My husband installed the rack for me in our laundry room. I believe he used drywall anchors on part of it but he may have found a stud for one side. Sorry, I don't remember. I am very happy with the rack. I dry alot of clothes on it and have space beneath it to store laudry baskets.

Yes, that will,work fine. The only thing to bear in mind with drywall anchors is that they are not quite as strong as if you screw the support into a stud. These are not too heavily loaded rhough so should work good with an anchor. You may have to cut the rod down in size if you put the two ends too close together. That is also an easy fix with a hack saw.

Pretty tough to answer this question. I have to respond with how much weight do you need to support? 3 feet of hanging space can add up to a lot of weight. 3 ft = 36 inches. Every stud is spaced no more than 16 inches. Sometimes less when approaching corners. You should be able to find two studs.

As we remember, the anchors come with the product...it was a screw with a plastic sleeve that opened on the other side of the drywall. It is very secure.

The side pair of mine are mounted with the drywall anchors they sell at Home Depot, the metal ones that hold like 40lbs.. the description will have their weight, but I guess it depends on if there was something previously in the drywall, as to if it will hold or not.. sometimes patching isn't strong enough.

It includes drywall anchors if you don't have a stud available in the right place.. mounting instructions are included. It was super easy.

Absolutely, of course dry wall anchors not required. The wood mount would actually be more desired for greater support with constant movement of the light. Hope this helps.

I installed this in a wall with 2.5" studs, rather than standard 3.5" studs, and it worked fine. You should have at least 2.5" behind the drywall.

Mine is installed using only drywall anchors (100 lb), but I have my TV mounted to the wall above the unit, not standing on the unit. So the anchors only have to hold up the unit itself, and the devices I put on it. No issues so far.

The length of screw needed depends on how you intend to anchor the rail. I used two and a half inch long pan head screws because I was aligning the holes with the wall stud. Ahalf inch for the drywall thickness and 3/8 inch for the rail height leaving at least an inch and a half of screw thread secured into the stud. If you are anchoring the rail to drywall only -- you need to decide on several different drywall anchor choices available to you. I suggest you take note of the hole diameter in the rail and visit your local Lowe's hardware sales person to show you your options.

I would suggest taking the one screw you have to your local hardware store (Lowes, Home Depot, True Value, ACE) and find a matching screw in the hardware aisle. Make sure you roughly match the head shape (tapered, flush mount I think) diameter and length of the shaft; this will be important if you are using the same drywall anchors.

Hi, I personally don't know.. I asked my husband and he said it wouldn't be a good idea (if there's no studs.) He said when we put ours up we did attach it to studs in the wall. (Ours seems very sturdy and we have a bit of weight on it.) And he thinks our walls are 1/2" but it should work just fine with 3/4". Hopefully that helps a little. Sorry I couldn't give you a for sure answer.

Simple with drywall screws, no need for anchors. Our oven has been up on these brackets now for 6 months without any incident. HTH

Both can be used; however it depends on how much weight you intend to hang from the holder. Watch the rating of the anchors. If the weight is more than the anchors, go to stronger toggle bolts. Just keep in mind the drywall has a pull-out weight limit as well. Anchored into studs is best.

As long as you use the heavy duty wall anchors you should be ok. A better option would be a good piece of wood like a 1x4 about 40" anchored to the drywall. The locking mechanism is pretty stout and a good bump might pull the drywall anchors out.

Hi. If you're dealing with drywall, I used WingIts MAWSD35B24 Master Anchor Super Duty for Drywall, and they work like a dream. They can definitely handle the weight - no problem. Good luck!

3/8" drywall is the thin stuff. If you can get a nice board that would go with your wall that you can anchor into the drywall with at least 6-8 anchors it would greatly strengthen the rack installation. Might be worth a try. I have done tank-less waterheaters this way but would be best to find what studs you can.

Mine came with drywall anchors. Not the best quality though. I'd suggest picking up better ones from a hardware store for a buck or two.

Should work fine just get some overkill dry wall anchors from HD or Lowes. You should be able to find a stud though. And as for how far away from the wall the hook center is it's about 5-8inches and is more of a bar than hook system that runs through the front tire.Very easy to setup and would highly recommend
