The following is a step by step description showing how a simple rectangular shaped sign using the OnTrax System is installed to a painted drywall wall surface.  Because the OnTrax System can be installed using many combinations, at many angles, using dissimilar sizes, etc.,  your installation may vary.  (Note:  Click on all photos to view enlarged photo.  Click "Back" to return to this page.)

Step One:   Placement Of Template Onto Wall.  Once you have determined where sign will be located on the wall, the installation template is placed on the wall in the correct location. 

Step Two:  Mark The Holes For The Track Installation.  Lightly mark location where holes are located for track installation.  Be very careful not to damage wall surface.

Step Three:  Remove Installation Template:  Once holes are marked, installation template is removed from wall surface.

Step Four:  Fastening Bottom Caps To the Track.  The bottom caps are fixed into position with tamper resistant screws to the track prior to fastening the track to the wall.  This task may be performed in the shop, and not on site.

Step Five:   Secure Right Track With Bottom Cap Already Attached, To The Wall Surface.  Here we are using small head drywall screws to fasten the track to the painted drywall surface.  Depending on construction of the wall & the weight of the finished sign, different hardware, anchors, and/or reinforcement of wall may be necessary.

Step Six:   Finish Fastening Right Track With Bottom Cap Already Attached To The Wall.  Quantity of fasteners used will depend on individual application.  Keep in mind the finished sign size and weight, along with your wall construction.

Step Seven:   Left Track With Bottom Cap Already Attached Fastened To Wall.  Simply fasten hardware where holes were located locations were marked (see Step Two above).

Step Eight:  Sliding On Cover Bar (Left).  Left bar slides over track concealing fasteners.  Bar will stop at bottom cap.  

Step Nine:  Sliding On Cover Bar (Right).  Right bar slides over track concealing fasteners.  Bar will stop at bottom cap.  

Step Ten:  Sliding Sign Insert Into Place.  Insert will now slide into the channel located in cover bar.  The caps fastened to the bottom of the track stop the sign insert, holding the sign insert in place.  

Step Eleven:  Finish Caps Secured In Place.  The top caps are fixed into position with tamper resistant screws, thus completing installation of the sign.
