Make sure you have the right tools:

1. A drill or an impact driver
2. A square socket
3. A pencil
4. A level
5. A stud finder
6. A measuring tape

What's included with your base:

• Top plate (x1)
• Bottom plate (x1)
• Peg (x1)
• Screws (x4)

1. It is crucial to screw the hook into a stud and not just into drywall.

2. Use a stud finder to locate the stud on the wall where you want to install your Bonnes Intentions hook.

3. Mark the center of the stud directly on the wall with a pencil.

TIP:
Electrical outlets are usually installed directly on the sides of studs. Locate an outlet, and most of the time, you'll find a stud nearby.

1. Measure the total length of your bike using the measuring tape (from the front wheel to the rear wheel);

2. Reflect that measurement onto your wall by measuring from the floor up to a height equivalent to your bike's length using the measuring tape;

3. Mark this spot on the wall with a pencil. The mark should be centered on the previously located stud;

4. Choose the height of the top plate by aligning:
a. The lower screw hole with the mark for approximately 12" of ground clearance, or
b. The upper screw hole with the mark for approximately 6" of ground clearance.

Insert the first screw using the drill. Level the hook and screw in the second one. Before proceeding to the next step, make sure the plate is still level and that all screws are securely fastened.

1. Insert the rectangular part of the peg into the slide on the top plate. Screw the peg into the tube until it is securely anchored;

2. Place your bike on the hook and adjust the distance between the wall and the peg based on your wheel size. The wheel should rest fully on the metal, not on the wall;

3. Make sure your bike is straight and slide the bottom plate under the part of the rear wheel that touches the wall. Mark the top and bottom of the plate with a pencil;

4. Remove your bike and screw the bottom plate into place using the drill, screws, and level.
