Installation Process:
- Position your WAYMKR Mount on the wall at your desired gun location, ensuring the top edge of the back mounting plate is level.
- Mark hole locations with a pencil.
- Move the mount out of your way and drill the 1/4" holes for drywall anchors or 1/8" holes for solid backing.
- When using drywall anchors, lightly tap them into the drilled holes until flush with the drywall surface.
- Align the mount with your holes and install the screws. Avoid over-tightening, as it may weaken the anchor point.
- Mount your gun, enjoy a job well done, and take a photo and tag us in your social media post showing off your mount!
