 7.
A) If using wall anchors, follow the manufacturer specifications
for each wall anchor. In cases where the anchor needs to be
installed through drywall mud and drywall tape, a 1/4" pilot
hole is recommended. Using firm pressure square to the wall will
reduce the likelihood of wall anchors stripping. Avoid stripping
the anchors by reducing torque level on your drill. Place the bracket
against the wall, lining the holes up with the anchors. Screw in each
screw to secure bracket. Do not over torque. There should be no
bracket movement after installation. Top of bracket should be level
after installation. See Figure 8.
B) If drilling into studs, wall anchors are necessary. Carefully drill
a pilot hole for all screws. Use a 7/64" drill bit for the pilot holes if
using the provided screws. Place the bracket against the wall, lining
the holes in the bracket up with the holes in the wall. Screw in each
screw until secure. Make sure your screw has solid embedment into
the stud. Do not over torque. There should be no bracket movement
after installation. Top of bracket should be level after installation.
See Figure 9.

bracket against the wall, lining the holes in the bracket up with
the holes in the wall. Screw in each screw until secure. Do not over
torque. There should be no bracket movement after installation.
Top of bracket should be level after installation. See Figure 10.
