For attaching to a wall stud, each bracket requires two #10 wood screws (round- or pan-head) with
#10 washers, or two #10 washer-head screws. The screws must be long enough to penetrate at least
3/4 inch (20 mm) into supporting wood or metal wall stud.
For hollow-wall mounting, each bracket requires two wall anchors with washers. Wall anchors and
washers must be size #10.
