Do the screws need to be mounted into studs? Or can I use drywall anchors?

You could mount to drywall, but I would use toggle bolts instead of anchors. If you will be hanging something fairly heavy, like a ladder, and putting it up and down fairly often, then you should definitely screw into studs. I have three mounted to studs and they work fine.

Both can be used; however it depends on how much weight you intend to hang from the holder. Watch the rating of the anchors. If the weight is more than the anchors, go to stronger toggle bolts. Just keep in mind the drywall has a pull-out weight limit as well. Anchored into studs is best.

I anchored mine to a concrete wall. The package comes with screws and instructions for mounting directly to a wall stud.

We screwed ours into the wall. I think you are supposed to screw it into the wall. We put wall anchors in for even better hold when a stud was not an option. They worked wonderfully for us!!

No, screw in hooks. It needs to be mounted to a solid structure like a ceiling beam. You will need to locate them with something like a stud finder.

For safety, drilling into a stud is preferred. If not possible, I would suggest using a drywall anchoring device.

These come with 3 screws and have a variety of holes in the back plane for mounting. I added plastic anchors to mount the unit with 2 screws on drywall.

yes but you must use the correct length of screws and anchors, e.g., toggles. You can't screw directly into drywall.

Short answer is you will be fine. It takes two screws to mount and does come with the necessary hardware to mount onto drywall. Mounting into the stud is the best option in which case a normal wood screw can be used and would only leave a smaller hole than the anchors. These are very inexpensive guitar hangers and I wouldn't trust it to hold an instrument of any value.

Yes and yes. It comes with anchors for drywall. Mine is mounted in my office which is constructed of drywall and metal studs. Mine is only mounted in the drywall. Has been there and used for 8 months with no problem

I absolutely would only screw it into the wood studs with the screws. Mine is rock solid AND I too am a perfectionist. If it's not in a stud, you MUST use the anchors, but I can't vouch for it's sturdiness.

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 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.

Mounted into the drywall with the hardware included. Anchors work perfectly well!

you must use anchors designed for plaster - like tapcon or others. product comes with Self Drilling Drywall Anchors and Screws

You can install in drywall if you use better anchors than provided. get molly bolts or better toggle bolts. You can support 50lbs+ using good toggle bolts - you can get them from your local hardware store.

No, these do not come with mounting hardware. The mounting holes are about 1/4" diameter. If you're mounting to drywall, buy appropriately sized drywall anchors. If you're mounting directly to wood, buy appropriately sized wood screws. You'll need short (~1/2" max, depending on the thickness of your shelf) wood screws to fasten the shelf to the brackets.

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.

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