Installation guide
Grounded
Wall-mounted shoe rack
What you need and how to put up Grounded, one step at a time. The screws and wall plugs come in the box.
You'll need
- Drill with 10 mm bit
- T25 driver bit
- 3 mm hex key (Allen key)
In the box
Depending on the size purchased, this includes:
- 1x Grounded shoe rack (with pre-inserted set screws)
- 2x T25 mounting screws (3x for 200 cm version)
- 1x back plate
- 2x wall plugs (3x for 200 cm version)
- 2x brass covers (3x for 200 cm version)
- 2x brass washers (3x for 200 cm version)
Before you drill
Before drilling, use a detector to check the wall for hidden pipes or electrical wiring.
Step by step
-
Measure and mark
Place the back plate against the wall at the desired height. Use a spirit level to ensure it is straight. Mark the mounting holes on the wall through the holes in the back plate.
-
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 walls: Drill through the board with the same bit and use the wall plugs from the box.
- 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.
-
Insert wall plugs
Insert the provided 10 mm wall plugs into the drilled holes (not in a wooden wall).
-
Position back plate
Align the back plate with the holes in the wall.
-
Install mounting screws
Place a brass washer onto each T25 mounting screw. Using the T25 bit, drive the mounting screws through the back plate and into the wall (or wall plugs). Tighten until the washers sit flush against the plate.
-
Attach brass covers
Slide the brass covers over the exposed heads of the mounting screws.
-
Mount the shoe rack
Place the Grounded shoe rack onto the mounting screws. Secure the rack by tightening the pre-inserted set screws using the 3 mm hex key.
Cleaning and care
- Wood: Treat with furniture wax oil as needed.
- Brass: Polish with grade 0000 steel wool. Optionally, apply varnish to prevent patina (aging).
