Can you handle a screwdriver? If the answer is yes, you can install your coat rack. All tool boxes have the needed tools already in it to mount a coat rack.To begin you will need to decide where you have a need for a coat rack, customarily located by an entrance door. Once the place is determined you will wish to established the elevation commencing from the floor to set up your coat hooks. Customary mounting heights are something like 50 inches for children to utilize and something like 62 inches for adult use. The installed elevation is left to you depending on your wishes.

Now you are prepared to get going on marking the position for your coat rack measure up from the floor in more or less the center of your chosen position and situate a portion of tape on the wall and mark the desired elevation on the portion of tape, the use of the tape precludes putting marks on the wall. Using a level, yet again you can use a traditional level place the level or laser on your mark and hold it horizontal and mark the left and right ends of the position of the coat rack. If you do not have access to a traditional level or laser you can obtain a piece of tape more or less the span of the coat hook and put it on the wall level, stand back and carefully examine the tape does it look horizontal? if not adjust until you have a nice horizontal tape line.

Once you have a good level tape line to lead you in the putting up of a coat rack. You will need to find the position of the studs. The piece of tape that was installed earlier is the position to mark the location of each wall stud. A wall stud locator is the standard tool used for fining the position of the studs, a stud locator sells for more or less $10 to $12.00. If a stud locator is not on hand look for an electrical plug in, these are in general nailed to a stud. Wall studs are placed every 16 inches.

Our goal is in site if your coat rack employees a straight through holding scheme, hold your coat rack right on the previously established level line situated on the tape. Take the installation screws put it in the installation hole and mark the wall, repeat this for all installation holes. If your coat rack uses a key hole installation method you will be required to measure the gap between the keyholes and transfer these measurements to the tape. As soon as the keyholes are marked you need to drill the screw holes, check the screws and select a twist drill bit a little smaller than the screw and bore the holes. If you are installing the coat rack with the trough hole installation procedure position the coat rack align with the level line and drilled holes put in the installation screws and snug them evenly. If you are employing the key hole installation procedure put in the screws run screws until the head of the screws protrudes more or less 1/4 of an inch from the wall, put the coat rack over the screws and slide down. You’re new coat rack is now ready for coats.
