Can this be mounted without "cutting" a hole? I have a stud on one side drywall on the other to drill screws/anchors. It's for a woman about 120 lbs.

The big anchors this bar uses requires a sizable hole and space inside the wall. No way around it, I'm afraid.

I had the exact situation. I screwed directly into the stud for one anchor and drilled a hole as recommended for the other. This will give you a strong and solid installation. That is what I also would recommend. If you use a standard wall anchor you will downgrade the usefulness as a grab bar. I installed mine because my father(Age 95, 180 lbs) had used the standard toilet paper holder as a grab bar and ripped it out. The Moen holder I installed is as solid as the day I installed it. Moen has it right. Do it right and forget about it. Good luck

because the people in our house weigh so much more than that, we took out a small portion of the dry wall and added a "stud" and patched and sanded, etc....it is so secure....plus we angled it just a little bit , so that the paper roll won't fall off.....there will be no accidents here

The mounts can be screwed onto studs useing 1/4 inch lag screws or three smaller wood screws in a triangular pattern as holes exist in the mount for these options. But since the mounts are not spaced 16 inches apart one mounting point will not be lined up with a stud. For the non-stud mount I used the Moen mount because it was more secure than normal plastic anchors for drywall.

OMI haven't done it but the instructions say it's possible. See this PDF. http://www.moen.com/shared/docs/instruction-sheets/ins10086.pdf We used the "drill hole" option and it is very solid. I'm around 230 Lbs. Maybe use the "Screw into stud" for one mount and the "Hole in drywall" for the other.73

to meet it's intended purpose you need to catch at least one stud - preferably on the leaning forward to get up side - the back would be ok with a good drywall anchor. normally a block is placed between studs to support the whole thing.

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.

Yes, or you can attach one side directly to the stud and shim the other side. The screws dig into the wood well, so the tension might be enough without the shim on the one side. Mine fit fine that way.

This has to attached to a stud- it's too heavy for drywall and anchors. I hope this helps.

Hi Shara. I suspect it can. I mounted one side to a stud but the other side is in standard drywall. I have 9 pots and pans and a potted plant on my rack, and all seems fine.

This can be installed in dry wall no studs required. I can confirm, it will hold the weight it is advertised for.

If the deck post can support 120 pounds I'm sure you can figure out away to mount it. Good luck.

I mounted it directly into studs on a dry wall. Without knowing the weight of your quilt, I would think that you could still mount on a apartment door if you used anchors?

The company states that drywall installation is for 12 lbs or less, anything above that to a max of 50 lbs must be installed using the supplied lag screw into a stud. Hope this helps.

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

I mounted mine in my garage without any problems. I noticed the width of the bracket also, so I just put a slight angle on my screws as mounted the bracket. Both screws hit the "meat" of the stud. I also used a magnetic stud finder to find my stud, drew a small line at the center of the stud, then centered the bracket on that line and screwed it in.

I wouldn't do it unless you get the heavy duty thru-wall type drywall anchors, not those plastic screw type ones. I mounted mine on a decorative piece of wood that I screwed into the wall studs.

It does not have to be. It Comes with necessary hardware to mount on a drywall. If there will be lot of movement then it is always better to mount on a stud. I mounted mine on a stud.

No. You can use drywall anchors. However the anchors that come with the rack are too light. I went to the hardware store and bought 100 lb anchors. It has been holding tight even though it is full and I have stuff on the top shelf.

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

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.

My husband installed the rack for me in our laundry room. I believe he used drywall anchors on part of it but he may have found a stud for one side. Sorry, I don't remember. I am very happy with the rack. I dry alot of clothes on it and have space beneath it to store laudry baskets.
