After marking the holes, use a stud finder over the marked areas to check for wall studs. If a stud is detected, you will drill pilot holes directly into it. Select a drill bit that is big enough to accommodate the main shaft of the wood screw but small enough so that it does not cover any part of the screw's threads. Drill a pilot hole at each marked point, ensuring the drill bit goes in straight, serving as a guide for the wood screws.
