Installing the Invisible Clothesline

Step 1 Using a stud finder, locate any electrical wires, pipes, etc, and locate the timber frames. Place the template on the wall, and align the mounting holes with the timber frames (timber frame walls), or suitable areas of brickwork (masonry walls), being sure to avoid all concealed wires, pipes, etc.

Step 2 Drill four holes in your wall.

Step 3 Secure clothesline to the wall.

Step 4 Adjust cover magnets if required.

If you prefer, consult the “handyman” section of your local paper, or the yellow pages.

Important Installation Notice

You will find that the magnets are quite strong, and the problem will be the cover not getting close enough to the backing plate.

This is rare, and is caused by one or more of the following;

Sometimes the wall is not flat, resulting in one corner being pulled in too far when the backing plate is tightened.
Sometimes the drilled holes are too close together, resulting in the backing plate warping on the wall.

This situation is easily fixed by:

Making sure that all the magnets are adjusted to their outermost position, and tightened in place.
Easing off the wall anchors from being very tight, to firmly in place (this will reduce any warping associated with your wall)
If it is still not holding firmly on one corner, put some packing behind the backing plate on that corner, under the magnet strike plate.
