If mounting to a studded wall: Scribe the center of the stud to the aluminum extrusion. At your mark, position drill bit at the center of the extrusion (use groove as a drill guide).
If mounting to a board frame: Predrill the maprail extrusion with 3/16" dia. holes on 16" centers. Position drill bit at the center of the extrusion (use groove as a drill guide).
Note, when attaching maprail to mounting surface, it is recommended that screw heads be countersunk. When maprail extrusion is installed, re-insert the cork by sliding it into the extrusion as shown in the illustration to the right. Trim overhanging cork from edges, and slide on maprail accessories as needed.
