Will I need molly anchors to mount to drywall?

The electrician just mounted my lighting fixtures right to the electrical boxes that he located right above the bed on both sides to provide super reading lights. If you are locating the lights away from the hard wired fixture, you could use molly's or other plastic screw plugs to affix the fixtures after running the appropriate wiring over to them.

yes, provided you attach the bracket using the included bolts into a structural member ie: a stud and NOT just onto the drywall. It is important to get at least 3 bolts into a stud.

Yes, mine had keyhole type brackets (like the ones on the back of power strips) that let you attach flush to the wall using screws. I don't remember whether or not screws and molly bolts were included, though.

Absolutely, of course dry wall anchors not required. The wood mount would actually be more desired for greater support with constant movement of the light. Hope this helps.

These are great hangers. We bought eight of them and they are mounted in two by sixes underneath the dry wall. You could used these but would need Molly's if hanging heavy things. Carol

The side pair of mine are mounted with the drywall anchors they sell at Home Depot, the metal ones that hold like 40lbs.. the description will have their weight, but I guess it depends on if there was something previously in the drywall, as to if it will hold or not.. sometimes patching isn't strong enough.

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

This holder comes with the screws needed to mount it. Adhesive tape holding that much weight just could not hold up long. The provided screws are the "molly" type that are designed for hollow wall board/sheet rocked applications. Those have a plastic sheath/anchor that goes into the wall board first and then the screw goes into the anchor. Molly screws hold more weight and the anchor helps keep them from pulling out of the wall. The Mollies will work to keep this holder on the wall far better than adhesives or plain screws can. If you are careful and don't tug on it, it will probably stay put for years. But, I like things to stay put and not have to worry about them. It is always better to mount things that get a lot of use and/or hold weight into two studs, one at both ends. When that isn't possible, situating it so that at least one screw goes into a stud is the next best thing. It only works if it stays on the wall.

Four toggle bolts of any of the sizes listed with any thickness of drywall would be enough to support the weight the mount is rated for. It is always best to fasten to a stud when mounting something. If not improvise and use another option for mounting just don't do pul ups off of it. http://www.powers.com/pdfs/plastic/togglebolt.pdf

No anchors - just rubber feet. You could probably fashion a mount with L brackets from the hardware store.

Yes, screws that can be used for wall studs or with heavy duty dry wall anchors. Just need a power drill, bits& Phillips head to install

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 never used the plastic anchors. When I mounted mine I just used the screws to a 2/4 stud. The same could be done if you have sheet rock over the wall. Just be sure you are on the STUD.

You can install this easily on drywall (no stud) using 1/4-inch "strap toggles" bolts. I got a six-pack for $8 to install my 70" TV on an articulating mount. Very good product that allows you to only drill a 1/2-inch hole versus a 3/4-inch hole required for Molly/toggle bolts of the same size.

We mounted into drywall. But I also used anchors rated for 60#. Works well.

Mine came with 2 screws and 2 drywall anchors. Just gotta provide a cross tip screwdriver.

I just happened to have a stud where I wanted to place it, but if you don't have a stud, you should use anchors of some type. Depending on how much weight you are going to put on the shelf, plastic expanders should work well, but molly bolts would be the most sturdy. It will leave a hole so be prepared to fix it if or when you remove the shelf.
