I can’t drill into my ceiling or there’s no drillable surfaces. How do I mount the Pendant Mount?

In configurations where the Pendant Mount can’t be placed into the ceiling, it’s recommended to get help from a professional A/V installer. For an anchor point of the Pendant Mount, use the metal plate that is included in the box. When assembling the Pendant Mount, use all the parts but the ceiling lock nut and cable holder. From there, either weave through or attach steel wire to the metal plate to an anchor point on the ceiling.
