Installing Your Wall Mounted Bottle Opener
Choose Location: Pick a spot near your bar or fridge at comfortable height (around chest level). Use a stud finder or use anchors for drywall.
Mark & Drill: Hold the opener against the wall or backplate. Level it, mark screw holes with a pencil, then drill pilot holes or install anchors.
Secure Opener: Align the opener’s holes, drive screws in until snug—do not overtighten.
Attach Catch Tray: Mount or hang the tray directly beneath to collect caps. Test by opening a bottle to ensure stability.
Customization & Maintenance Tips
Custom Backplates: Paint or stencil a wooden board for a personalized backdrop—team logos, monograms, or vintage signs.
Material Mix: Combine a brass opener with a dark walnut plank for a high-end look.
