Mounting sounds extremely complicated. Can it be mounted to studs? What's the space between? I feel studs would be so much more secure than toggle...

Mounting is easy because it's designed for 16" stud centers. If you can mount it this way, you don't need the toggles.

Yes you can mount it to studs. The bar is 16" which is the usual spacing between studs. The mounting plates are circular designed for 3 screws so you should be able to get at least 1 or hopefully 2 screws into the studs at each end. Of course you need to accurately find the studs before you start drilling. If you are redoing a shower and opening up the wall I'd recommend adding solid blocking where you're planning to install the bar. That's what I did. The hollow wall fasteners included look like some pretty heavy duty items, and they must be approved for this purpose, but I also wanted it fastened into wood. Yes you can mount it to studs.

It can be mounted to studs on 16 inch centers. The mounting flange has a hole in the center with additional holes and radial slots that will permit some variation to the 16 inch center. They will also permit more than one fastener per flange.

I mounted mine to a stud. But I have a larger tv. It would depend on how much your tv weighs.if possible I would take the safe route.

It is suggested to mount it on studs but it is not really that heavy. I like to hit at least one stud. It can be mounted in any different ways and it can be centered.

That's really not possible. The weight will pull any toggles right out of the wall and take a big chunk on drywall with them. Your best best if you can't get into the studs is to mount a piece of 3/4" cabinet grade plywood or another very strong backing material to the wall studs and then mount the shelf to the plywood. We did that and then painted the backing the same color as the wall and you really can't even see it. Keep the size of the plywood limited to a minimum. We cut ours the height of the shelf unit (with brackets) and then the width to the width necessary to secure to the studs. Mine is loaded with hanging pots and then other items on the shelf.

Very definitely mount in a stud.. consider the length of the arm and what is on the end :) good luck

If you are mounting to dry wall you can put two bolts into the lone stud. One in the upper slot/hole and one in the lower slot/hole located in the slot/hole next to the middle slot/hole. In the end slot/hole fartherest from the stud I would use 3/16" toggle bolts. You might not want to exceed a 32" LCD or a 40" LED screen size.

My studs did not line up well either since I mounted mine in corner of garage. I did not use drywall anchors though; I build a frame using 1x6's which I think worked very well. It is super sturdy, and I wasn't worried about seeing the wood mounted on the wall since it was the garage. I have pictures of how I did it, so if you want to see them, just let me know. My email is jshook12@yahoo.com Good luck!

The speaker has a bit of a recessed lip that holds the unit in place and tabs that lock in behind the wall board as you tighten the screws. I believe you can get fairly close to the stud, if you rotate the speaker so the tabs have room to attach to the wall or ceiling. I would stay a 1/2 away from a stud to be safe.

If your walls have studs at every 16" its good. But, if its a newer building or in a commercial space, there is a good chance its 24" spacing and it would not be the safest thing to do. You'll have to anchor part of the bracket just to the dry wall with anchors. I wouldn't use one of those plastic ones most people use with wall decor, but an actual toggle. Maybe a professional would have a different opinion.

I have the same wall mount. I have mine set up for two studs, although if necessary there holes in the center if I wanted to set it up for just one stud. I chose the 2 stud option to be safe.

If I recall the directions recommend 2 studs. I have placed mine on 1 stud with extra lags into the stud plus large toggles in the open bay.

You could mount to drywall, but I would use toggle bolts instead of anchors. If you will be hanging something fairly heavy, like a ladder, and putting it up and down fairly often, then you should definitely screw into studs. I have three mounted to studs and they work fine.

Honestly, I don't remember where I put this mount, probably for a TV we built into the kitchen cabinets. Given the hole setup, it doesn't look possible to span two studs. Looks like two screws/bolts into one stud vertically, which should be fine. It would be best to put this into a stud, but there are drywall anchors that are more than capable of taking this weight. Not those push in plastic ones, but something like this: http://www.menards.com/main/store/20090519001/items/media/Hardware/COBRA002/Prod_Tech_Spec/FlipToggle-tech_spec.pdf

It would probably be best if you did mount it on the stud. It's pretty heavy all by itself, and we have heavy components on it, so that's what we did. If you don't I'd suggest anchors for sure.

I absolutely would only screw it into the wood studs with the screws. Mine is rock solid AND I too am a perfectionist. If it's not in a stud, you MUST use the anchors, but I can't vouch for it's sturdiness.

Pretty much designed to be mounted... not something you'd move around easy in my opinion... good luck

I installed it to a stud in the wall,. The screws that came with it are really long. It works just fine for me. Hopefully that helps!
