What is the distance between the two screws on the wall anchor? I am in a rental and cannot drill new holes.

The distance is 7/8" between the holes. If you have to add a hole just leave the rod in place when you leave. Believe me it's worth it for the extra room in the shower.

I used a hollow wall anchor in my drywall.It was this style:http://www.amazon.com/Short-Hollow-Drive-Anchor-pieces/dp/B004S6NOFK/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid;=1366984780&sr;=8-7&keywords;=hollow+wall+anchorJust make sure you get the correct size for your wall thickness. They should be available at your local hardware store. Also, they say no drilling is required, i still drill a hole so that you don't damage the drywall. I believe i used a 1/4" drill bit to drill the pilot hole. just as long as the hole is not larger than the anchor itself.

Sorry, but I didn't sink the anchors. I just drilled a tiny guide hole, and then screwed the screws into our plaster & lath walls with a screwdriver. It seems tight and secure.

The anchors required are determined by the kind of wall you have, and the size of the screws/bolts you have. Once you unscrew the unit, it's best if you leave the old anchors in the wall, then buy new ones to complete the job at the new location. A local handyman may help, or stop by your local hardware store for specific guidance. (They'll also have suggestions for removing the old anchors and repairing the holes.)

Not sure what you're asking. The anchor needs room to expand. I would recommend the RES fastener. What is the wall substrate? I've installed bars inalmost any situation, but more information would help. What is the quality/ thickness of the fiberglass?

Have not attached my yet but there is not enough of an edge to drill through. The clips are anchored just outside the edge of the cover using screws. You can install the anchors in wood or drywall. Then to secure cover you just turn the clip so it holds it in place. I'm going to anchor mine right to the molding I have around my air conditioner. Be advised if unit is bought from Drillspot.com through Amazon that they may ship if from another vendor. My first one came cracked and part of the edge broken off. They re-shipped a new one but said if that one came broken then they would refund my money. Luckily the second one arrived unharmed. It comes in a very weak box.

The unit is made to mount on studs that are 24 inches on center which means that the mounting holes are probably 22 inches apart. You can move one of your anchors to make the fit and the rack housing should cover the hole that was vacated. This unit is worth the trouble.

Screws are 8 3/4 and 1 3/4 (center to center). You'll have to drill new holes but the plate is big enough to hide the old ones.Hope that helps

the holes are standard 3 and 4 inches apart. I only have a 19" with mine and its perfect! I agree that this mount is heavy duty, i even had trouble mounting into a stud because the screws are that good! (and not crappy like a few other mounts I've purchased)

I used an anchor because my wall studs are 22 on center 2x6s? They (2) have not fallen down.

use lead anchors for concrete or lock walls. Try different sizes fr your hardware store to find the right size

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.

I used the screws that came with it, and pulled it out of the wall within 24 hours. By being a klutz and tripping against it! Replace the 1" screws with 1.5" and you'll be happy.

3 and 1/2 inches from the base and perhaps another inch for the screw. Good luck.Ilko

use anchor bolts thru the sheetrock or find the stud in the wall and use longer wood screwws to attach

Hey Paul, the holes are approximately 16" apart from center. That is the standard stud width inside your home, but that's not always the case. My stud width inside my was about 17", so I got a couple of 2x4s and bridged the studs. The I installed the unit. I hoped this helped.

That measurement was 6 7/16" on center, but the viewer hole is not in the exact center of that. So, you would need to measure center-to-center from the viewer hole to each screw hole location before drilling. (You could always just patch the old holes and use touch-up paint). Good luck.
