Installation instructions for Ballet Bars with adjustable wall mounts

 
 
POSITIONING THE BRACKETS
Like a ruler, the distance between the holes in the wood ballet bar will designate the location of the brackets on the wall. Mark these distances off on the wall and use a level to make perfectly vertical lines at the marks. (Vertical lines should start at 29" from floor and go up the wall about 15".)
 
MOUNTING CHANNELS ON WALL
Hold each channel on the wall over one of the vertical lines so that you can see the line through the holes in the channel where the mounting screws will go. With a pencil, make little circles on the wall through the screw holes to mark where you will drill. There is a “nut stop” pressed into one end of each channel and it should be at the bottom which should be 29" from the floor. Of course walls will vary in construction and consequently so will the type of fastener needed to mount the channel. The screws provided will work well on most walls with wooden studs. To use these screws, the holes in the wooden studs should be drilled slightly smaller than the diameter of the screws to assure a snug fit.
 
MOUNTING EXTENSION STUDS IN WOOD BAR
Screw all extension studs into the wood bar clockwise by hand until the shoulders touch the wood. An additional 1/2 turn (NO MORE) may be necessary to straighten out the extension studs and make them all perpendicular to the wood bar and parallel to each other. Screw on wing nuts, washers, and square nuts exactly as shown in illustration.

MOUNTING BAR ASSEMBLY
Pick up bar assembly and slide the square nut, on the end of each extension stud, into the top slot of its corresponding channel (washers and wing nuts are outside). Tighten the wing nuts when the bar is at your desired height. To adjust bar, loosen the wing nut and slide it up and down the channel, then retighten the wing nut. Grab the wood bar at the point where the extension stud screws in and wiggle the bar up and down when tightening and loosening the wing nut.
 
 
FOR CUSTOM BARS ONLY THAT DON'T HAVE PRE-DRILLED HOLES
 
DRILLING HOLES IN WOOD BALLET BAR TO MOUNT EXTENSION STUDS
( omit if pre-drilled wood bar is used)
Locate a strong place on the wall for each bracket to be mounted and make a vertical mark at the center of each location. Take accurate measurements between these marks and mark the distance off on the wood bar. First use a 3/8" drill and make all holes 7/8" deep (NO DEEPER). Then go back to each hole with a smaller 5/16" drill and, in the same hole, go down another 5/8" making the total depth 1 1/2".
 
It is important that these holes are exactly parallel to each other and perpendicular to the wood ballet bar. (A drill press makes this job easier).
