Step 2 · Locate and Mark Studs

Move the stud finder horizontally along your marked lines at each shelf location. When the device indicates a stud, mark the center of the stud clearly. Repeat this process for all intended mounting points. It's crucial to anchor the shelving directly into studs for stability and safety, especially for heavier loads.
