Does this have to be mounted in a stud or could we use it directly into the wall with mollies or anchors?

Very definitely mount in a stud.. consider the length of the arm and what is on the end :) good luck

I wouldn't trust anchors thru sheet rock for mounting a flat screen to any swing out arms. Stud mount is the only way to go.

given the weight of most computer monitors, I would probably be up for at least using toggle bolts.but instead would not be necessary.

That decision would be made based on the weight of the TV. If its a small TV, the toggles would probably work. (do NOT use mollies).Mine is mounted to the stud even though it is just a 24" HDTV. Mounting to the stud is a far superior method.

I wouldn't. It depends on the strength of your wallboard and the weight of your TV. Also if there is any possibility that someone (a child, or a handicapped/elderly person) or animal is going to grab and pull down on the bracket. Extended you get a moment are of about 10 inches, then you could turn the screen and add another 8 to 10 inches. That is probably enough to rip the anchors out of the wallboard without too much force.

You can do both. It will set on the floor and has the key like attachments if you want to secure it to a wall. I suggest if you are going to mount it to a wall find moly "fixtures" and layer them in multiple units. If you do find a stud, anchor that on that side. Use moly bolts/fasteners if your 2x4/ are not where they should be.:)

It can be used either way: on stud in new construction or via rework & drywall installation. I've got mine mounted via the included drywall brackets & it's perfect.

There is no "mounting" hardware with this item. You could throw it over a beam in the garage or over a solid-closing door, but it is not designed to mount to a side wall although I suppose you could rig something up. It would have to be a pretty sturdy anchor and the wall stud, I believe, would require additional anchoring as well since the pressure applied to that anchor would be quite great. IMO, I wouldn't try to install it on a wall stud.

I mounted mine to drywall using a 100lb wall anchor. Bit of overkill but never have to worry about something going wrong. A stud would work perfect as well. The rubber feet work great to make a nice secure and sturdy base against the wall.

We put it in Sheetrock walls however we located studs in the wall to be sure it would stay. I think it depends on how much weight you anticipate putting on the hanger system.

You could mount it in a wall. You would just have to cut a hole in your wall and possibly brace up the studs depending on which size you get. It is a front & back plate that screw together onto each side of the door/wall. The only problem that I have with this unit is that the 4 D-Cell batteries have to be replaced about every month give or take a week.

We had to mount ours Into only one stuf because our house is so old. It doesn't seem to be an issue, I suggest at least one stud though. My husband put it up in about a Half hour

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.

It must be mounted not only to a wall but to studs in the wall so I would recommend purchasing a stud Finder with this item.

Just find a stud and screw it in. No anchors or bolts needed. It comes with screw hooks that seem rather sturdy

Might need wall anchors if you don't have a stud to hang it on. Otherwise the screws come with it.

It's pretty heavy; I'm guessing 30-40 lbs, so it would take a lot to hold it up into the wall studs. Someone would have to drill through the back to mount it, as there's nothing on the back already existing for that.

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.

I mounted mine on a hallow dry wall. If i remember correctly it comes with several types of anchors for different types of walls.

Ok so theoretically you can mount this on a brick wall, you will need to use different screws as the ones supplied are for wooden studs. I myself have mine mounted on a stud less wall and had to use anchors to hold. I would buy the bracket and consult Lowes or Home Depot about how best to secure it into brick.

You can use the screw/hooks into a stud, these come with the rack. If installing to dry wall you will need toggle bolts not supplied.
