Keyboard Tray

1. Review the provided template or instructions for mounting.

2. Mark your holes and drill for the tray, if applicable.

3. Mount the keyboard tray to the shelf or component.

4. Adjust the tray as needed.

Marker Boards

Marker bords usually have an aluminum “z” cleat on the back side and there are usually 2 of them. Figure out where you want the board to be and mark the bottom. Make a mark. Now on the back side of the board tape the “z” cleats together if they aren’t already. Now measure from the bottom up to the bottom of both or more “z” cleats. Transfer those marks to the wall, and with a level draw out the lines. remove the tape on the “z” cleat so that they separate. One will come off and the other will be attached. Take the one that came off and Line up the bottom of the “z” cleat with the lines you just made and find your studs. Mark them out on the “z” cleat. If there are no studs or just need to use a toggle make sure that the bolt you are going to use isn’t so big that it interferes with the install. If it is going to you will have to use an easy anchor instead. Drill out your holes in the “z” cleat. Drill out and add any anchors to the wall that are needed. Now put the “z” cleat back on the wall and anchor them to it. Now grab the board and get raise it about 6 inches higher than it should go. Press it to the wall and bring it down until it slides into the “z” cleat. Give it a strong push down to make sure that it goes all the way in. add any accessories and make sure it is clean for delivery.

Tack Boards

1. Complete the full installation of the adjacent or surrounding system.

2. Measure the area to ensure the tack board will fit.

3. Place circle of liquid nails on the back of the tack board.

4. Place the tack board on the wall.

5. Secure in place using 1 1/4” nails. Ensure they sit below the fabric so they are not seen.

Monitor Mounts

Open the box and grab the instructions grab a drill bit if it needed based on what they say. Follow the instructions to mount the mount. Once complete if the customer has the monitors go ahead and mount them but if they don’t have them or they prefer to do it them selves then leave the instructions behind for them
