Can you mount it into drywall? I am installing this to hold a monitor for a security camera at work and the interior wall studs are metal

I made a 3/8" plywood plate and mounted that to the wall. Then muunted the unit to it. Without a plate I would use toggles to mount it to plain drywall.

No, not at all. As long as you can find a wooden stud, you should be fine screwing it in by hand. I have a metal frame behind my wall so I had to get special screws to hold it in JUST the dry wall and it's holding steady with about 10 pounds of books on there. So it's more about the screws yet get, rather then this product.

You could mount to drywall, but I would use toggle bolts instead of anchors. If you will be hanging something fairly heavy, like a ladder, and putting it up and down fairly often, then you should definitely screw into studs. I have three mounted to studs and they work fine.

There is a lot of leeway in regards to where you want to insert the screws into the studs. I would not have any fear or hesitation. I am very pleased with this wall mount.

It is held up by 2 mounting clips, it depends on your wall, if you have hollow drywall nails may not do it. Anything solid like wood nails will work.

Yes drywall. But I recommend into studs. If the tv is super light maybe drywall anchors but it's mounted on my drywall into studs and is solid!

there are 4 1 1/2" screws on the interior of the box, if mounting on drywall into studs you will want longer screws. The box is fairly secure if someone was really persistent to steal the box they could which is why I placed mine in an inconvenience place to be able to pry behind it or swing a hammer at it. I would say all in all it is secure.

I wouldn't install it on metal studs as is. I am in construction, and I would recommend cutting out the drywall out between the two studs you are planning on installing the tv mount at, and screwing 2x6 wood blocking between the metal studs, then mount the bracket on the wood blocking. Just make sure the cut is an even patch that hopefully won't show after the bracket is installed in case you can't tape the edges and repaint the wall.

This particular mounting system requires you have access to the back of the wall to put in the 'T nuts". Also, drywall wouldn't hold. They would just pull through.

We put ours on a stud. Not sure if it would hold the weight on just drywall.

i imagine you could do that. i did it with my other tv mount so i could make sure it was secured in the center of the stud. then i just drywalled close to it then put a cover on it.

I mounted mine to drywall using a 100lb wall anchor. Bit of overkill but never have to worry about something going wrong. A stud would work perfect as well. The rubber feet work great to make a nice secure and sturdy base against the wall.

I wouldn't do it. I have the same mount and on the inside cover of the manual on page 2 where it says caution: paragraph 4- "This product is not designed for use in metal stud walls" call the customer service number to be sure, they are very helpful.

I used anchors through drywall with no studs. Possibly using screws and washers w/nuts would hold it. Depends also upon whether the cabinet is fiberboard or real wood and how thick it is.

no, you will have to find some other way to mount it. The tabs provided are for half inch drywall.

it should be ok to use inside but only is it attached to a stud, it will not hold much weight if just in drywall alone.

Depends on the weight of the TV. But I wouldn't risk it. All wall mounts are really designed to use studs. Anything else is only as good as the wall anchor you use. I don't recommend doing it.
