How to Hang a Chandelier in a Two-Story Foyer · Step 5 of 9
In this video
Mount the new mounting bar (also known as a crossbar or strap) to the ceiling electrical box. This bar will provide a secure point from which to hang the chandelier. If your chandelier weighs over 50 pounds, you must use a joist safety brace, which is a heavier-duty mounting system that attaches directly to the ceiling joists to support the additional weight. Once the mounting bar is secure, position the chandelier canopy against the ceiling, feed the central screw through its center hole, and screw the decorative nut to hold the canopy temporarily in place.
