Attention
Please read and follow these instructions! Failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty and could result in board failure and possible injury.
- Always use the correct supplied mounting hardware for the type wall your board will be mounted on.
- Use the correct stated predrill for the type anchor you will be using.
- The Angle Brackets and Z Clips MUST be installed according to the layout and spacing as shown below.

Proper L-Clip Layout
Your top and bottom L-Clip layouts should be spaced like this for an 8’ wide board.
If you don’t use this number of L-Clips on top and bottom, your board could end up like this. Please follow these installation directions.

Quick start
- Check which method your board uses (L-Clip or Z-Clip) and use the matching instructions. Use the masonry anchors for masonry walls or the drywall anchors for sheet rock, each in a 1/4" predrilled hole.
- Z-Clip: Measure from the floor to where the top edge of the board will sit and mark it. Draw a line 3/4" below that mark, find a stud near each end and drill pilot holes on the line with a 1/8" bit.
- Z-Clip: Attach the Z-hangers with the long screws. Lift, tilt and slide the board down over the hangers so they catch in the top trim on the back, then draw a line along the bottom edge.
- Z-Clip: Lift the board off, draw a line 1-1/8" above the bottom line and drill pilot holes. Fasten the 2 bottom brackets with long screws, hang the board on the Z-hangers and secure it to the bottom brackets with 2 short screws.
- L-Clip: Measure from the floor to where the bottom edge of the board will sit and mark it. Draw a line 1-1/4" above it and drill 1/8" pilot holes at studs near each end.
- L-Clip: Attach half of the angle brackets along the bottom line with the long screws, equally spaced as shown in the bracket layout diagram. Set the board on them and draw a line along its top edge.
- L-Clip: Lift the board off, draw a line 1" below the top line, drill pilot holes and fasten the top angle brackets with long screws. Set the board on the bottom brackets and secure it to the bottom and top brackets with the short screws.
Frequently asked questions
Can the Best-Rite 303AB be mounted on drywall or concrete?
Yes. The kit includes masonry anchors for masonry walls and drywall anchors for sheet rock walls. Install either type in a 1/4" predrilled hole, and always use the supplied hardware that matches your wall type (page 3).
What size drill bit do I need for the pilot holes?
Pilot holes at the wall studs are drilled with a 1/8" bit. Holes for the masonry or drywall anchors are predrilled at 1/4" diameter (page 4).
What is the difference between L-Clip and Z-Clip mounting?
With Z-Clips, Z-hangers on the wall catch in the top trim on the back of the board, and 2 bottom brackets hold the lower edge (page 3). With L-Clips, angle brackets are fastened along both the bottom and top edges and the board is screwed to each one (page 4).
Does it matter how many L-Clips I use?
Yes. The angle brackets and Z-Clips must be installed in the layout and spacing shown. The manual shows the correct top and bottom L-Clip layout for an 8' wide board and warns that using fewer clips can lead to board failure (page 6).
Will installing the board incorrectly affect the warranty?
Yes. Not following these instructions voids the warranty and could result in board failure and possible injury (page 5).
