Supply List
- Electronic stud finder
- Pencil
- Electric Drill
- 2-inch screw
- Use an electronic stud finder to locate the studs in the room where you plan to hang the clock. An electronic stud finder will indicate the area where each stud is located beneath the drywall.
- Choose a spot to hand the wall clock based on the location of the studs within the room. Choose a spot that is centered in location to the existing furniture in the space to create balance within the room. Make sure that the location that you choose is high enough that the clock can be seen from anywhere within the room.
- Mark the spot with a pencil where you have chosen to hang the clock.
- Use an electric drill to install a 2-inch screw into the wall in the area where you have marked the wall. Be sure that the screw goes into the stud so that the clock will be properly secured.
- Place the wall clock onto the screw using the opening on the back of the clock. The clock will have a small opening where a screw should easily slip into for ease of hanging.
- Stand back and look at the clock to determine if it needs to be straightened. If the clock is crooked, adjust it until it is straight.
