Tools

Gather these tools to begin the quick and straightforward process: a screwdriver, a measuring tape, a pencil, a drywall saw, and a stud finder. Safety wear, such as protective gloves and goggles, is always highly recommended. A small torpedo level is optional.

Step 1

To begin, identify the area you want to mount the brackets.

Use a stud finder around the area to make sure you don’t cut wires, pipes, or any other structural elements behind the wall. It is important to only cut where the drywall is. Use a measuring tape to ensure the cords you’re threading through the brackets will meet.

Step 2

Next, use a pencil to trace the mounting brackets for a snug fit. A torpedo level can ensure the bracket is straight.

Step 3

Use the drywall saw to cut out the two traced guides you created.

Step 4

Insert the brackets into the wall spaces you cut out. Use a screwdriver to secure them.

Step 5

Pull the cables through. Make sure you hold the end so you don’t drop the cable behind the wall.

Step 6

Pull the cables through. Make sure you hold the end so you don’t drop the cable behind the wall.

Voila! Installation is complete in six easy steps. You’ve created a professional look for your media console. Stray wires don’t have to be an issue any longer with this easy solution to conceal them.
