How long is the back plate that mounts to the wall? I plan to hang my tv over a fireplace (not using) and the studs are off centered.

I installed this at my sons house, so I don't have the mount here to measure. But, as I remember it's at least 24 inches (maybe a little more) - enough to mount on studs that are 16", 18" or 24" apart.

I don't know how long the backplate is. The specifications are on the description. I do know however that it is very sturdy. I used concrete anchors to place this mount over my fireplace. The holes in it were definitely off-center and I was unable to hit studs on both sides. But the concrete anchors are very strong. I hung a 55" tv on it. I was also able to pull down on it very hard.

The TV slides back and forth on the mount. It doesnt have to be centered on the wall mount. Mount it in studs and then slide it to center it. The four lag bolts can more than handle the unbalanced load.

You most definitely need to screw this item into the wall studs. In my case I added a board and screwed it into two wall studs to create an area where I could center and screw the Samsung wall hanger. Do not use sheetrock anchors to suspend your TV!!!!!

The mount is great. It pulls out to 26.5 inches. When you drill your holes in the wall, just make sure you use a level to make sure you are horizontal. When you attach the TV to the mount, you can move it horizontal along the mount to make sure it is level. If you have the TV to far to the left or the right it will be off center. You will like the mount. It is very flexible.

It's about 2-1/2 to 3 inches for the metal plates. When you mount the two uprights to the TV depending on the model of TV it could extend a little more. It's a great mount. Worth the money.

Joan, this mount is 45" wide, and the mounting brackets can accommodate 16" studs, or 24", or irregularly spaced studs up to 42." The holes on the back of the TV can be no further apart than the span of the mount (40" or closer would be safe), and no further from top to bottom than the length of the vertical brackets (and I don't know those dimensions, but they are usually easily spanned by the vertical brackets). I used one above a custom built fireplace where the studs were 41." It worked great.

The sides of the brackets don't need to be exactly centered. Mine is offset by about 8 inches and it is fine - it just may affect the range of motion of the bracket once installed. I picked this bracket specifically because I had a corner with very little wall on one side and I needed an offset solution.

Greg i don't recall specifically how wide the mount is but our studs are 16 inch centers as well, so while the bracket itself isn't really centered on the wall the TV is. there is a lot of give when you actually hang the TV you can move it left and right on the wall mount to center the TV not necessarily the actual mount. just took a little measuring to make sure i had more room on the side i needed to slide the TV to for it to be centered. seems to be solid as a rock mounted in the studs.

this tv mount is very long and where i wanted my tv on the wall was just off of a stud. So i put the tv mount on the stud but lengthend the wall mount so the tv is exactly where i wanted and no one was the wiser

Hi our fireplace guy attached a 2x4 to the vertical framing studs in the wall behind the sheetrock--he then attached the mantel to the 2x4 with the brackets that came with the mantel.--- it has not given us any issues and is very sturdy

16 inches on center. Mine is not mounted into studs, though. I opted to buy a kit of heavy duty drywall anchors and toggle bolts to mount it. Mine is centered on a fairly narrow strip of wall between my back door and the bay alcove in my breakfast area.

The mount lines up with 12 or 16" spaced studs. Mine were 24" apart so I had to improvise a bit.

The back of the TV is about 1" from the wall. It is an excellent system and we have had no trouble with it at all. We have a large TV (70") and mounted to studs (absolutely necessary).

I was able to mount on 16" studs. There isn't much room after you hang tv so be sure to have all plug ins before attaching.

The distance from the wall to the front of the TV mount is about 4 inches. Add the thickness of your TV and you have your answer. This unit is quite heavy and is screwed into the wall studs using lag bolts. Have complete faith in it holding the TV. No problems with it so far.

we hung ours on 16" center studs. the hanging bar has room for variation but I don't know exact measurements the hanging bar that's attached to the wall is almost as long as the desk itself.
