Putting on a towel bar involves leveling, marking, drilling pilot holes, installing drywall anchors (if needed), and then attaching the mounting brackets before finally securing the towel bar itself.
Here's a step-by-step guide based on available information:
-
Mark the desired location: Decide where you want the towel bar to go on the wall.
-
Ensure evenness using a level: Use a level to make sure your marks for the mounting brackets are aligned horizontally. This ensures the towel bar won't be crooked.
-
Drill pilot holes: Using the appropriate drill bit for your wall type (e.g., drywall, tile), create pilot holes at the marked locations for each mounting bracket.
-
Install drywall anchors (if necessary): If you're installing the towel bar on drywall and not hitting a stud, gently tap or drill drywall anchors into the pilot holes. These provide a secure hold for the screws.
-
Attach mounting brackets: Screw the mounting brackets into the wall, using either the drywall anchors or directly into a stud.
-
Secure the towel bar: Slide the towel bar onto the mounted brackets and tighten any set screws to hold it in place.
