2. Next, measure the width of your “diameter” measurement. This will be your “width” measurement.
3. Now, divide your “width” measurement by your “diameter” measurement. This will be your “slots per inch” measurement.
4. Next, take your hook and fit it into one of your “slots per inch” measurements. Make sure that the hook is flush with the top of the keyhole slot cover and that it is level across its entire length.

5. Then, use a screwdriver to tighten the hook into place by turning it until it is snug but not too tight. Be sure to use a level in order to ensure that your hanging fixture is level.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each of your “slots per inch” measurements.

Next, screw in your eye screw until it’s tight but not too tight – be sure to use a level in order to ensure that your hanging fixture is level). Finally, place your keyhole slot cover over top of the marked hook and screw it in place using a screwdriver – again, make sure to use a level in order to ensure that everything is perfectly positioned).
