Find the studs, using one of the following
methods:
A.
Stud finder – a magnetic device which
locates nails.

B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the
mounting surface to find a solid sound.

After locating the stud(s), find the center by
probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges
of the stud. Then place a mark halfway between
the edges. The center of any adjacent studs should
be 16 ″ or 24 ″ from this mark.
Draw a line down the center of the studs.
