How to Install Your Wall-Mounted Menu: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you're ready to elevate the look of your establishment with a sleek, wall-mounted menu, installation is easier than you think! In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process with a mix of practical tips and handy tools. Whether you’re a seasoned DIY enthusiast or just trying your hand at it, this will help you achieve a secure and stylish result.

Pro Tip: If you're unsure about the type of fastener to use, consult your local hardware store for advice on the best option for your specific wall material.

Step 1: Gather Your Tools and Plan Your Installation

Before you start, make sure you have everything you need on hand.

What’s Included in Your Package:

Rails
Mounting hardware (2 dowels and screws per rail)
Installation auxiliary tool for marking drill spots

What You’ll Need to Provide:

Drill (with appropriate bits for your wall material)
Screwdriver
Pencil for marking spots on the wall
Level (optional but helpful for accuracy)

Instructions:

Decide where to place the menu. This could be at eye level behind a counter or in a high-visibility spot in your space.
Use the installation auxiliary tool to mark the exact drilling spots on your wall.
Insert your pencil into the square holes on the tool for horizontal alignment.
Use the round holes for vertical alignment.
Double-check the marks using a level to ensure everything is aligned properly. Misaligned rails will affect the look and functionality of the menu.

Pro Tip: Take a moment to envision the final placement before drilling. If you're installing multiple rails, plan for consistent spacing.

Step 2: Mounting the Rails

Now that your marks are ready, it’s time to install the rails securely.

Instructions:

1. Drill Holes:

Select a drill bit that matches the size of the included dowels.
Drill holes into the wall at the marked spots, ensuring they’re deep enough for the dowels to fit snugly.

2. Insert Dowels:

Push the included dowels into the drilled holes. You may need a gentle tap with a hammer to secure them flush with the wall.

3. Secure Screws:

Partially screw the included screws into the dowels, leaving a small gap (around 2-3 mm) between the screw head and the wall. This gap will allow the rail brackets to hook onto the screws.

4. Hang the Rail:

Align the brackets on the back of the rail with the screws.
Carefully hook the brackets onto the screws, ensuring they’re securely attached and not wobbly.

5. Tighten If Needed:

Once the rail is in place, gently tighten the screws if necessary to ensure a snug fit. Avoid overtightening, as it can damage the rail or wall.

Weight Limit Reminder: Each rail is designed to support a maximum load of 1 kg. Exceeding this limit could compromise the installation.

Step 3: Adjust for Wall Types

Not all walls are created equal, so it’s important to adapt your installation to your specific wall material.

For Standard Walls (Brick, Concrete, Drywall):

The included dowels and screws are compatible with most standard walls. Follow the steps above for a secure installation.

For Delicate or Non-Traditional Walls (Glass, Tiled Surfaces):

If drilling isn’t an option, consider using self-adhesive strips (e.g., 3M Command). These are particularly useful for temporary or delicate installations.
Ensure the adhesive strips are rated to hold at least 1 kg per rail for safety.

When in Doubt: Visit your local hardware store or consult a professional for guidance on fasteners suited to your wall material.

Final Safety Note

While this product is designed for easy self-installation, improper mounting can result in the menu falling, potentially causing damage or injury. If you’re unsure about any part of the process, don’t hesitate to call in a professional.
