The mounting screws - if I put two directly into wall studs and two into the dry wall (with the plastic pieces), is that strong enough to hold?

It is pretty hard to catch a stud with all 4 screws. I would think that 2 screws into studs is pretty good and secure.

My Quake Hold Picture Hook package (model 4338) states the following: Use 1 hook for hanging up to 50 lbs. And, Use 2 hooks for hanging up to 100 lbs. A package contains 4 hooks, 4 nails and 4 2-1/2" screws.... nails for lightweight items and screws for heavyweight items....presumably into studs. I am NOT an engineer but would assume that if you're anchoring into a stud (2'x4') - not just drywall - using 3 hooks with screws may hold your 130 lb mirror. Good luck.

If you use the plastic anchors insert that Comes with it, then you can mount on dry wall as well

Yes. Has 4 screw holes meant for 4 drywall anchors. I only needed 2 wood screw into studs and it holds real well.

I purchased these for a 1-1/2" solid wood shelf that is 36" long and 10" deep. They are pretty strong brackets and look very nice. We haven't had any issues with them and they could probably hold a shelf up to 48" long if you really needed to. I would just make sure they are installed into a stud versus using the wall anchors in just the drywall. Hope that helps.

We mounted ours with plastic anchors and screws. Our assumption was that the tape would damage the drywall.

These are great hangers. We bought eight of them and they are mounted in two by sixes underneath the dry wall. You could used these but would need Molly's if hanging heavy things. Carol

I can't remember exactly how long the screws were (maybe two inches). But i would guess that as long as you have screws that go one inch into the stud, then you are fine. Remember, the weight creates downward pressure, so its not going to pull straight out from the wall. Use a couple more if you are really worried.

I mounted it with 3M Command Hooks and they work fine. It holds the weight very well and I never had to screw a hole in the cabinets.

If the weight was spread out over 3 shelves, yes. One shelf holding 25-30 lbs will cause that shelf to flex too much unless you put braces in between the shelves. The mount itself would hold if you attach it to the stud instead of using drywall anchors.

Hi Katherine. I don't know for sure whether hanging a shelf with this type of support would work very well. The reason I say this is because the shelf, especially with items placed on it, would probably tend to pill the studs out of the wall. I think the bracket would be sufficient to hold the weight in regard to a straight downward load, but the problem with the load of the shelf and its contents is that it is cantilevered from the bracket and therefore produces an additional outward load, not just a downward load. I am not a design engineer, so I'm just guessing about it, but I am pretty confident about it. Hi Katherine.

Yes, I anchored it to the drywall. I was concerned that it would flex. It seems plenty strong from a weight on the shelf stand point.

This can be installed in dry wall no studs required. I can confirm, it will hold the weight it is advertised for.

Yes it can...there are several wall mount options that are strong enough to hold the weight...Obviously the wall mount will need to be connected to framing members (studs) behind the drywall! If this is not possible due to layout...you may have to reinforce the mounting points...(cut drywall and add framing)...or add a 3/4 or thicker plywood panel behind it, attached to framing this could provide the strength you need!I could sen you a picture of ours!Jim

Yes. It's not very heavy and it comes with mounting screws. I would suggest using the plastic wall anchors to make sure whatever weight you put on it will hold 100% safely and securely.

Yes, I would say it may be strong enough but I would still mount it to the shelf from underneath or on each side. It is sturdy though and I love the cabinets. Remember, these are all made from particle board with a formica type coating.....but they are good quality.

I would not rely on the anchors in dry wall. Make sure you have a stud somewhere behind where you will install it. The plate is large enough that you should find at least 1 stud. Out of the 4 bolts, make sure 2 hit a stud.
