Can you anchor these straight into a stud without the anchor? I.e. I want to hang these in my garage by drilling through the drywall and into the stud

Hi Larry, to be absolutely honest we hung them unto concrete walls and we had to use special pugs and screws for that. Unfortunately I'm not into those details as I hired a contractor this. What I can say however that I was very happy to see the quality of the product. My kids really enjoy them one is pre teen and the other much younger. There is a lot of info about installation on the net. I'm so sorry that I could not have been of greater assistance. But its not hard to get the info.

You may need a longer bolt. These are designed to work with hex bolts and t nuts. You could use an equal diameter bolt which would bite into the studs though.

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 they do not have to be anchored to studs. Our high quality no drill anchors will allow this shelf to hold up to 160 lbs with anchoring to a stud. If you have any other questions you may call me at 908-625-8882ThanksDavid Jablow

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.

Yes, you just mount these to either stud or drywall with an anchor. They come with rubber stops you can add on the back to level out the speakers.

it depends on the weight you intend to hang from the strip. i am hanging some basic tools and screws with plastic anchors seem sufficient. but as the weight increases, studs is what i would be looking for to anchor the strips.

No the included anchors are for wood or concrete only, you'll need separate drywall anchors.

You need to use anchors that expand when you put them into the hole you drill. They will lock in when you bolt them down.

I mounted them in studs to be on the safe side. While anchor screws may hold the unit tight against the wall, I would not want to risk having my two boards come crashing to my concrete garage floor. Good luck!

Yes. My grandpa was a master carpenter and I remember that he once mounted something on brick for us. I don't think he even had to find a stud, he just drilled holes into the brick, inserted those plastic reinforcement thingies, are those these "anchors" everyone keeps mentioning? Anyway, these provide a surface screws can bite into, and screwed whatever it was onto the wall that way! :-) You will most likely need a masonry bit for your drill to drill the holes. Sounds like you'll have a cool looking set-up when you are finished! Good luck! :-)

No problem, just be sure that your fasteners are attach to studs or thick wood... Enjoy

They're like Hercules Hooks, so they are meant to work in drywall. Not sure they could pierce paneling, plus they need a hollow space behind (like drywall has) to work... Unfortunately if a stud is in the way they don't work, which I figured out pretty quickly.

I used the crews that came with it. I was lucky to find a stud and attached it directly to the stud by going thriugh the drywall.

Not exactly clear on what your asking?? Are you mounting to a wall with studs behind the drywall?

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.

They're drywall anchors. If you're not mounting it in drywall you don't need them.

yes but you must use the correct length of screws and anchors, e.g., toggles. You can't screw directly into drywall.
