How to hang a dartboard on a door

Have your surface ready to take the dart board bracket. 

In my case, I fix my dartboard bracket to my backing board (home made from an old pallet) and fixing kit that comes with the dartboard.

Measure 1.73m (5 foot 8 inches) from the ground to the location where the centre of your bullseye will be. 

Fix your hanging bracket onto your wall/door/backing board.

Fit the dartboard hanging kit to the back of your board. Including spacers to ensure a snug fit on the board.

Slide the Dart Board into place with the locating screw fitting into the hanging bracket.

Make sure the 20 is vertical.

Play darts!

Why 1.73m?

1.73 / 5’8’’ is the eye level of someone who is 6’ tall
