what screw sizes are recommended to hold this up?

It depends upon what kind of surface you plan to attach it. Brick would obviously take different screws than wood. As far as I could tell, NO instructions about what size or type of screws should be used were and none came with it. I ended up not using it because I had to get such a long hose in the end and it was 3/4" wide instead of the usual (these days) 5/8" wide hose. I knew that plastic would not hold up a long heavy hose. I do plan to use it for hanging other things. But I do think the manufacturer might have been more helpful in the screw department. Take it to a hardware store, tell them what you want to attach it to, and they can help. It depends upon what kind of surface you plan to attach it.

No recommendations in package I guessed anything that fits in the holes and goes deep enough into the material behind it. I think I chose 2 1/2 inch hoping I would hit a stud under the clapboard and plywood.

I took it to my local hardware store and bought three stainless steel 2-inch wood screws that fit through the holes in the Gecko. They worked perfectly.

2+ inch screws will work, I used 1.5" siding screws and it's held up wonderfully. Even holding a 100 ft heavy duty hose. Those who say the plastic will not hold up a 100 ft heavy duty hose are incorrect as mine has been doing so for 6 months.

Try contacting the manufacturer and see if they will send you another. If they will not or can not, they might be able to give you the size of the screw and you can get from a local hardware store.

Those screws will work if you item uses any sort of quick connect swivel mount. As for size, you use the longest of the two you stock will allow. You simply dirll a pilot hole the right size of the screw screw it in and your ready to go. You also may want to use a small amount of glue to keep the screw more secure.

I bought 2 of these, one I drilled in screws and mounted that way, the other I used a wide strip of Velcro, not sure what your needing to hang to but you can always reinforce with some gorilla tape for a good secure hold. Hope this helps and I am sure there are many more ways, but this is how I put mine up.

Use loctite, OR there's this kewl new invention called the internet where you can find just about anything including replacement pivot screws in whatever size you need. ;)

I had to buy longer screws found them at lowes home improvements. They are metric screws m4 7 they come in many sizes a 2 inch screw would be 4o mm

I just use a standard 5/8" pin. It may rattle some, but strength or safety are not compromised.

All that is needed is a screw that is longer enough head. I believe I use 1 1/2 inch number 2 screws to mount mine.

Sells Homes has the right idea. The screws are just about 3/4" long, and even with a desktop that is just over 3/4" thick, I had opted to run a thin washer, just to be safe (taking into consideration the thickness of the brackets). Running a shorter screw would compromise the holding strength, as the tray is fairly heavy, so you may have to engineer a solution as suggested earlier.

The kit came with an assortment of metric screws that should work for most if not all TV's. I used lag bolts to mount the bracket to the 2x4 studs. It's holding up an 80" TV.

The bracket requires drilling holes to mount. Otherwise what's going to hold it up?

Depends on your weight load and what you're fastening to. I used four 3/4" #8 wood screws with a #8 washer when going into 3/4" plywood for a lumber cart, pushing about 200 pounds. Wouldn't use anything smaller. Would recommend a #10 3/4" if you have it.

We had to use Molly bolts to secure it to wall but the length of screws worked fine. You can always go to your local hardware store and purchase longer screws/same diameter for $ little cost. Then it should work. Ours has held fast with no problems and we move it for use several times a day!

I ended up going to Lowe's and bought the FastTrack hardware pack so I don't really know offhand what the screw size is.

It should work fine, except for very small screws. You may need a set of hex load phillips and standard tools though.

Screw size is not too important, but be sure to put a screw in all four holes. A number 12 screw, about one inch long should work great. Be sure to drill a pilot hole for the screw. The pilot hole should be the size of the screw body, not counting the threads. Otherwise, the wood may split if you run the screws in without drilling a pilot hole. The pilot hole should be about 1/8 inch or maybe slightly larger. If screw gets real tight before it bottoms out, you may want to enlarge the hole slightly. A little trial and error will work fine.

It depends on what you are mounting it to. I mounted it to a dense plastic material, and used 3 inch wood screws.
