How to Fit Drill-Through Desktop Clamps
Before You Begin
This method requires drilling through your desktop, so it’s best for a permanent, secure fix.
Ensure you have a drill and appropriate drill bit, plus a 17 mm spanner/wrench.
Choose the exact position on the desk where you want the screen to sit.
Installation Steps
1.Lay the desk screen flat on the desktop with the bottom edge facing down.
2. Use the supplied pins to mark drill holes by inserting the small pins into the pre-drilled holes at the bottom of the screen. Gently press the screen in place on the desk so the pins leave marks on the desk surface.
3. At each marked point, drill straight down into the desktop, keeping the drill level to ensure the screen sits flush once installed.
4. From below the desk, push the screws/clamp bolts up through the drilled holes. Place washers on top before tightening the clamp bolts until flush with the desk surface.
5. Tighten securely using a 17 mm spanner to tighten each clamp fully, ensuring stability.
6. Remove the pins from the bottom of the screen once all clamps are set. Lower the screen into place so the pre-drilled holes on the panel align with the clamps and press down gently until the screen fits snugly and flush with the desktop.
Tips & Best Practices
Mark and measure twice to avoid drilling in the wrong spot.
Keep drill vertical to ensure correct alignment of the screen.
Clean any wood debris from drill holes before mounting the screen.
If you want flexibility later, consider upgrading to easy-fix clamps instead of drill-through ones.
