In your particular application where we'll be installing the LED screen directly to a wall, plywood will need to be installed first. To install the plywood to the wall, keep these methods in mind. First, three quarter inch plywood is what we recommend being installed to your wall. It needs to be a high strength plywood, and it should not be OSB or MDF. It needs to be high strength plywood. To fasten the plywood to your wall, the appropriate fastener will need to be utilized. The fastener length needs to be determined by the total thickness that you need to accomplish that accounts for the three quarter inch plywood plus whatever drywall you have in place, and then to allow for at least a two and a half inch depth into the structural stud behind that. So for example, if we have a three quarter inch plywood plus a three quarter inch sheetrock and we need that two and a half inch depth into the stud, we'll need to utilize a four inch length fastener. The fastener should be a five sixteenths diameter lag screw that will then fasten to the plywood into the stud. When installing that fastener, be sure to sink it into the plywood so that the head of the fastener is flush with the plywood surface. The reason for this is when we install the cabinets, we don't want any obstructions, and we want the cabinets to install flat to the cabinet. Therefore, your lag screw heads need to be sunk into that plywood surface. Your plywood surface will carry the entire weight of the screen. Therefore, it is crucial that those fasteners are going into your stud behind your sheetrock. For your plywood sheets, you'll wanna make sure to make multiple point of contacts to the stud behind it. Of course, when you're installing your plywood, ensure it is level and not bowing in any way. We want a flat surface that will make installation of your cabinets that much easier. When it comes to the electrical box placement, you'll have that box placement behind the plywood. Once then you have installed the plywood, you'll need to open up a small hole to have access to that junction box. More details around electrical will be in the electrical segment of this installation video. So now that we have our plywood mounted to the wall, it is time to find our center point. The center point is important because we will start installing the cabinets from that center and work our way left and right from that point. When we're looking at center, it's most important that our center along the left right axis is the point we're looking after. The center point on our vertical axis is not as important at this stage of the project. You'll wanna make sure your plywood, though, was installed in exactly the space that you would like your screen. So we're gonna go ahead and find the center point on our left to right axis, and I'm gonna utilize our laser tool to help be our guide. So the laser tool will go ahead and just rough into our center point, and then I'll use a tape measure and measure off the left side of my plywood to find that center point. So I'm off just slightly. I need to adjust our laser over. So now that we've found our center point of our screen, I'll go ahead and make a mark with a Sharpie in the center, the bottom, and the top. I'll do this just in case the laser gets bumped at some point during our installation, and I can quickly find that center point again without having to get the tape measure out. The center point is important because if your screen has an even amount of cabinets from left to right, you'll be aligning this center point with the edge of the cabinet. If you have an odd number of cabinets from left to right, the center point will be directly in the middle of a cabinet. We will install the cabinets from the center and work our way out. In the case of this plywood, I know that the bottom of this plywood is gonna be the bottom of our screen, so I'm simply going to align the bottom of the cabinet to the bottom of the plywood. At this point, before we start mounting cabinets, go ahead and paint your plywood if desired. Now that I know my center, I'm also going to adjust my height of my laser just to give me a second line of level. Even though I know my plywood is flat, in your situation, go ahead and use your level so that you can ensure that the first row of cabinets are level and centered. Getting started and ensuring the first couple of cabinets are installed level and in the right position are gonna set you up for success as you begin the installation process and completion of your screen. So now it's time to mount our cabinets to the wall. We've included the fasteners that you'll utilize to attach the cabinet to your plywood surface. You'll need a t twenty five bit and a drill to attach your fastener. So there's two cabinet sizes. There's a one thousand millimeter cabinet and a five hundred millimeter cabinet. What you will do if your screen consists of both sizes, you will want to install the one thousand millimeter cabinets first with the five hundred millimeter cabinets ending at the top of your screen. We're gonna install from the bottom up. For your cabinets, it is a good idea to have a partner hold your cabinet while then someone else drives the fastener through the cabinet and into the plywood. As you're handling the panels, there is a handle on the rear side, as well as we find it easy to grip from the holes or just the bottom. They're robust cabinets, but be mindful of the cables and boards inside so they don't get bumped too hard during your