Do I have to attach to a stud? Or is the drywall ok? My pics are already in place. Thanks!

You can mount a Quakehold like any other picture hooks. Here in California on average, a stud is placed every 16" so a stud won't likely be where you want to hang a picture. Instead of a nail, you can use the large screws that come with these hooks or use a Mollie Bolt.

When possible always use a stud....When using drywall as a base, for hanging, it all depends on the weight of what you are hanging.

You don't have to attach this to a stud -- it prevents a picture from "jumping" off the hanger in an earthquake.

The company states that drywall installation is for 12 lbs or less, anything above that to a max of 50 lbs must be installed using the supplied lag screw into a stud. Hope this helps.

It really depends on the weight of the picture and the product has the guide lines included. Most of our pictures were quite light so we just removed the old hanger and used the same hole for the nail that came with the hangers. They also come with heavy duty screws that could be used with studs for heavy pictures.

It comes with drywall anchors but I would try and find a stud to mount it to due to the weight of the shelf. And the anchors don't seem the great

I mounted mine to drywall using a 100lb wall anchor. Bit of overkill but never have to worry about something going wrong. A stud would work perfect as well. The rubber feet work great to make a nice secure and sturdy base against the wall.

i imagine you could do that. i did it with my other tv mount so i could make sure it was secured in the center of the stud. then i just drywalled close to it then put a cover on it.

Yes. mounting on two metal studs will be fine. Three studs are preferable. Use toggle or snap toggle bolts rated to hold the appropriate amount of weight. Most 3/16" snap toggle bolts will hold over 200 lbs. 1/4" bolts are recommended. Use a third set of bolts in the drywall where there is no stud for added support. See this video for snap toggle bolts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC1ZuxuZ2PU

This coming from an engineer. "Don't even think about mounting it on drywall." Mount it to a stud. If the studs are not where you like then mount a plywood plate between two studs and hang your Habitat on the plate.

Not exactly clear on what your asking?? Are you mounting to a wall with studs behind the drywall?

With ease. Mine is screwed in with anchor bolts into the drywall, no studs.

I have mine mounted to a finished ceiling. When installing you will just need a stud finder to make sure you line up the bracket with a ceiling joist.

A stud is your best bet. But it may depend on what your wall is made of. Our drywall couldn't hold this, with anchors.

This has to attached to a stud- it's too heavy for drywall and anchors. I hope this helps.

It should be mountable using a toggler into the metal stud. Did you end up installing it? I used 3 snap toggles into drywall, and 3 self-tapping sheet metal screws into the metal studs, so far it has held up. Good luck!

The stud finder will find the drywall screws (and therefore the stud) in your wall. You're still ultimately mounting to a stud, so you should be fine.

I mounted mine in my garage without any problems. I noticed the width of the bracket also, so I just put a slight angle on my screws as mounted the bracket. Both screws hit the "meat" of the stud. I also used a magnetic stud finder to find my stud, drew a small line at the center of the stud, then centered the bracket on that line and screwed it in.

Not at all. The kit had everything I needed to install. As long as you have easy access to two studs, you should be fine. Very happy with product. Good Luck!

you may need a drill to screw into studs or some dry wall things. as far as assembly goes normal stuff , did not need any glue, nails etc. Mine is free standing on file cabinets in my office.

I did not have that issue. You may need to use anchors or fasten it to a stud.
