Step-by-step written guide

Measure the work area and gather all parts before starting so the project can be completed in one session.
Locate studs, utilities, anchors, or structural support points before drilling, cutting, or fastening.
Dry-fit the hardware or replacement piece and make small adjustments before final tightening.
Secure the part, test it under normal use, and correct wobble, rubbing, or misalignment immediately.
Clean the area, save spare parts, and document what changed for future maintenance.
