No studs on a small corner wall. Do have 1" drywall. Anyone install this with heavy duty anchors? Eight should give about a combined 400lbs+.

I considered drywall anchors myself to position unit exactly where I wanted it. Then I discovered that the wall mount unit had five different positions for mounting the articulating arm. So I offset the arm on the wall mount which I screwed into wall studs, and was able to perfectly positioned the arm. The manufacturer clearly states in the instructions to screw the wall mount to wall studs or into a concrete wall.

Yes. You should be okay provided the drywall is that thick. I would recommend hilti toggle bolts instead of regular anchors though.

I wouldn't. This thing is heavy by itself, plus the TV. Can you screw some 2x4s horizontally to some nearby studs for mounting?

I put mine into studs but I think that anchor screws would probably work as well, though, I guess it all depends on the weight of your boards. I have not had any issues. They have worked perfectly for me.

Thats a tough one,i would locate the position of the bracket on wall and use small drill bit to locate studs,if that doesn't work use large enough toggle bolts to secure bracket to wall.good luck

According to the specs no problem with 100 lbs. - just make sure when you mount it to the wall it is done properly (locate studs and screw into them). Sheetrock with wall anchors or molly anchors most likely will not do the job!!!!!!

This installed very easily on dry wall. I used drywall anchors and screws rated for 75lbs from home depot.

Yes you could install w/o studs with hardware supplied, you need to drill large hole...Or you could purchase wall anchors and not have to drill large hole ...

Mine came with drywall anchors. Not the best quality though. I'd suggest picking up better ones from a hardware store for a buck or two.

Hi. It's been awhile, but as I recall it comes with wood screws, and maybe plastic anchors. The holes are 16" on center, so it should attach to studs. Two bungs, or plugs come with it also, to cover the screw heads.

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.

There is a bracket to hang unit on the wall. You can use that with some anchors if going into wall board. You may also want to use a 1 X 4 X 16" board and install that between the studs and then hang unit on the board for stability.

I wouldn't recommend attaching that much weight to the drywall. I'm using some small JBL's, and made sure they were anchored into the studs.

You will have studs in the corner unless you live in some kind of special house that has no corner studs. I used this unit for a 36" flat screen and put it right in the corner. Works great. Did not sag at all.

hello i do not know what you have for a wall but i can tell you i had the same problem i did not have any studs to work with but here is what i did.i used several large plastic anchors about6 anchors you can drill into sheet rock or plaster wall.using just 1 stud probably you will not do it i had a 40 inch tv.if u usereally big plastic anchors it will carry a good bit of wheight.and do so safely. believe me it wont fall down as the tvs are not really heavy.i would not use 1 stud as the tv may tilt or come loose.if you can locate at least 2 studs it will be ok.plastic anchors will carry a great deal of weight but use thebigest ones you can buy. what i am trying to tell you forget the studs and go into a flat surface on your wall. it will work have no fear of it falling. hope this helps you tony.

I used drywall screws (instead of the screws that come with it), and it seems pretty secure in the drywall.The mounting holes are about 28" apart, so you will not be able to get both sides in a stud. It's not that heavy though, so it shouldn't be a problem.

For best results you need to mount onto studs. My unit was mounted on a new doubled stud wall so all 6 screws were solid. No fear of the hand bar pulling out that way. For an existing wall where you don't know if you'll hit a stud I would use the largest expanding anchor I could find. Good luck.

To insure strength and stability of the mount it is essential to have a solid mount. Simply mounting to drywall with anchors will not provide this. Depending on where you want to center the mount this may not be possible. A suggestion would be to attach a board across two adjoining wall studs and then anchoring the mount to the board. Not as "pretty" but it will be effective.

As long as you use the heavy duty wall anchors you should be ok. A better option would be a good piece of wood like a 1x4 about 40" anchored to the drywall. The locking mechanism is pretty stout and a good bump might pull the drywall anchors out.
