Twelve Inch FAQ | What to know about mounting records and albums on the wall

Here is what you need to know, and answers to your questions, when using Twelve Inch wall mounting records and albums.

 

First - it is very easy to install

  1. Mark the place on the wall where you want the album to hang
  2. Drill a whole in the wall and use a raw plug of adequate size (normally a 6mm drill with a 4-5 mm raw plug)
    This is a raw plug:


  3. Place the small bamboo disc on the wall, over the hole, and use the screw that came with our product, to fix onto the wall. 
  4. Insert the big thin disc inside the album cover, behind the vinyl and with the black metal ring facing the wall.
  5. Now you can hold the album up to the small disc, and feel the magnets pull the album to the wall. Carefully let go of your album and enjoy the moment.

Some important notes:

The wall mount can hold a double album of standard weight, but we see that recent pressings use heavier vinyl records, so be sure to test that the mount can manage this. Alternatively, remove the vinyl records from the album before placing the double album on the wall.

Some double album has a tendency to open up when on the wall. We think the best solution is to use a small plastic clip - like the one you get when you buy a new shirt - to hold the album closed.
