Installation Process
Figure 1:Set of 4 Surface Mount L Brackets.
Loosely pre-install the L Brackets onto the outer sides of the frame for test fitting in the next step.
Figure 2: All 4 L Brackets loosely installed with frame.
Temporarily place the frame on the TV to determine location of where the L Brackets should be installed.
Mark the wall with a pencil to identify where the L brackets will meet the wall.
Repeat wall marking for all 4 L Brackets
Figure 3: Pencil mark locations of each of the L Brackets to align with holes on sides of frame
Install the 4 L Brackets on the wall at the four corners of the TV as shown. Only 1 screw per L Bracket is necessary (the extra holes are provided more for flexibility to decide which hole you want to use when trying to either anchor into a stud or avoid one)
Ensure the brackets are screwed into a stud for frames greater than 75 lbs.
For lighter frames you can just use the wall anchors to secure the brackets to the wall. The weight of the frame is distributed between the 4 L Brackets and the TV's wall mount.

Hang the frame on the TV and secure the brackets to the outside sides of the frame using the provided screws. Notice how the slots in the brackets will provide adjustability for the frame based on the depth of the wall mounted TV.
The L Brackets are available in a variety of depths. Your frame has been shipped with the necessary depth based on your TV thickness. If you need a different depth bracket please contact Customer Service.
