We do not have wooden studs in the wall that we want to mount. There are metal studs. Can we use this mount still?

Hi Marissa, The mount is meant to be installed into wood studs, or in a concrete/brick application. As those are the only approved mount applications listed in the product manual, any other mounting application would need to be done by a certified TV installer. Also, please note that if the product is mounted in any application not listed in the product manual, the warranty is voided, and Value Max is released from all liability from mount failure or damage. Thank you, Value Max

I mounted mine to a stud. But I have a larger tv. It would depend on how much your tv weighs.if possible I would take the safe route.

Yes, but you are not going to have as secure of a mount on the stud. The mounting holes are oriented vertically but there are 2 rows. In the vertical position you get 3 large holes for the large screws, in the horizontal position you would only have 2 holes unless you modified it.

You could, but doubt you would want to. At best you would have to remove/replace one screw on each side - while leaving the wall mounts in place.

We mounted it a single stud, and it works good for our 32" LCD TV. So, i think you could.

Yes its best to mount it on studs so it wont become loose and fall off! This set is heavy itself!

to the best of my knowledge there is no way to hang it on a wall. We don't need that application so I can't say for sure we may have thrown bracket out but it honestly does not look like there is any way to attach it to anything

I would not recommend that. It's a lot of downward pressure and will likely rip out of the wall like that. It's not hard to find a stud

We hung ours on the wall as pictured, do not think it can be hing any other way and be used. My husband put anchors in the wall to be sure it was secure and he wouldn't need to find the studs in our plastered walls, there are also cement anchors available.

You can do that but it wil be more forward from the wall. Since I used mine on a smaller TV in the bedroom I found the studs to be farther apart then what the support holes on the bracket allowed. I placed two 1"x2" wood studs across longer than TV bracket. I secured them to the studs and was able to move the bracket more to the left or right. Support for weight was still there since the wood was secured to the studs. You can't really see the wood since its 1" and the TV covers it. Hope this helps

No, you would have to screw through the vertical pieces of wood. I removed the 2 prop pieces that you see in the photo and screwed them across the back at the top and the bottom. That gave it enough width, 16", so that I could screw it to the wall where the studs were and I didn't have to use wall anchors. More stable that way.

I ended up returning these mounts because without reinforcing with wood before attaching to wall I was told not safe enough to hold the weight . I'm sure it depends if you are going into a stud could be different.

yes you can just mount it with anchors, but depends on the house you live in and how heavy your equipment is :) You can also find a stud or mount it onto a board too :)

Yes you can. I was able to mount it in a stud without any problems. The TV I hung is a 32" that is 24-26 lbs I believe.

It takes two screws to mount. If your're not going into a stud it would be good to use moly's with the screws. I honestly can't remember if they came with it but I'm inclined to say it didn't.

As long as you mount it into a wood stud yes. The plastic used in the mount itself is not the cheap soft brittle type that tends to break apart easily.

Yes you can with brackets made from bose which are good for mounting on the wall or in your sealing. Locating the stud would be ideal.
