How do I install the safety screw once I mount the tv hands dont fit behind TV

It is indeed a tight squeeze. I found the longest screwdriver I could and angled the TV up as much as possible. Even then I had to use the tips of my fingers to turn the screwdriver.

I know it's a little tight for adding/removing cables once it's mounted, but don't remember anything really difficult about the install.

I used a socket, put my screw driver(with rubber handle so it gripped inside the socket) with an extension to be able to reach it....... Think it's a flaw in the design but a little ingenuity and you'll get it :) Duck tape and a broom handle anyone?

I bought a 22" long screwdriver set locally for under $5 (at a discount tool supplier that sells "Pittsburgh" branded tools) and used that. I didn't have another screwdriver long enough in my 20+ years tool collection.

it depends on what the VESA size of your tv is? you can find this in your manual, or by measuring the disntance between the proper screws on the back of your tv. try checking this site for some tips on measuring. http://www.mountcenter.com/VESA-Mount-Standards-s/367.htm hope this helps

It has been some time since I mounted the TV holder however, I mounted into an open beam with 4 small lag bolts. I think it comes with mounting screws smaller than 1/4 inch.

The two vertical mounting brackets you see in the picture slide back and forth independently on the rail there so they will accommodate any size, from about 18" to 36". I mounted the bracket on the wall first, then removed the two vertical supports that connect to the TV. You attach those directly to the back of the TV with the supplied screws (they give you tons of screws for every size TV) Once the vertical mounts are attached to your TV, you simply lift it up and put it on the bracket on the mount, and tighten it down. The main bracket mounting took about 10 minutes, and attaching the TV and putting it up took about 3 minutes. Super simple. Good luck!

Ron, our recliner had the mounting screw. One option for you is to go to good will and buy a $20 recliner for the parts. We bought the handle for ours and it was the wrong size. Sorry I could not be more help. Jessie

I would definitely recommend two people. You have to screw the TV to the bracket while the TV is being held. You need the ability to hold the TV, which you really need two hands to do, which leaves no hands to insert and secure the screws.

I would recommend having someone to assist you. There are some parts that needs a second pair of hands to keep them in place while you are inserting screws

You can take the stand off of the TV and loosen the screws a little bit so that you can move the mount around and make sure it is level. Tighten the screws back up before putting the TV back on the stand, and make sure your TV is secure and won't fall over while you are adjusting the stand. :)

You can loosen the nuts just a bit where the arms mount on the back of the tv and the wall, this will make the arms move much better. Hope this helps!

Is should fit most popular flat screen tv's. It is very close to the the wall, so I used the screws to fasten the mount to the tv, first.

Good Evening Glenn,You should remove the metal plate and save the screws so you can use them to mount the rubber one.

Those screws will work if you item uses any sort of quick connect swivel mount. As for size, you use the longest of the two you stock will allow. You simply dirll a pilot hole the right size of the screw screw it in and your ready to go. You also may want to use a small amount of glue to keep the screw more secure.

Worked for me. I had the same issue. I was able to slide the mount to the side to catch both the center and one off to the side a bit, the arms allowed me to move the TV back to the center of the wall when pushed all the way in and still cover the mount in the back...in other words, I had a stud in the middle, but was able to screw the left side of the mount into that, then slide it over an mount the right side to another stud, but sill position the TV in the center of my space.

It will depend on how much room is available behind the set. Both screws will need to be removed (either top or bottom) and the mounting brackets inserted. If you don't need to dismount the tv, I would only remove one screw at a time.

after you take off the Tv, You should be able take off the wall cover, exposing the swing arm and mounting bolts. Push uo on the swing arm and a small pin near the top of the wall end of the arm should be visible. pull out the pin and the swing arm should side right off. Then you should have access to the mounting bolts. Good Luck

For additional space for inserting cables once the TV is mounted, used the u70-s wrench, insert into the square hole on either side of bracket and turn counter clock wise about a quarter of a turn. This will allow the TV to be angled downward the maximum amount to provide additional space behind the TV. Once the cables are in place, set the TV angle and lock each bracket with the u70-s wrench.
