How to install the hook?

Prefer to read? The whole thing step by step — no special skills needed. The hook slides onto two screws and locks in place.

You'll need: PH2 screwdriver · hammer · drill with a 6 mm (¼″) bitIn the box: hook · 2 screws + 2 wall plugs each (+ spare) · wooden template
1Mark the spots
Step 1 - mark the spots through the template

Hold the wooden template level against the wall. Mark a dot through each of the two slots with a pencil.

2Drill the holes
Step 2 - drill the holes

Drill at both marks with the 6 mm bit. Soft walls (plasterboard, wood): the screwdriver can do it. Go slow.

3Insert the wall plugs
Step 3 - tap the wall plugs in flush

Put a plug into each hole and tap it in with the hammer until it sits flush with the wall.

4Start the screws
Step 4 - drive the screws partway in

Drive a screw partway into each plug — don't tighten fully yet. Leave the heads standing out.

5Set the depth
Step 5 - the template sets the screw depth

Hang the template over both screws and tighten until the heads press against it — its 2 mm (1/16″) thickness sets the exact depth.

Slide it off sideways — the heads now stand exactly 2 mm out: the gap your hook needs.

6Hang the hook
Step 6 - slide the hook down onto the screws

Put the keyhole slots over the screw heads and slide the hook down until it latches snugly. Gentle pull to check — done.
