Are the screws log enough to get into the wood frame behind the sheetrock?

I'm not sure but, they were long enough for the frame that we needed to secure the gate to. Sorry if this didn't help much. Good Luck - it's a GREAT Gate and so good looking too!!

Yes. And ours did not come with very decent instructions and we had to put small L brackets to keep the logs from rolling once we put it all together. We love it but it was tough putting it together.

Yes. I drilled and countersunk all of my screw holes. Material cuts beautifully with a circular saw. I am very happy with the product.

You will need to find the joists and screw hooks into them. The sheetrock will not hold more than a couple of pounds. My grandkids use theirs in the bedroom and spend quite a bit of time with it.

No. Not what it is designed to accomplish. Drilling into the sides, or placing a clamp around it for holding the wood might work, but again, not within the design parameters.

No. You wont need it! Beware to put a piece of solid wood below, because it is heavy. Enjoy!

Yes, but not recommended. The plywood, if veneer type has a tendency to splinter.

It should so long as the frame is thick enough so the self tapping screws can grab ahold.

No problem, just be sure that your fasteners are attach to studs or thick wood... Enjoy

Considering the weight of the unit I would say that at least 2 of the mounting screws should be screwed into a stud. Since our home is 250 years old I ran all 4 screws in to the 1" thick chestnut planks under the plaster.

We set wood boards on either side of the hole that was prescored and gently hammered out the holes. Gently being key and the side supports... At your own risk of course! Ours was no problem though!

I didn't have any problems at all. I loosely attached all the screws before tightening any thing down. I could see how there could be issues if someone tightened down one side in which case they wouldn't have any slack to line things up. Also I'm sure you could probably strip the wood if you over-tightened the screws.

With wood screws, maybe, but there's not a lot of wood to work with there. I wouldn't be comfortable with it.

This product has 2 gang boxes, and they are designed to install in existing walls with 4" cavities. You can install before hanging the sheetrock, but you don't have to. If you have lathe & plaster, then the thickness will be greater, but tabs will extend out enough to grab and hold. Just cut the opening and fit (make sure that there is enough depth for unit to fit, otherwise, you will need to cut as much off the back of the box to accommodate it). This is a great product, and it worked very well for me. I am sure you too will like the end result.

I cut a hole in the sheetrock to fit it in so that it is flush to the wall. There are no holes on the back but it's very easy to just put a screw through it

Yes but the screws must be set into a stud. And it will likely crush the drywall to get a secure fitting. I suggest a 3/4 plywood backer to save the drywall.

Yes. I first bolted a 3/4"x12"x32" oak board over the sheet rock and into the studs. Then I bolted the tv mount to the oak board. I would say as long as you are bolting it into the studs you are going to be okay. Do not even try to just use sheet rock anchors. Go and buy 3" hex head wood bolts. They are a couple of dollars for a bag of six. You first have to mount a portion of the bracket onto the TV. Then while it is still off the wall figure out where it will sit best.
