To install a towel dispenser, you typically insert wall anchors into pre-drilled holes, align the dispenser over the anchors, and secure it to the wall using a minimum of four screws.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Determine the Mounting Location: Choose a suitable location for the dispenser, considering accessibility and proximity to sinks. Ensure the wall is appropriate for mounting.
-
Mark the Mounting Holes: Use the dispenser's mounting plate as a template to mark the locations of the screw holes on the wall. Use a level to ensure accurate and level placement.
-
Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes into the wall at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit should match the size recommended for your wall anchors.
-
Insert Wall Anchors (if needed): If mounting into drywall or other hollow walls, insert wall anchors into the pilot holes. This provides extra support for the screws.
-
Align and Mount the Dispenser: Align the dispenser's mounting holes with the wall anchors or pilot holes.
-
Secure with Screws: Drive screws through the dispenser's mounting holes and into the wall anchors (or directly into the wall studs). Ensure the screws are tightened securely, but avoid overtightening which could damage the dispenser or the wall. Use at least four screws for stability.
-
Load Towels: Once the dispenser is securely mounted, load it with the appropriate type of towels according to the manufacturer's instructions.
