Does anyone know the distance between the wall mounts? Studs in my wall are 16 inches apart, and I want to know if this would fit.

15 3/4 inch center to center. FYI I love this organizer, don't know what I did without it!!

As answered before, they are 16" centers. However, since you have 24" center wall studs, I would just find a nice piece of wood and mount it to the studs as a ledger board and mount the rack to that. It will be super strong without straining any drywall. Could finish nicely or just make it narrow and almost totally hide it

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.

It is designed to fit between the studs in the wall so has to be real close. Studs are 16" on center normally which would be 14 1/2"" width. Mine fit no problem cutting the Sheetrock to the edge of the studs. Plus it overlaps the Sheetrock

The brackets slide to any width within the main mount (~43"). However, if your studs are 40" apart, you will only be able to use two of the three sliding brackets to mount to the wall. With a large TV, I don't think I'd feel comfortable with only two of the three brackets anchored to the wall. I don't think this is the mount you want for a non-standard application. If the wall is opened, perhaps an additional stud could be added.

The unit is 16'' and the mount is 14. The holes for mounting is less than 14'' so you should be good.

I have a 60 inch f 8500 Samsung plasma. I just made sure to use some larger/longer screws and I also made sure to screw into the studs. They should be on 16" centers though if cheaply done may be on 24" centers. Use a stud finder to locate the studs and drill a pilot hole to make sure you are in the right place. If you put 2 1/2 or 3" screws into the studs weight will not be an issue.

Chelsea,This will definitely fit into a 16 on center wall. I was able to install this in my garage in between two 2x4's which were 16 " apart (on center).Hope it helps.Mychal

The last screw holes are 16 and a half inches apart. It fits between the normal studs. It is a very nice mount we really like it.

DO NOT HANG THIS ON JUST DRYWALL! The bracket has holes spaced to allow you to get lag bolts into the studs behind the drywall. I know it will work on 16 and 24 inch on center. If you mount it in just drywall it will rip out.

The unit is made to mount on studs that are 24 inches on center which means that the mounting holes are probably 22 inches apart. You can move one of your anchors to make the fit and the rack housing should cover the hole that was vacated. This unit is worth the trouble.

The unit fits between studs in a wall that are on 16" centers. The unit can be mounted as high or low between these studs as you want as long as now wiring or other objects have been place between the studs you mount it in.

Aloha A C, Mine fit great between the wall studs that were sixteen inches on center. A little sloppy so I used some shims on one side due to it being an older condo and built in Maui. Height is no problem, just make sure you know where the wires are at in the wall. Depth will be a problem installing it in a 2x4 wall with insulation. Your will have to cut the insulation out behind the safe. It took me less than fifteen minutes to install it. I love it. Aloha, Captain

yes, studs must be 16" to mount per the instructions provided. Hope this helps!

I just measured the distance between the mounting holes once the actual horizontal var is in place and they are 16 inches SO you should be good to go!!!!Z

Yes. Meant to fit between studs in the wall which are 16 inches on center... Ceiling joists are typically the same. I have mounted many of these for multiple projects in both the ceiling and wall.

The mounts can be screwed onto studs useing 1/4 inch lag screws or three smaller wood screws in a triangular pattern as holes exist in the mount for these options. But since the mounts are not spaced 16 inches apart one mounting point will not be lined up with a stud. For the non-stud mount I used the Moen mount because it was more secure than normal plastic anchors for drywall.
