For concealed, permanent mounting to:

Stone walls

Masonry surfaces

Installation

Drill holes in the mounting surface slightly larger than the diameter of the studs. Fill mounting holes with silicone, epoxy or quickset cement. Set into the holes, and allow the adhesive to cure.  

For semi-permanent mounting to:

Cement block

Drywall

Wood paneling over stud construction

Using the plaque holes as a template, drill holes through the wall large enough to accommodate the butterfly assembly. Insert each machine screw through the plaque and screw on each butterfly. Fold the butterfly assemblies and insert them through holes until wings spring open inside the hollow wall.

Pull back on each screw head to press the butterfly against the inside wall. Turn each machine screw, first by hand, then with a screwdriver.

Rosettes, Machine Screws

and Expansion Sleeves (RM)

For semi-permanent mounting to:

Stone walls

For semi-permanent mounting to:

Plaster walls (small plates only)

Using plaque holes as a template, drill wall holes. Insert wood screws through the plaque holes and tighten screws with a screwdriver.

If rosette covers are provided, screw rosettes into the wood screw head.