installation process. Overall, find a partner that can help you in holding while you're fastening these to the wall. If you have an even amount of cabinets from left to right, then your center point is going to be right at the edge. To install your cabinet at the edge, we're going to use our laser level. We're going to find the bottom and make it flush with the plywood, and then we're gonna look at that laser level and ensure it is touching the edge of the cabinet at the bottom as well as the top. If your screen has an odd amount of cabinets from left to right, you'll utilize the center point of the cabinet as your starting point. So in this case, we're going to find our bottom on the plywood, and then we're going to take the laser line and align it right down the middle on these points within the cabinet. One thing I want to call out is the orientation of your cabinets does matter. There's little guides within the cabinet that are in the shape of an up arrow, both molded onto the cabinet as well as on the board. The up arrow needs to face up. Okay. So now we're ready to mount our cabinet to the plywood surface. I have my drill with t twenty five bit. I have two fasteners ready to go. I'm gonna have the cabinet held by my assistant, and I'm gonna start at the top. I'm checking to ensure my up arrows are pointing up, and that we are aligned center for this particular cabinet. Because we are working with an odd amount of cabinets going left to right, I'm aligning these in the center. As you're driving the fasteners, be sure not to over tighten and cause too much stress on the cabinet with that fastener force. We just want the fastener to be snug so that the cabinet does pull tight to the plywood, but we don't want to apply extra impact force against the cabinet. So now that I've completed the two fasteners at the top, I'm gonna go ahead and work myself around the cabinet and complete the two fastener locations at the bottom. Four fasteners per cabinet is more than sufficient to attach this cabinet to your plywood surface. In some situations, you may even need to not install the fastener in a corner or potentially move your fastener down to the center point. That's specific to your screen application, and in those cases, it'll be called out in your installation manual. But as good practice, every corner of the cabinet will receive a fastener. So you can see our first cabinet is in place. We have our center line lined up with the center of the cabinet. Now from here, we're going to attach our next cabinet right to the left and begin to work our way from left to right on our first row. Once we get our first row established, we'll then continue upwards onto the wall. With the second cabinet, before installing our fasteners, we're gonna utilize the incorporated thumbscrews. So, I'll have my assistant bring in the cabinet. We'll match them up, and I'll apply the thumbscrews to the panel. I'll just get that snug and not fully tightened. So in this case. That one I gotta move. Yeah. In the case where you're finding resistance with one of the thumb screws, you may have to back out your fastener to get your panel aligned slightly. Once you were able to see the thumbscrews, you can tighten up the other panel. This portion of the process is one of the most important processes to give attention to detail. The cabinets must be completely flat on the top as well as completely flush on the surface. We do not want a reveal of any type between the cabinets. They need to be completely flush. The reason for this is when we install the modules, if we have a little bit of difference between cabinets, the module will become visible because it's not laying flat or flush between cabinets. So in this case, I do have a slight reveal, and I can feel that most by applying my finger to the surface area. So I will need to adjust this fastener out to match this up. So a tip again, be sure to use your hand and feel the seams between the cabinets. Those will need to be completely smooth once again with no reveal. Also, feel the bottom of the cabinet to ensure it is flat and as well as the top. This is the most important part when installing the cabinets is ensuring a flat surface between them. You'll then use the included Allen tool to tighten up the thumbscrews between the cabinets. As you get going, one tip is begin to tighten these down first before putting in your fasteners. We establish the fasteners first in this case as we get going, but you might have to install thumbscrews first and then fasteners or vice versa as you begin to build the wall. Feel it out and come up with a rhythm that's working well for your specific application. So in the case of our example wall here, we have our larger one thousand millimeter cabinets on the bottom, and then we'll have our five hundred cabinets at the top. There are little recessed ports at the bottom that will allow us to connect to the top portion of this cabinet, as well as our thumbscrews that we'll need to tighten once we install this at the top. I'm looking for my up arrows again. I'll go ahead and make my connection. And then I will tighten in the thumb screws. I'm going to feel that my points are flat, which they are, and at that point I will go ahead and tighten down with the Allen tool. Once I'm tight, I'll then install the fasteners to the plywood and the cabinet. For your installation, be sure to complete your entire bottom row first. Once you have your entire bottom row installed, you can then move up to your next row.
