my one bottom lag bolt broke in the wall. will 3 bolts still support a 120 lb tv?
1064989
My guess is yes. As long as the other three are secure in studs. And as long as they are sturdy screws, not wimpy (short and thin). Consider adding a fourth screw next to the one that broke, this time drilling a pilot hole with a bit just barely smaller than the screw diameter. Also, test it by putting some similar weight on it. But a final question for you: where on earth did you find a 120 lb flat screen TV? Most flat screens max out at 40 or 50 lbs.

I think I would try drilling another hole in mounting plate. Three lag screws would probably hold, if your TV isn't to heavy

The mount itself is not heavy. I'd guess maybe 20 pounds. The TV is the heavy object. The specs say it supports up to 66 lbs of TV, so obviously do not exceed that limit. As far as the stud -- this is a ceiling mount fixture, so I'm going to assume you meant the ceiling joist. I mounted mine w/ 50 inch TV in the corner of the room to the joist using the lag bolt hardware provide and it is rock solid. I could probably do a chin-up on it. I cant image any normal situation where the ceiling would fail before the mount itself, but obviously doing anything like this yourself assumes some risk on your part. The mount itself is not heavy.

You bought a 60" television. The bracket supports up to a 55" TV; I wouldn't trust it even if the hole pattern was within the limits.

I got this wall mount and I hanged an 80" flat tv. It is holding very good but you will need to find the stud in the wall and use the big screws into the stud. The drywall will not support it by itself.

From the description on this item: Maximum weight capacity: 220lbs. As long as you properly attach this mount to support beams in your wall, you should be all good. This thing is a tank dude. I rock my 52" Samsung purchased in 2007 and that tv has a fat ass. This mount doesn't flinch. Swings around with ease. Only issue is if you're not careful, you can nick out the drywall when you're swinging the tv to the left or right. Just be aware of where the mount is in relation to the wall...since its behind the tv and out of sight.

You need 1/4" lag bolts 2" long to properly mount your tv mount. You want at least 1" - 1 1/4" into the wood stud. Do that and your tv will never come down.

Sorry forgot to state that it will hold up to 100lbs. So, yes your TV will work on them.

The TV is VESA compliant so I very much suspect you will not have an issue. Mine is flush to the wall with a pretty standard thin bracket.

My mount was cheap all around. I tried hanging a 70" sharp over fireplace and as soon as I put it on mount, they bent allowing tv to sag. Learned the hard way not to skimp on the mount.

My 60 inch LG Plasma weighs 105 lbs, as long as you have lag bolts drilled into the studs it will hold any T.V, I drilled holes in the studs smaller then the screw portion of the lag bolts so the lag bolts wouldn't split the studs in the walls to keep the integrity of the stud.

Depends on the weight of your TV, and if the TV is VESA compliant (has screw holes in the back for the mount to attach). Keep in mind another limiting factor: the wall you are mounting to. The mount might hold the TV, but will the wall hold the weighed-down mount on a single stud? Some other mounts have wider bases which spreads the weight out among a wider area (and across multiple wall studs). This one loads it all up on a single point. I had to attach my mount to a board, then bolt the board to the wall across three studs to assure stability.

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.

Ed, I am 99% sure it won't go over three studs. FYI, I have steel studs and did not secure it to any studs. I used "Toogler" brand toggle bolts to secure it to the wall sold at Lowes. (Google Toggler) I have an older 55" Viszio TV (31 lbs ) attached for nearly 4 years and it is snug as a bug. I used Sanus's interactive installation guide to determine the height and I was able to install it exactly where I wanted it - no guessing. Good Luck!

hello i do not know what you have for a wall but i can tell you i had the same problem i did not have any studs to work with but here is what i did.i used several large plastic anchors about6 anchors you can drill into sheet rock or plaster wall.using just 1 stud probably you will not do it i had a 40 inch tv.if u usereally big plastic anchors it will carry a good bit of wheight.and do so safely. believe me it wont fall down as the tvs are not really heavy.i would not use 1 stud as the tv may tilt or come loose.if you can locate at least 2 studs it will be ok.plastic anchors will carry a great deal of weight but use thebigest ones you can buy. what i am trying to tell you forget the studs and go into a flat surface on your wall. it will work have no fear of it falling. hope this helps you tony.

This setup will mount to wall or ceiling studs with lag-bolts, I would suggest using rubber grommets in-between the mount and wall surface for vibrations... good luck...

The 47" Philips I bought this mount for weighs around 100 pounds - that's no problem. The mount is rated for 165. As long as you hit both studs on center and snug all four lags up I don't see how you could have an issue with sagging.

What TV weighs 175lbs? Wow. I hung an old Philips that probably weighed that much with this mount. Just use decently sized lag bolts straight into the studs and it should work fine.
