Adapt

Step by step

1. 1

   Measure and mark

   Measure the centre-to-centre distance between the holes on the back of the Adapt coat rack. Transfer it to the wall at the desired height, using a spirit level to keep the marks straight.

   Note: The number of holes and the distance between them depend on the length. Always measure your own rack.
2. 2

   Drill holes

   • For masonry or concrete walls: Drill holes at the marked positions using a 10 mm drill bit. Drill to a depth of 70 mm. Ensure you drill straight (perpendicular to the wall).
   • For plasterboard (drywall) walls: The wall plugs in the box are fischer UX 10 × 60 R universal plugs, made for plasterboard as well as brick and concrete. In a hollow wall the plug knots up behind the board as you drive in the screw, so it holds like a cavity anchor. The board must be at least 12.5 mm thick. According to fischer you need a 10 mm bit, but in plasterboard tradespeople often drill slightly smaller, 9 or 9.5 mm, so the plug sits extra tight and doesn’t spin when you drive in the screw. If it still spins, or you want to be extra sure, squirt a little construction adhesive into the hole before you put the plug in, and let it cure before you drive in the screw.
   • For wooden walls: Do not use the 10 mm bit. Instead, pre-drill 6 mm pilot holes for the mounting screws. Wall plugs are not needed for wood.
3. 3

   Insert wall plugs

   Insert the provided 10 mm wall plugs into the drilled holes (not in a wooden wall).
4. 4

   Install mounting screws

   Place a brass washer onto the thread of each T25 mounting screw. Using the T25 bit, drive the mounting screws into the wall (or wall plugs) until the washers sit flush against the wall surface.
5. 5

   Attach brass covers

   Slide the brass covers over the exposed heads of the mounting screws.
6. 6

   Mount the coat rack

   Align the back of the Adapt coat rack with the mounting screws. Push the rack onto the mounts. Secure the rack by tightening the pre-inserted set screws using the 3 mm hex key.
