When running two or more lengths of track continuously along a wall we suggest you use just one wall anchor to support both track ends where they join. This will ensure the two ends are perfectly aligned. | |||
Fixing to your wall
| Plasterboard Walls: Hold the wall anchor butted up against the ceiling with its wings pointing upward. Fit an 8 gauge screw into the hole in the wall anchor and tap with a hammer to mark the screw position. Then drill on the mark using a 3mm drill (1/8"). If you happen to strike a timber stud fix the wall anchor in place with a 25 x 8 gauge screw. |

| If there is no stud, drill the hole out to 6mm (1/4") and fit a metal "Wallmate" fitting. Then fix the wall anchor using a 25 x 8 gauge screw. Hold the track in place and snap onto the wall anchors. | ![]() |
Masonry Walls: Hold the wall anchor firmly against the wall butted up against the ceiling and using the anchor as a guide drill into the wall with a 4mm (5/32") masonry drill to a depth of 20mm (1") or so. Now redrill to a depth of 40mm (2") using a 6mm (1/4") masonry drill. Tap a 6mm (1/4") wall plug into the hole so the top is flush with the surface and fix the anchor in place with an 25 x 8 gauge screw. When the wall anchors are in position hold the track in place and snap the track onto the wall anchors.
