Does this need to be mounted on studs

No, it is mounted in wallboard or vanity by cutting out a prescribed hole and using the back plate which is included in kit. As you tighten the screws the back plate compresses against whatever wall you are installing it in which holds the holder in place.

I don't really know. This was attached in a shower over tile. I really like it, it is secure in the shower, but don't have a definitive answer about studs or not. Sorry.

Yes. You need to have sufficient anchoring points on the surface to be mounted to. 46" has significant weight and as a result anchoring to studs is highly recommended.

Yes - just make sure (or try anyway) to not have it at a Stud. Just cut a hole in the sheetrock, there is a metal plate that fits behind it, and the front piece screws right on. I was really concerned myself and thought I might need a handyman, but it the end it was super simple and I did it myself. A screwdriver and a little saw to cut the sheetrock was all that was required.

For safety, drilling into a stud is preferred. If not possible, I would suggest using a drywall anchoring device.

Yes its best to mount it on studs so it wont become loose and fall off! This set is heavy itself!

Yes. The unit comes with anchors. My unit isn't attached to any studs. Now, if you have a LOT of heavy objects that you will be hanging, you might want to put it in a stud. The closest screw holes are 17 inches apart and the farthest are 22 inches apart. I hope this is helpful!

It only needs to be mounted on (2) studs. It does not, however, need to be centered about the mounting studs allowing adjustment for centering on the wall. The tv itself can also be shifted left or right once the mount has been fixed to the wall. Snap toggles are recommended for steel studs. This has been a great product, and I have recommended it to several friends.

Yes, but you are not going to have as secure of a mount on the stud. The mounting holes are oriented vertically but there are 2 rows. In the vertical position you get 3 large holes for the large screws, in the horizontal position you would only have 2 holes unless you modified it.

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)

Yes sort of. It can be mounted using only one stud. Becasue of where I wanted to put it on the wall it would not be centered with two studs. It gives you an option to mount with just one stud. Check the Omnimont website for directions. It was in the directions.

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 ...

I don't have mine mounted on a stud but the 'molly' screws that came with it hold it just fine. However, you would have to mount it on the wall above or beyond where the door slides, as it wouldn't be able to slide past the back of the screws. You didn't say you want to mount it on the actual door and I wouldn't, because pocket doors are wiggly so it might be difficult to keep the mirror stable.

Considering the weight of the unit I would say that at least 2 of the mounting screws should be screwed into a stud. Since our home is 250 years old I ran all 4 screws in to the 1" thick chestnut planks under the plaster.

You need to put this on studs if you are not mounting it on a brick or concrete wall, needs 2 holes & 2 people to hang it. It is fairly easy to install

Mounting to a stud should be your first choice. If you cannot mount to a stud, you can mount to drywall. I would not use the drywall mounts that generally come with items such as the Cheetah. You can find more reliable mounting options at a local hardware store.

NO! The screws supporting the rack have to be mounted well above the center of gravity or the excess load will be placed on the rack instead of transferring that load to the stud in your wall.
