    • Adjustable gripper hooks
    • Ceiling or wall mount brackets
  • Tools
    • Drill and appropriate drill bits

Safety Precautions

  • Two-Person Job: For larger signs or ceiling installations, it’s recommended to have someone assist you.
  • Check Weight Limits: Ensure that the mounting hardware and ceiling/wall can support the weight of your sign.
  • Avoid Electrical Hazards: Be cautious of electrical wiring when drilling into walls or ceilings.
  • Wear Safety Gear: Use safety glasses when drilling and take precautions when using ladders.

Step 1: Plan Your Installation

  1. Decide on Mounting Location
    • Choose whether you will hang the sign from the ceiling or wall.

    • Ensure the location is near a power outlet for easy access.

      Measure and Mark

    • Use a measuring tape to determine the desired height of your sign and the distance between the mounting holes on the sign
    • Mark the spots on the ceiling or wall where the mounting brackets will be installed.
    • Use a level to ensure the marks are aligned properly.

Step 2: Install Mounting Brackets

  1. Prepare to Drill
    • Put on your safety glasses.

    • Select the appropriate drill bit size for the mounting screws or anchors.

      Drill Holes

    • Drill holes at the marked locations.

    • If mounting into drywall without studs, use wall anchors appropriate for the weight of your sign.

      Attach Brackets

    • Secure the mounting brackets to the ceiling or wall using screws.
    • Ensure they are firmly attached and can support the sign's weight.

Step 3: Prepare the Wire Cables

  1. Attach Gripper Hooks to Wires
    • Thread the steel cables through the adjustable gripper hooks.

    • Ensure the gripper mechanisms are functioning correctly.

      Adjust Wire Lengths

    • Determine the desired length of the wires to position your sign at the correct height.
    • If necessary, use cable cutters to trim excess wire.
    • Tip: Leave extra length initially; you can adjust and trim later.

Step 4: Attach Wires to the Sign

  1. Secure Wires to Sign
    • Thread the bottom end of each wire through the pre-drilled holes on the sign.
    • Use the provided hardware (e.g., clamps or crimps) to secure the wires to the sign.
    • Ensure the wires are evenly attached and the sign hangs level.

Step 5: Hang the Sign

  1. Connect Wires to Mounting Brackets
    • Attach the top end of each wire to the mounting brackets installed on the ceiling or wall.
    • If using hooks, simply loop or hook the wire onto the bracket.

    • Adjust the gripper hooks to set the sign at the desired height.

      Level the Sign

    • Step back and check if the sign is hanging straight.
    • Adjust the wire lengths using the gripper mechanisms until the sign is level.

Step 6: Final Adjustments

  1. Secure Excess Wire
    • If there's excess wire after adjustments, neatly coil it or trim it off.

    • Ensure all connections are tight and secure.

      Inspect Installation

    • Double-check all mounting points and wire connections.

    • Make sure everything is securely fastened and the sign is stable.

      Connect Power

    • Plug the sign into a power outlet.
    • Conceal the power cord using cable management solutions if desired.
    • Turn on the sign to verify it is working properly.

Additional Tips

  • Weight Support
    • Confirm that the ceiling or wall material can support the weight of the sign.

    • For heavy signs, it's best to mount brackets into ceiling joists or wall studs.

      Cable Management

    • Use cable ties or clips to manage any loose wires.

    • Consider using decorative chains or cords if preferred.

      Professional Assistance

    • If unsure about any step, especially when drilling into ceilings, consult a professional installer.

Maintenance and Safety

  • Regular Checks
    • Periodically inspect the wires and mounting brackets for signs of wear or loosening.

    • Tighten any loose components as needed.

      Avoid Swinging

    • Discourage people from touching or swinging the sign to prevent strain on the mounting hardware.
