Can these safety straps be screwed into the wall rather than the TV stand?

Yes Much better that way. Find stud locations and use lag bolts 1- 1/2 long

You could as they are strong enough. If I were to do that I would make sure that the upper stand was affixed to the wall for added stability and not put the heaviest items on the upper rack.

the straps need to be screwed into the back of the monitor/tv.most TV's come with the needed holes,but I looked at the back of my pc monitor(HP) and I don't see any holes.if yours does not have holes either,i would say no,that can't be secued to the monitor.i know of no other straps.

I thought about it, then I moved my TV over so I could line it up with the stud. There is just too much weight on this, even empty, for it to be trusted hanging from just anchor bolts in dry wall. I would avoid it if you can.

you can screw it into the wall or an entertainment center. The best choice will depend on your particular setup and needs. They provide enough screws with the straps.

There should be plenty of room to attach the stand to the wall if u can go closer to the edge of the TV. The straps are adjustable but not like 3' worth maybe closer to two feet so it does depend where you start from on the mounting.

Yes. Gravity is the primary mechanism for the stand. It works. There is a small strap at the top you can secure using a screw into the wall.

yes, but you'd have to anchor the non-stud screws. And there are smaller, single-stud mounts that may be better suited depending on the dimensions of your equipment.

Absolutely. It is easy to do it anyway you want. The mounts are on the four corners and can even be drilled into the wall so it hangs at an angle. Have fun!!

Cindy, I did not have to use the safety strap. It is standing square and strong on its own. There has been no leaning or bending of the unit and I have piled some stuff into the cabinets! To install the safety strap, you do need to screw into the wall towards the top of the unit. However, like I said, we haven't had an issue. Good luck!

I have my attached to the wall and its at an angle and works fine. I have a 65" tv hooked up to it. The tv is on a stand and the strap is added protection.

I don't believe so . I found it easy to install in a wall unit for holding a TV.

Yes you can if your hanger is bolted to the studs in your wall and not hanging on drywall anchors.

I did use the screw-in anchors for drywall just to me safe. i do not intend to put a lot of weight in the racks, but secure is better.

No the tv just sits on top of the unit. You could clamp the back of the tv stand to the top of the unit to secure the tv to the top.

I did not attach the stand -- mine went straight to the wall. It looked very straightforward, though. I would think the only limitation might be the weight of the TV and the user's ability to manipulate it carefully and safely. Assuming one had the physical strength or a little assistance, it should be pretty easy.

Yes they can, you should only need longer screws. I fit the weights on the outside.
