I live in an apartment. How many bolts are drilled into the wall to hold up this mount? Thanks.

4 vertical holes in one stud. For massive lag bolts with 9/16 hex. Top to bottom 15" HEAVY DUTYSuggest thin buffer between wall and mount.. less texture and sheetrock damage

It takes 4 bolts into the wall. One on the top and bottom and there are two in the middle. All the holes are pretty much evenly spaced out vertically to all fit into a single stud.

If you have a stud you need to use 4 which is what I did and it works fine on my 42 inch, 55 lbs tv.

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

The mount itself is not heavy. I'd guess maybe 20 pounds. The TV is the heavy object. The specs say it supports up to 66 lbs of TV, so obviously do not exceed that limit. As far as the stud -- this is a ceiling mount fixture, so I'm going to assume you meant the ceiling joist. I mounted mine w/ 50 inch TV in the corner of the room to the joist using the lag bolt hardware provide and it is rock solid. I could probably do a chin-up on it. I cant image any normal situation where the ceiling would fail before the mount itself, but obviously doing anything like this yourself assumes some risk on your part. The mount itself is not heavy.

This is a very VERY sturdy mount. It would be fine as long as the bolt patterns line up and you find a stud to screw into (per usual with wall mounts) you will like it.

This is a bad answer, but "not the number I bought". I have four unopened boxes in my garage because I could not understand what goes with what. I'm happy with the mounts but I paid WAAAY too much for not being able to answer your question. One possible answer is "none", but don't quote me.

I'd screw the thing into a stud. Second choice would be wall anchors (molly bolts).

I have a Chief wall mount that recesses into wall for a nearly flat install. Works well to pull out from wallTo get to imputs. Cost about $400 plus install

husband did the installation. i think there were 2 anchor screws. magnet is kind of heavy, very strong!, and sturdy. mounting on drywall possible if you attach to wood support behind drywall. i've been a renter-would not recommend unless you leave it behind for the next occupant. hope this helped.

We mounted into drywall. But I also used anchors rated for 60#. Works well.

The mount goes on with 2 screws, so about as few holes as you could put in the wall.

Thanks, we moved a 42" Sharp and want to remount elsewhere. It is approx. 3.5 years old and weighs 68plus pounds. They used a Level Mount brand that weighs approx 20 # on its own and very complicated. we will be mounting on drywall and know we have to use studs. just wanted an easier solution. The mount that we took down is for TV's up to 200 pounds. Think this one may be overkill. But the TV is too expensive to get rid of. Thanks again.

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.

I have a new 80" Sharp LC-80LE757U which weighs 135.6 pounds. The wall mount in question claims a 165 pound rating. With a couple of lag bolts in at least 2 solid wall studs...in addition to the screws supplied, the mount is very well made and will hold the load.

For best results you need to mount onto studs. My unit was mounted on a new doubled stud wall so all 6 screws were solid. No fear of the hand bar pulling out that way. For an existing wall where you don't know if you'll hit a stud I would use the largest expanding anchor I could find. Good luck.

You mount it with four screws and four plastic anchors you put in the drywall. You have to provide these yourself though and you'll need a drill to make holes for the anchors

The mount will hold, no problem. Have to make sure attachment in the wall is very secure.

I'm dealing with the same situation except my Apt has drywall and metal studs over concrete. My neighbor had his HEAVY 65" Plasma hung by "Geek Squad" at Best Buy for $400 plus cost of mount. I'm too afraid to hang mine by myself so unfortunately I'm going to have to bite the bullet pay the $400 :) Good Luck 2 U !! Our 75" Samsung's rock !!!
