Any experience with mounting through just drywall? Home Depot offers wall anchors that hold over 200 pounds. How many screws are used to attach this?

I think there may be 4 screws to attach the vertical bracket. You can add more by drilling an extra hole. The toggle bolt style fasteners should work well in the sheet rock. This shelf is not designed to hold any thing very heavy.

I'm almost positive that there are 2 screws for mounting. The glass shelf itself can only hold approx. 22 lbs. Get the wall anchors that are the metal butterfly, they will hold a good amount of weight. They use them on the ceiling mounts for hanging plants. Hope this information helps.

My Quake Hold Picture Hook package (model 4338) states the following: Use 1 hook for hanging up to 50 lbs. And, Use 2 hooks for hanging up to 100 lbs. A package contains 4 hooks, 4 nails and 4 2-1/2" screws.... nails for lightweight items and screws for heavyweight items....presumably into studs. I am NOT an engineer but would assume that if you're anchoring into a stud (2'x4') - not just drywall - using 3 hooks with screws may hold your 130 lb mirror. Good luck.

I agree with the previous answers...you will need some hooks for your tools/equipment. I bought different sizes of hooks both online and at home depot. It comes with 6 long screws to put them on the wall (very easy to install). This is a great product and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to purchase it.

husband did the installation. i think there were 2 anchor screws. magnet is kind of heavy, very strong!, and sturdy. mounting on drywall possible if you attach to wood support behind drywall. i've been a renter-would not recommend unless you leave it behind for the next occupant. hope this helped.

Generally its best to attach to a beam or Stud. But since that's not always possible a good drywall anchor sized for the weight it will hold works just as well. This TV mount comes with bolts for studs and anchors for drywall. You would just need to provide the screws for the anchors.A 27" TV will work well with this mount. I put a 50" TV on mine and its fine.

We mounted into drywall. But I also used anchors rated for 60#. Works well.

I used a hammer and a screwdriver, and the included Allen wrench. I used the hammer to drive the screwdriver into the drywall to make a hole for the anchors, then the screwdriver to turn the screws into the anchors to hold on the wall bracket. You could also use a drill.). There is an Allen wrench that is included and that's what tightens the hook onto the wall bracket.

I would purchase different wall anchors if you need to anchor to driwall. I believe I was able to place at least a pair of the screws that came with these in a wall stud and I used much heavier duty anchors, purchased separately, for the others.

A stud is your best bet. But it may depend on what your wall is made of. Our drywall couldn't hold this, with anchors.

i drilled holes in the drywall then used dry wall anchors. Then just screwed in the screws to hold it to the wall. Does that answer your question?

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.

For that you'd want a lead anchor with a screw, and washers to secure it. You'd measure where the screws go. Then drill holes in the cement or brick. Place the wall mount up on the wall. Then screw in the lead anchors with the washers and it should hold up fine. I would think you'd want 2" lead anchors just because that'd hold the weight a little better. And if you talk to someone at Lowe's, home depot, or Ace, etc. They should know what you're looking for and be able to help you out. And get a friend to help you mount it. So one person can hold the wall mount while the other screws in the lead anchors.

It depends on the wall surface you are trying to mount it to. A wood wall or thick paneling will mount easy. Just use some 2-3" drywall screws and a power drill/screw driver. If you are attaching to sheetrock, you should use some butterfly or toggle bolts. It comes with plastic anchors, throw them in the trash as they are useless for supporting any weight other than the shelf.

You can install in drywall if you use better anchors than provided. get molly bolts or better toggle bolts. You can support 50lbs+ using good toggle bolts - you can get them from your local hardware store.

i had a similar situation. i found the largest drywall anchor i could find and used it on the non stud side. fortunately my tv is relatively light. if it were heavier, i would have made a custom mount for the wall bracket out of either scrap metal or thin lumber. so then you could span the 24" stud with the custom mount & attack the bracket assembly to it. it would take some work to make it look nice, so you might try the oversized drywall anchor first lolbtw I've had my 32" mounted with the drywall anchor for over a year now.

You don't necessarily need to find a stud, but I would not install them directly into the drywall. Whenever I install something that is going to have some wear and tear, or some pressure, I use EZ Lock Twist and Lock Hollow and Drywall Anchors. I get them at Home Depot. They're my favorite anchor. Kind of a pain when you're ready to remove them, but they have a lot of strength and can withstand some pulling and tugging.

I have this mount directly to drywall with very good anchors from home depot. DO NOT use the simple compression anchors. Get the WingIts World's Strongest Fastener. You wont regret it. I have a 32 inch tv and a cable box. Sorry, dont not use the second shelf.
