Adapt - Coat Rack
Tools Required:
You will need a 10MM drill, a T25 bit, and a HEX3 Allen key.
Parts Included:
The package includes all necessary components for installation, corresponding to the size of the system you have purchased. This includes an Adapt Coat Rack with pre-inserted HEX3 Pinion Screws, T25 Screw Mounts, 10MM Raw Plugs, Brass Covers, and Brass Washers.
Installation Steps:
1. Measure and Mark
Begin by holding the coat rack against the wall at your desired height. Using a spirit level, mark the locations where the mounting pins on the back of the coat rack align with the wall. These marks will indicate where you need to drill. The distance between pins may vary depending on the size of your coat rack, so be sure to measure and mark based on the specific mounting points of your unit.
Important! – Before drilling, always check the wall for pipes or electrical wiring using appropriate equipment.
2. Drill
Drill holes at the marked points using a 10MM drill bit. Ensure you drill straight and perpendicular to the wall, to a depth of 70MM. If you are installing into a wooden wall, raw plugs are not required. In that case, pre-drill 6MM pilot holes to accommodate the T25 Screw Mounts.
Important! – Always drill perpendicular to the wall to ensure proper fit and stability.
3. Insert Raw Plugs
Insert the provided 10MM raw plugs into the drilled holes. If mounting to wood, skip this step and proceed directly to driving the screw mounts.
4. Drive Screw Mounts
Take each screw mount and slide one brass washer onto the sharp end. Using the T25 bit, drive the screw mounts into the wall (or raw plugs) until the washers sit flush against the surface.
Important! – Be careful not to overtighten, as this can affect the integrity of the coat rack.
5. Attach Brass Covers
Slide a brass cover over each exposed screw mount to conceal it and provide a clean finish.
6. Mount the Coat Rack
Align the back of the coat rack with the mounted screw pins. Use the HEX3 Allen key to tighten the pre-inserted pinion screws, securing the coat rack firmly to the wall.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Maintain the wooden parts of the coat rack with furniture wax oil as needed. Brass elements can be polished using grade 0000 steel wool. Optionally, you may varnish the brass to prevent natural patination over time.
