can this be mounted on a wall with the studs 24 inches apart? everyone that we've tried before requires 16 inch studs.

I do not believe it can, it isn't wide enough for 24" studs. I installed mine with six wall anchors and did not screw into a stud at all.

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.

Yes. The predrilled holes are spaced 16" apart. Try and have 1 side hit the studs and then use wall anchors to support the other side. The weight of the units on the shelves will be supported mostly by the brackets that are on the studs. The packaged bolts are huge and long. Power them in the stud.

As long as you have 16 inch on center of your studs your fine. If more you can brace it.

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.

Christopher, did you actually purchase this mount? If so, does it actually hit three studs 16" apart?

If you drill into the studs, yes. However, the holes that are pre-drilled are not 16" apart, so you have to find the studs, then line up and put an extra hole into the hanger. No big deal, but it does tale a bit of time. I have had two of these in two different houses. Put both into the studs... Plenty of strength that way.

Yes you could put the screws in the last holes and that would be 24 inches. I have mine at 16 because that is where my studs were! Most houses the studs are 16 on center, I've not heard of any being 24 on center, what I would do is use two 2x6s and run them across the 24 in gap and go from there! The only thing with that is your TV would be 1 5/8 inches farther out than just the plain mount!

I have a pair of 19"s on mine, and can move them from the post 18" forward with out them touching each other, so given the 24" is wider, and may not be able to move as far forward as the 19s, I would say 15-16" off of the post

The problem with 24" monitors is that you won't be able to move them forward much, since doing so pushes the mounts toward the center post, reducing the available space for monitors. However, I only have four 21" monitors, so I can't verify how much you can actually move them forward.

Yes. The unit comes with anchors. My unit isn't attached to any studs. Now, if you have a LOT of heavy objects that you will be hanging, you might want to put it in a stud. The closest screw holes are 17 inches apart and the farthest are 22 inches apart. I hope this is helpful!

16" apart for studs. I found it necessary to hang on 3 studs total for maximum stability. Not sure of an alternative.

You can if that is the look you are going for as about 26" against the wall then it will taper out about 16" to a total of 20" out from the wall. I hope this helps.

Yes, the mounting holes are setup for wall studs on 16" centers. The vertical spacing of the holes are approximately 2 1/2".

Yes and no. Upon delivery the shortest width is 32" and that is because this product was designed to be mounted to wall studs, which are usually spaced 16" apart. However, if you're handy, you can probably shorten the tubes to the length that works best for you. Keep in mind, though, that 24" will probably not allow you to mount at least one side, if not both, to wall studs, basically rendering what you're trying to do useless, it'll pull out from the wall.

Yes the mounting bar holes are spaced for 16" centered studs. You can see installation instructions online at Lewistools.com

Two wall studs are needed 16" apart. The mount comes with lots of extra hardware to adapt to almost any flat screen TV.

I installed this at my sons house, so I don't have the mount here to measure. But, as I remember it's at least 24 inches (maybe a little more) - enough to mount on studs that are 16", 18" or 24" apart.

I was able to mount on 16" studs. There isn't much room after you hang tv so be sure to have all plug ins before attaching.
