determine the hardware best suited for your wall type.
Position the anti-tip brackets onto the wall 1” below case top

If the mounting locations are not positioned on a stud, drill 5/16”
clearance holes in the hole locations. Press wall anchors into
drilled holes.
If the hole locations are positioned on a stud, this step of
