What distance separates the mounting screws? (I.e., how far apart do the studs need to be?)

You need to find the wall studs before mounting.They should be 16" or24 on center.

The distance is 21" Both holes were at the top two corners, plus there was an additional one in the lower center. We hit one stud, and used wall anchors for the other.

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.

Not sure about the distance between studs but, I've had this since October and use it everyday - extremely sturdy.

2 upper holes spread 21 inches apart and 1 lower in center. You can disregard them and make your own holes to fit.

The distance between the two mounting screws was 6 7/16" on center, but the viewer hole is not in the exact center of that. So, once you get the item, you need to measure center-to-center, on the back of the door knocker, from the viewer hole to each screw hole to get the exact measurements that you need. Good luck.

Mine is 10". I'm fairly confident that you can set the mounting screws at any distance.

They are 16" apart...I was still concerned about a lag bolt not hitting the stud correctly so I attached 2x8 s to the studs and then attached the wall mount to the 2x8s. Gave me more peace of mind...no problems here.

It depends on the width of the handlebars. I actually mounted a piece of wood on the wall to span the distance of a few studs, as to not have the positioning of the studs dictate the spacing of the brackets. The you can mount the brackets whichever distance you want from each other, and not sacrifice support.

u can change the distance between them. my studs weren't perfectly spaced where i mounted it.

Approx 8 3/4" between mounting screws. the unit itself is 13 5/8" X 1 3/4".

I used drywall screws (instead of the screws that come with it), and it seems pretty secure in the drywall.The mounting holes are about 28" apart, so you will not be able to get both sides in a stud. It's not that heavy though, so it shouldn't be a problem.

yes, studs must be 16" to mount per the instructions provided. Hope this helps!

If the studs are too far apart, you could always lay down a base board that matches up to the studs, then mount the bar on top of that. I did this with my bar and it works like a charm. As for your question, The bar is not adjustable width-wise so your studs may not match up.

The outside holes of the mounting bracket are 32" apart for mounting to wall studs. The brackets are mounted to a wood inner support. They could be removed and located in your choice of position.

The unit is made to mount on studs that are 24 inches on center which means that the mounting holes are probably 22 inches apart. You can move one of your anchors to make the fit and the rack housing should cover the hole that was vacated. This unit is worth the trouble.

I would say an inch if your determined to leave the stud in place. I recommend moving the stud over if there is a problem. It won't hurt your structure one bit.

The hold down bolts are 4" apart. It would be easy to redrill the mount and move them to a different distance if needed.

My installation requires about 24" spacing between the brackets. I think you could easily place the brackets closer than my installation required. The mounting holes in the brackets are slotted which would give you a little ,maybe 1/4", on each bracket bar. Hope this helps.

Studs are normally spaced 16" apart on center.The unit fits in between very tight.There's approx. 1" of lip or flange area around the opening.Nice unit.
