Instructions

    • 1

      Unpack your Gladiator cabinet and lay the components out on a workbench or table for easy access. For best results, lay a towel on the table or workbench beforehand so you can easily identify each mounting component.

    • 2

      Decide where to hang your Gladiator cabinet, then hold the mounts against the wall and mark the holes in the brackets on the wall with a pencil. The best place is just over or right beside an electrical outlet for easy use of the tool chargers you will store.

    • 3

      Pick a masonry drill bit one size down in diameter from the diameter of the screws enclosed with your Gladiator cabinet and attach it to a drill. Tighten the chuck to hold the masonry bit securely in the drill.

    • 4

      Put on safety glasses. Drill pilot holes in the garage wall where you made the pencil marks using the drill, then insert plastic anchors in the pilot holes.

    • 5

      Affix the cabinet mounts to the wall using screws and a screw gun, then hang your Gladiator cabinet on the wall.

    • 6

      Place your hand tools and power tools along with chargers into the Gladiator cabinet to finish the installation.
