I want to mount this on a wall bed. Would the locking mechanism hold the tv in the collapsed position when the bed is down?

Mine don't really lock. I just pull it out and push it back as I need to. I think the locking mechanism is only for the tilt position only. It can lock so that you can tilt it but not pulling it out like an arm and back in. I hope this is helpful.

I would assume that it would since the arm has some stiffness to it it does stay in the position that you set it at I hope this helps

It should hold because the locking mechanism will "click" ensuring that its secured to the wall mount. Then you would have to reach around the back of the tv to unlatch the tv from the wall mount by pressing the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism seems pretty secure by my experience.

If you are saying that the TV is on the wall, inside the bed, and you want to push the TV and mount against the wall when you are closing the bed up and will it stay collapsed?, then yes. Just remember the mount sticks out a minimum of 5" away from the wall without any tilt, then add the thickness of your screen then you would be able to figure if you have enough room. If you are talking about the mount being on the outside of the bed, like it would be under the bed when you pull it down, then NO, it would not stay collapsed. You could make a way to cover it or strap it so it would not open but it will not lock to the wall. Hope this helped! :) By the way, I LOVE this wall mount!

It locks the TV to the bracket. It is a great mount you won't be disappointed. Hope this helps!

Yes but it needs to be tightened down which limits swivel. I put a heavy TV on it and it works fine but I can't remove it the way I mounted it and wish I had tightened down the swivel all the way as I don't use that feature. If you want it to swivel probably not good for heavy tv

Yes it locks but a strong bump could make it unlock and the TV would swing down. An additional locking system like a brace or cam over the shaft can be made to be sure it won't unlock and come down.

Dolores, I too had to really tilt my tv as well and it has not fallen off or even moved. I just made sure it was in a strong stud in the wall and the TV itself was tightly secured to the bracket holder. Maybe add a small unnoticeable strap to tv itself to have piece of mind. Hope this helps you!

My husband says yes it will hold it nice as long as you are in the studs not just anchors. Because that's a heavy tv. We are happy still with the product. No sagging but we don't move it around its set & left alone.

TV has two swivel points. One at the joint of the wall and second at the joint to attach TV. Thus, yes as long as wall doesn't obstruct TV movement.

As long as the base of the TV is less than 20 inches wide, then it will hold the TV.

The 'T' bolt you see in the picture at the lower right actually locks it against the wall. When you push the tv back both arms become parallel and the 'T'bolt slides up a ramp and drops in a hole at the back of the tv mount. To release it you have to pull the bolt down. I mounted a 32 " TV on mine and the bolt hangs just slightly below the bottom of the TV. You will need about an inch of space for the bolt to drop down and if you have a large TV you may have to reach behind the tv from the bottom preferably to grab the bolt and pull it down. It is very solid and does work great.

Bella, The answer to that question is based on the size of the tv. The box for the mount did not say the weight, but I have a 20" tv on it in my rec room. As long as you install the mount in a wall stud and it is secured according to the directions, the company states that it will hold any tv up to 27", which is heavier than my 20" model. Easy to install as long as you have a good stud finder or are familiar with finding wall studs. By drilling in to the center of the wall stud, it is secured well enough to hold the weight. This model rotates 180 degrees so it will move well enough to see from any vantage point. It does not pivot up and down though, so if you need that feature I would not get this model. Model works well for the price and is holding up great.

I have a 50 inch led tv so I didn't want to take a chance of having it crash down. So I wall mounted mine but I've put a lot of weight on it and it didn't even budge. I would suggest to wall mount your tv just to be safe though

Should be no problem. There is a locking mechanism that locks the vertical hanger struts (mounted on the back of the TV) and prevents them from coming off the horizontal rails. All that you need to ensure is that the angle adjustment on the vertical rails (that adjusts the lean away from the wall) is torqued down tight with a screwdriver.

You probably need to loosen up the bolt right behind the mounting TV plate and if you have it mounted to stud good on the wall it should not fall off.

Not sure bud. My tv was 66lbs and sagged pretty badly. It's not the base plate that goes in the wall, it's the extended plate that the tv rests on. I would *guess* that 30 lbs might be ok? I went with. $200+ peerless mount and am MUCH happier.

You can turn it and move it in and out from the wall but not really tilt it up and down without loosening. It is very strong and well made. I use it on 55 inch Samsung.

I would have to say the only reason if the VESA mounting is the same would be because of the weight. I know my TV weighs around 40lb and the counter weight of this bracket works perfectly after a little adjustment. It is totally safe and will never fall while in the up position, however with a little force I can swing it down. Again, the only think I would be worried about is if you wouldnt be able to adjust the counter weight enough to equal out the amount of your monitor, causing it once moved into the down position to return up.

Depends on if you have the TV mounted to a stand or piece of furniture. The strap simply stops the TV from being tipped forward - but won't anchor the base from sliding.
