Drywall installations require at least
one hole to align with a stud (see
diagram).
For holes which go ONLY into
drywall, drill 1/2 in. holes and use
3/16 in. toggle/bolt**.
For hole(s) which align with stud(s),
use #12 x 2 in. panhead screw

B) CONCRETE
For ALL holes, drill a 1/4 in. hole and
insert an anchor.
Thread a screw through track and into
each anchor.
