Is it better to buy the screw on or bolt on version? I'd like to fix the plywood I mount these on directly to my drywall (into the studs of course).

I have had no issues with screwing these in, although each hold needed different depth screws. A little planning goes a long way..

I mounted 1 and 1/4 plywood to the studs and then used the screw in type to mount them to the plywood. Worked well for my 6 and 7 year old's. I would think it would be awkward to bolt them to the plywood then screw the plywood into the studs as the bolts would protrude from the back of the plywood.

If you are mounting plywood directly to the drywall, use screw ons. If you are up for building the wall on a frame that's mounted on the drywall, so there is room behind the climbing wall, i recommend going with bolt ons...you'll have more long term flexibility for hold placement

I have lots of both. I like the bolt-on version because I trust the strength of the bolts more than that of screws. That said, I've never had a screw break on me so there's no evidence for my suspicions. I use deck screws, which are stronger than drywall screws. However, your stated mounting approach (plywood directly to drywall) will quickly haunt you with either approach, because your screws or bolts will bottom out (for bolts) when they hit the drywall, or the screws will go into it and make dozens of holes. You're best off having an 'empty' wall space behind your plywood.

Ratchet bolts would be the best. Customers would have to supply the socket set to install. But at least the bolts wouldn't get stripped out like the ones used now or get their hands tore up? A couple of the bolts I installed I don't know if I will ever be able to get them out without cutting them off if I ever had too? But other wise we love the product! It's was easy to put together. The directions are easy to follow! I got it put together in less than an hour! The wall mount took longer than it should because of the bolts it comes with. I hope this helps.

Don't know your home or wall layout, if it were me and I like oak I would cut a piece to the proper size to either match my house wood trim or the pet fence and use masonary screws (tap-cons) and bolt the wooden section I just fabricated to the wall and then screw in the hooks and mounts. Just saying.

You can use drywall screws but your pieces might try to move. The screws they have drill a pilot hole as they go in. The Kreg screws are resonably priced and fairly easy to find.

There are two screws included with the cabinet. We use our own screws with molly wall anchors, however, since we were installing the cabinet on drywall. If you are installing on wood, you probably just need the screws. They are installed through the back of the cabinet onto the wall. The screws can be seen when the cabinet is open only. Hope that helps.

you have both options. On the wall I prefer using screws, on tiles or mirror adhesive is better.

I simply screwed it to the wall with the screws supplied. It's better if you can locate the wall studs or you will need to use plastic sheetrock fasteners after drilling the appropriate sized holes.

You better have at least 1 screw to the stud, the other 1 you can use heavy duty socket for your drywall.

My first suggestion is to contact distributor whose name and address is found in packing. The second is take sampleof threaded stud and knurled nut(decorative) to ACE or other retail store for matching. These threaded studs & nutsare commonly used in mounting wall electrical fixtures.(They are not rare or hard to find! Just inconvenient!)

i bought mounts separately but never used them. save a few buck and mount them to the wall -- think it looks better anyway.

Chris, they were easy to mount. I just used one drywall size screw. You can also mount it aiming slightly left or right.

Its best to check with your local bldg. code office (phone call should work)! I use mounting brackets in drywall (these are plastic drywall brackets)!

depends on what your screwing into.If drywall then drywall screws with anchors.Into a stud use wood screws.

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.

I had wall studs exposed, so I mounted a 2x6 between the studs before sheetrock to give it something strong to hang on.After all sheetrock and paint done I just mounted brackets on wall w screws into that board. Culk and the plyming keeps it from moving around. Another option would be lag bolts w washer.I to found the brackets hard to understand, more the casting on the sink fault though. Just remember people, kids, have a tendancybto lean or rest on sinks.. so make the mount strong.Love the sink, works great!

Make sure you use. GOOD drywall anchors (toggles or similar). Mine is mounted with no stud. Holding strong for a year fully loaded (about 10 heavy duty AS pots & pans)

I got mine at Fastenal. here's their site... http://www.fastenal.com/web/home ...They had a local retailer about 5 miles from where I live. My review on the rail lists the proper screw size. Take your original screws there just in case. When you're done installing, loctite the crap out of it.
