Grounded - Wall Mounted Shoe Rack

Tools Required:

You will need a 10MM drill, a T25 bit, and a HEX3 Allen key.

Parts Included:

The package includes all components required for installation. This typically includes a Grounded Shoe Rack with pre-inserted HEX3 Pinion Screws, Grounded Shoe Adapters, T25 Screw Mounts, a Back Plate, Raw Plugs, Brass Covers, and Brass Washers — all suited to the size of the system you have purchased.

Installation Steps:

1. Measure and Mark

Begin by holding the Back Plate against the wall at your desired height. Using a spirit level, mark the mounting points on the wall that align with the holes in the Back Plate. Be sure to measure and mark based on the actual mounting positions on your specific product.

Important! – Before drilling, always check the wall for pipes or electrical wiring using appropriate equipment.

2. Drill

Drill holes at the marked positions using a 10MM drill bit. Ensure you drill straight and perpendicular to the wall, to a depth of 70MM. If installing into a wooden wall, raw plugs are not required. Instead, pre-drill 6MM pilot holes for the T25 Screw Mounts.

Important! – Always drill perpendicular to the wall for a secure and accurate fit.

3. Insert Raw Plugs

Insert the provided 10MM raw plugs into the drilled holes, unless mounting into wood.

4. Mount Back Plate

Align the Back Plate over the wall so that the holes line up with the raw plugs or pilot holes.

5. Drive Screw Mounts

Slide a brass washer onto each screw mount. Using the T25 bit, drive the screw mounts through the holes in the Back Plate and into the wall until the washers sit flush against the plate.

Important! – Be careful not to overtighten the screw mounts, as this can affect the integrity of the Grounded Shoe Rack.

6. Attach Brass Covers

Slide the brass covers over the exposed screw mounts for a clean, finished look.

7. Mount the Grounded Shoe Rack

Place the Grounded Shoe Rack onto the screw mounts and secure it by tightening the pre-inserted pinion screws using a HEX3 Allen key.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Maintain the wooden surfaces with furniture wax oil as needed. Brass components can be polished with grade 0000 steel wool, and optionally varnished to reduce patina over time.
