Anybody know if this can be mounted into concrete block? (Want to use it in classroom). Thanks!

As long as the correct screws and tools are used. There is a flat panel that gets screwed to the wall and the gate hooks to that.

Yes, with the proper hardware for attaching the hinge and locking strips to concrete blocks. The proper screws can be obtained at any hardware store.

If you use Tapcon screws it should work. However, beware a very specific bit that sometimes comes with the screws is required. I have used Tapcon's to anchor cabinets to a slab and they work very well. Match the Tapcon to the hole opening on the mounting bracket.

Hi! I own these, but I installed with hollow wall anchors into drywall. I feel you in regards to plastic inserts into concrete, NOT the way to go ! Get wedge type anchors from Menards, Home Depot, LOWE'S, etc. if memory serves correctly, the mounting holes are only about 5/16, so 4 small concrete anchors would be more than enough to hold up a speaker. The anchors won't need to be more than 1.5 inches long. Hope this helps! Loni S Howard Howard Productions, LLC

I believe they sent wall anchors to allow you to mount into concrete. If not, you can buy a concrete drill bit and concrete wall anchor and you should be able to mount into concrete. I never had much issue with mounting the tv to the wall... my only issue was it didn't seem to stay level with the size of tv i was using. Definitely not good if you are extending the arm. Just my 2 cents worth.

I have not tried to drill in concrete with this drill, and I would not try it with anything besides a hammer drill. I did it once with standard corded drill and it took forever.

You should be able to install this to a concrete wall for sure. You will need concrete anchors to make this happen though. From what I have looked up, you should be good to go.

Yep, provided you screw it into a wooden stud. Not sure about concrete, and it will definitely pull right out of dry wall, so get a stud-finder and go to town.

I would assume that you would need a drill that could make contact with the concrete and drill it into the wall. I am a 22 yo college student and found it very easy to do by myself, however I just inserted it into a wood stud in the dry wall through drilling 4 holes in alignment with the back of the hoop. It really is an awesome product. The rim has a lot of flex so its like shooting in a gym and its really sturdy. I don't recommend hanging on in but I hung on the backboard to make sure it was sturdy for about 20 seconds and didn't move at all and i'm about 200 lbs.

This unit can be mounted in brick with the use of a masonary drill bit and the enclosed four lag screws provided... However... There are only 2 inserts enclosed... and... their application would NOT be what is needed... Take the four lags to a hardware store and get a better combo...

The only way I think this could be accomplished is to chain to a structure. If one does not exist you could pour a concrete slab with a chain embedded and then lock. No matter what you do, if Some one wants it bad enough they will find a way to tak it!!

I didn't put mine in concrete. I think there were extra pieces that may be used for that, but I am not sure. Sorry!

The drill is very easy to operate. It could drill fence posts very easily. I have not tried to drill concrete. However, it has plenty of torque so I would guess it could drill into concrete pretty well.

with all due respect, please ask the manufacturer. I hung mine on a normal interior wall, not concrete.

Hi Larry, to be absolutely honest we hung them unto concrete walls and we had to use special pugs and screws for that. Unfortunately I'm not into those details as I hired a contractor this. What I can say however that I was very happy to see the quality of the product. My kids really enjoy them one is pre teen and the other much younger. There is a lot of info about installation on the net. I'm so sorry that I could not have been of greater assistance. But its not hard to get the info.

Mine is installed on an exterior stucco wall. You will need a concrete drill bit and concrete screw. As long as you have the right drill bit and screw, there is no reason it can't be installed on a concrete wall.

It is not necessary to mount this into studs on your concrete wall. However, you will need to make sure you purchase the correct mounting hardware for your application.

As long as you mount it to something secure, it works great. They just don't want someone to be able to smash the unit off the wall, so brick, concrete block, metal studs are all great. Wood, siding - not so good. The unit will probably survive but your wall wouldn't.
