THANK you!! I bought this Dec 2008 and rec'd no instructions of any kind. I wanted to take it apart but was afraid to damage it. It took me an hour to find this amazon discussion. Sigh. So glad you posted this or it would still be sitting on my counter!!

Pop off the end caps, then screw it to the wall and place the caps back on.

It just uses a big pan head screw. I predrilled a hole for mine. I ended up taking it off as it just didn't feel right.

I have no clue! I couldn't figure out how to mount it, so I just used double sided tape.

It requires some work. You need to take front cage off then place fan blade over the post then there is a cap that goes on but it is counter threaded so spin it op of a normal screw. If this doesn't work please email more

Just drill new holes or expand the existing ones. I had a similar problem. It takes about two minutes with a drill and proper bit. Save yourself the money. Good luck. This was a good quality product if you decide to buy it. Mine is mounted in a way I cannot measure, sorry.

Yes I had the same problem. I was able to drill a couple of holes and mount it to the back.

Same problem, but I just screw right through it and it works out fine. I recommend drilling pilot holes first to make things easier.

You cannot use your existing mounting holes. You must make new ones so you can adjust them accordingly.

The screw that is used is a Phillips head, and the plastic cap has a "stem" that is shaped to conform to the head of the screw. Try rotating the cap until it "settles" into the shape of the screw head. It might still be somewhat loose, but it's the best you can hope for.

Ok so I will be honest mounting this was a b*#ch. The screws were not long enough and it should have taken a few minutes took so much longer. I did mount it just like it was when I took the other one out. Once I got it in I have not had a problem what so ever. I hope this helps..

When I first opened the box, I recall I tried to remove those screws, too, as it seemed the intuitive thing to do. It's not. Those screws stay in the unit. After looking at the instructions and the wall hanger more closely I figured it out, but it's been so long that I don't recall exactly what I did. Sorry-that's the best I can do...

I used a very small allen wrench and used a lot of pressure. I didn't have a correct tool. I just tried my best to keep the opposite end still to tighten the screws. Ultimately one of the screws got lost, and I ended up replacing it with a small bolt and screwed a nut on and added epoxy glue.

Not sure, probably have to take a couple of screws out. I bought this as a gift for a friend and do not have it in my possession!

It's been a minute since I put mine together, but if memory severs me, you'll need a Phillips screwdriver, a hammer, and a drill to mount it. I also made a template to use when hanging mine, so that I knew it would be straight. The instructions are terrible so you'll need a bit a patience too :0)

On the back of the unit there are holes that enable mounting with screws. That's what I did with mine too. You'll need to supply your own screws. Cheers

You have a couple of choices. There is a side mount or you can make a simple hole with a drill (just enough to allow a screw to pass). And that's it! Simple. It works great and it looks good. Had it for 6 months and still love it.

You have to pry out the plastic piece in the center to reach the screws. It came with a special tool for this but a flat screwdriver might work.
