Will this item work with 3 inch studs (non weight bearing walls) or will this only work with 4 inch studded walls?

It works with 3-1/2 inch studded walls. A 2 X 4 is actually 1-1/2 inches by 3-1/2 inches. If you have studs ripped down to 3 inches, it may not work.

These do not require a stud at all. Using the supplied template a hole is cut between studs that the box self attaches.

I think it should work fine from what I recall it is not over 3 inches deep. I am assuming you are referring to depth.

i had a similar situation. i found the largest drywall anchor i could find and used it on the non stud side. fortunately my tv is relatively light. if it were heavier, i would have made a custom mount for the wall bracket out of either scrap metal or thin lumber. so then you could span the 24" stud with the custom mount & attack the bracket assembly to it. it would take some work to make it look nice, so you might try the oversized drywall anchor first lolbtw I've had my 32" mounted with the drywall anchor for over a year now.

You have to secure the brackets to the frame, it would depend on whether the frame is wide enough to attach the bracket. My frames were 3/4" wide and it worked fine.

I can't remember exactly how long the screws were (maybe two inches). But i would guess that as long as you have screws that go one inch into the stud, then you are fine. Remember, the weight creates downward pressure, so its not going to pull straight out from the wall. Use a couple more if you are really worried.

It would depend on the size, of course. 3 lbs. is a lot, but if you use enough of the mounting squares it may work. Unless you have delicate walls, I would give it a try.

you need one long enough to hit the studs,,the one I bought reaches the stud which are 36 inches apart to center it on the wall.It's possible that you may only go 24 inches on a smaller wall.

It may not work with only 3. Seems to me only sturdy with 4. Also it has bolt holes (like a hinge) that attach them. the bolt hole would be unsightly.

The box says it's good to 70 inches. Should be OK. The reason I got this one was because it was wide enough to be sure I could mount it to two wall studs. Most were only 28 or 30 inches. I used lag bolts to mount to the wall and might suggest it for anything that big

I do not believe it can, it isn't wide enough for 24" studs. I installed mine with six wall anchors and did not screw into a stud at all.

So considering that a 4x8 sheet of 3/4" plywood is roughly 86 pounds plus trim you will have a lot of weight to support if totally mounted on a wall. The mounts are pretty strong but I would use 4 with good screws that securely fasten to 2x4 wood studs not metal studs.

MT is right; you need to mark the studs first. I would not use sheetrock mounting options for this, as you want it to be able to support the weight. Use a stud finder to mark the studs. they are generally 24" apart.

will work but you have to put a 2x4 on wall to sit rock on then tilt it into wall. it will save you time, effort, and backpain. For the price of the tool it is well worth it.

If you have a stud you need to use 4 which is what I did and it works fine on my 42 inch, 55 lbs tv.

This will depend on what size wall anchors or screws you will be using. The kit does not come with anchors , therefore be sure to purchase the proper size for the weight being supported.

In my opinion, your not going to damage the stud. Studs are I think 18"s apart to spread the weight out on a wall. In a worse scenario, If you had to remove the wall board to get to the stud you could always splice another stud to the damaged one by screws or bolts to strengthen the stud. I hope this answer helps.

As long as you mount it to something secure, it works great. They just don't want someone to be able to smash the unit off the wall, so brick, concrete block, metal studs are all great. Wood, siding - not so good. The unit will probably survive but your wall wouldn't.

Yes it'll work perfectly!!! I've had mine for 3 months now & it's mounted on the wall nice & sturdy!! Hope this helps :-)
