Wood surface: Place the hanger up to the marked out holes. Screw the hanger to the wall with wood screws.
Aluminum enclosures and porches: Drill a small hole at the marked-out holes. Secure the hanger to the wall with the provided sheet metal screws.
Concrete and masonry: Drill 1/4-inch holes with a masonry drill bit at the marked-out holes. Drill these holes 1 inch deep and insert plastic anchors. Tap them in with a hammer and screw the hanger to the wall. Alternatively, use concrete screws, such as the Tapcon brand, in lieu of plastic anchors and screws. Screw Tapcons directly into the concrete.
