Mounting Your Plaq on the Wall
Download Hanging instructions PDF
The keyhole slot routed into the back of your plaq is designed to accept a #8 or #10 Panhead (round-headed) screw. For wide plaqs, two screws can be used. The screw(s) should be set into studs, or the appropriate anchor, to a depth that will result in a small amount of friction between the wall and the plaq: the underside of the screw head approximately 1/8th of an inch from the wall. Some trial and adjustment may be necessary.
With your screw(s) properly anchored into the wall, rest the back of the plaq against the screw and slide the plaq up or down until you feel the screw-head engage into the slot. Keeping the screw head resting in the slot, slide the plaq left or right until you feel the screw drop into the hole at the end of the slot. Pressing the plaq against the wall, slide it back to center it on the screw. If two screws are used, engage one screw as above, then slide the plaq back past the center to engage the other screw, then reverse the direction to center the plaq on the pair.For setting your screw into drywall we recommend E-Z Anchors (see diagram below) If the screw location is into a stud, no anchor is required. Other types of anchors are available for brick or cement walls. Ask your hardware store.
Remember… ARTiPLAQs are for interior wall hangings
