what distance do the studs have to be? Looks like a great product but it would need two studs spaced the same distance as the way it is meade

The mount lines up with 12 or 16" spaced studs. Mine were 24" apart so I had to improvise a bit.

Well David...I will try. Having thought about the many ways this device can be mounted, it's no wonder they weren't included. 2by4, 4by4, wall mounted. I read that one guy mounted it on a short 2by4 then clamped it in a vice when he needed it. I can tell you that when I went to the hardwarre store to get bolts, I thought the holes were 3/8". I was off by 20 thousanths (to large). Im going to drill it to accommodate the larger bolts. Best advice (what I should have done) is to take the device to the store and try sizing it there. Now...how ar you going to mount it is the question. What kind of bolt & how long. If it is a wall you might want to use a "lag screw". But make sure to drill into a stud to get max strength. Good luck.

My studs were 16 in apart. I had hard time with installation. I`m not happy with the product. It`s very lite. I`ll get something more reliable from Home Depot or Lowe`s.

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.

Thats a tough one,i would locate the position of the bracket on wall and use small drill bit to locate studs,if that doesn't work use large enough toggle bolts to secure bracket to wall.good luck

I have 4 of these on an interior wall and they're great but I agree with Lovelivetoread, I'd look for a stud. We tried dry wall anchors and they didn't work. I use the hooks for a helmet & gloves or shoes so that adds a little too.

MT is right; you need to mark the studs first. I would not use sheetrock mounting options for this, as you want it to be able to support the weight. Use a stud finder to mark the studs. they are generally 24" apart.

The width is only for the television; only the upright bar mounts to the wall, and pretty securely on one stud, so you'd likely want to center the assembly on a stud. Also, lots of options for fitting various television configurations. i'd be surprised if a TV didn't fit one of the options.

I can tell you its definitely too large to attach all 4 holes to one stud. I have a 20 inch TV mounted only using two holes.

We had to mount ours Into only one stuf because our house is so old. It doesn't seem to be an issue, I suggest at least one stud though. My husband put it up in about a Half hour

It takes two screws to mount. If your're not going into a stud it would be good to use moly's with the screws. I honestly can't remember if they came with it but I'm inclined to say it didn't.

I would not recommend that. It's a lot of downward pressure and will likely rip out of the wall like that. It's not hard to find a stud

Dowels and glue with predrilled holes, or "L" brackets if you don't mind the look, and can locate studs, would work. It's a good little unit.

Apropos of my previous answer....the screws are indeed 16" apart. However, husband still thinks he didn't use two studs to hang it. Frankly, I think the old buzzard is losing his mind.

In my opinion, your not going to damage the stud. Studs are I think 18"s apart to spread the weight out on a wall. In a worse scenario, If you had to remove the wall board to get to the stud you could always splice another stud to the damaged one by screws or bolts to strengthen the stud. I hope this answer helps.

The screw holes are a bit over 17 inches apart. You could tilt the rack slightly in order to get both screws into studs. The spot I wanted to hang it did not have studs at the appropriate locations so I used molly bolts. Had it up for several months and it is holding up well with frequent use.
