Are the holes on the mounting plate wide enough to easily hit 3 studs that are 16"?

Christopher, did you actually purchase this mount? If so, does it actually hit three studs 16" apart?

Short answer if I remember correctly - no. If I remember correctly, when I got it, the instructions say something along the lines of "must attached to at least 2 studs 16 inches apart, but has 3 sets of holes. If I remember correctly the whole backplate was not much wider than 16" so one set of the screws would have gone straight into the drywall. I wasn't about to do that, so there was a third (smaller) hole on the other sets so I just put 3 screws into 2 studs that were 16" apart. Hopefully that makes sense and answers your question. Sorry for the long answer.

Yes sir! Not only did it go through the plaster, but I had a layer of ship lap on top and it managed to get through enough to find the 16" centers.It works by finding the nails that hold the plaster onto the studs used in the framing.So you can move in a circular fashion until you find the first nail, put a light mark there or just leave a magnet and the next stud shouldbe over 16" to the right or left.

There is a lot of tolerance for varied stud spacing. I doubt that there will be any problem inserting the screws through the mount into the studs if you mark out the stud edge locations first. I too am very pleased with this wall mount.

I didn't get the slotted tool holder, but after going out to look at the wall control board, I would say no. Another note that may concern you is with a horizontal mount, it would not line up with the 16 inch centered studs as it does when mounted vertically and you would have to use wall anchors. This may not be a problem for you, but I like going directly into a stud for support. These are definitely nice units, even if they are pricey. Besides being functional, they look great and have had many compliments on them.

Because of the length and the hole placement you cannot mount them on studs at both ends if they are 16 inch on center studs. The Holey rail comes in 2 4 foot sections, and has more width top to bottom, which means more peg holes.

I can't answer that as it is installed at a location I'm not currently at. I do know it is less than 16" because it would not span existing stud spacing.

Yes, the mount can be positioned up to about 2 inches left or right of being centered on the studs.

Eric , Im not sure if it will work or not. You could always drill a hole in the mounting plate so that it will be mounted on two studs.

there is some leeway but mine was able to be installed in 3 different studs. I went with smaller diameter grade 8 screws because the ones provided cracked a stud.

There are one and three-fourths inches from the center of one mounting screw to the center of the other mounting screw. Hope your studs are real close together!

Yes. You shouldn't have a problem. The only issue is that you may have to drill a couple of holes in the steel wrapping of the split studs since you'll likely cut the penetrations where you mount them to the header. Really not a big deal.

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

It depends on which way you are planning to hang the plate. If you are planning to hang the plate along 16", then this will work. And yes, it comes with the hardware as I remember.

Yes. You will need a couple bolts to mount depending upon your application.

I first mounted a 16 inch wide piece of decorative hardwood and secure that into the studs. Then I used the screws that came with the mount to attach it to the hardwood.

Yes. There are mounting holes in the back that will easily accommodate bolts

Apropos of my previous answer....the screws are indeed 16" apart. However, husband still thinks he didn't use two studs to hang it. Frankly, I think the old buzzard is losing his mind.
