The bars are not in my home, they were for my Dad. I put them up by myself, I believe the screw size is listed in the description on the webpage. I could guess and say 2 inches, I definitely needed a power drill. It is advised to place them only in studded walls or doorways. Sorry, I can't help much on this one. I placed one on the outside of my Fathers entry door, and the other inside the door frame at the top of the steps. They are very secure and sturdy. I'm an occupational therapist and recommend safety equipment to patients, this is one I wouldn't hesitate to use. Obviously, if I put them on for my Dad!

simply drill matching holes in the correct size needed. most hardware stores should have short pieces of flat stock ,in many sizes. re use the same screws.

I have it in drywall with a 42in tv. better to find a stud for at least one of the screws. But if you can't, I've switched these type of anchors http://www.homedepot.com/p/t/100391938?langId=-1&storeId;=10051&catalogId;=10053&N;=5yc1vZ1xhv&R;=100391938.

About 1 1/2 ". I suppose you could use shorter screws in wood. We mounted them into the drywall using the plastic mollies and 1.5 " screws.

Yes you would need the proper anchors which are easily found at hardware stores

The length of screw needed depends on how you intend to anchor the rail. I used two and a half inch long pan head screws because I was aligning the holes with the wall stud. Ahalf inch for the drywall thickness and 3/8 inch for the rail height leaving at least an inch and a half of screw thread secured into the stud. If you are anchoring the rail to drywall only -- you need to decide on several different drywall anchor choices available to you. I suggest you take note of the hole diameter in the rail and visit your local Lowe's hardware sales person to show you your options.

What C. Spain said. Large enough for decent sized wall board screws to pass through (anchors provided)

That's exactly what I need to know - what is the distance between the screws? I won't buy it unless it's what I need.

I do not have one in hand to measure but I'd say just a bit over 1" diameter disk and the height (or thickness) of the anchor is about 1/4".

If you use expandable anchors, they will work fine. These have a coarse thread - probably the hardest thing will be to drill the holes.

The holes are right about 1/4" in diameter. I used torq headed (star) deck screws, screwed into a stud and they are very sturdy. Hope this helps.

You would use 2 1/2 inch screws. Here is a handy chart for future reference. http://www.kregtool.com/files/newsletters/kregplus/Images/february12/selecting-the-correct-screw.pdf

I couldn't say what screw size as they may differ from brand to brand. I assume they're metric but can't say for sure. When I had this issue, I took one of the screws that held the stand for my tv and tried it in the TV mounting holes (for wall mount). They fit..so I took that screw to the store to find more the same size.

I don't remember the exact size, but take the screw to a Lowe's or Home Depot and look for T-Nuts - I'm almost positive that is what is being used. They should be in the nuts/bolts/screws aisle in one of the drawer chests opposite the bins of loose bolts, or you MIGHT find them on the wall above the bins.

I did not use the anchors but according to the instructions an 8mm bit is needed. If wood stud wall mounting the anchors are not needed and a 3mm bit is used to pre-drill.

It's been almost a year since I mounted them but I believe they were around 1 1/4". I was able to put one hanger into a stud, the other one I had to use anchors. Where the screws go is an open "U" so you could use other brass screws if you wanted to.

I AM unsure because I have not had to do so yet. Why not take it to your local hardware store (lowes, home depot, menards..etc) and see if they can tell you what screws you would need.
