Can this be used in an apartment? I've never set one of in an apartment before so I'm not sure if it's possible? :/ Guessing I just need a stud-finder

Yes you do not need a stud finder either. Just make sure its tight from the ceiling to the floor. Not holes in ceiling needed.

I live in an apartment, too, and I did not use a drill to mount the board. I hammered in two picture hanging nails. I just made sure I chose nails that could support the weight of the board and measured out where to put them. I use my board regularly and have had no problems with this set up.

I mounted it directly into studs on a dry wall. Without knowing the weight of your quilt, I would think that you could still mount on a apartment door if you used anchors?

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

you could. I didnt. I screwed it into the studs on one side and had it resting on a horizontal stud on the bottom and secured it there too. Then used a Long sheet metal screw and washer to hit the opposite side. really if someone wants to pull it out of the wall -they can.. especially drywall. Its more to hide your things I believe. hope this helps.

i would think it would be okay as long as you secure it and make completely sure you have a stud. as long as nobody is careless and jerks it around i think it would be okay.

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.:)

Geez, the distance wouldn't be a problem so I guess it would depend on what you'd want to use for anchors and hardware. I'm not overly familiar with metal studs. If you're confident you have a good solid hardware that would fit the bill I'd say it'd be no problem. Is it in an exposed application or covered in drywall?

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

I have used my Zircon i520 Stud Finder on a few projects and it is the absolute best stud finder that I have ever owned. From experience with my device, it will in deed find studs behind plaster walls. In addition it will also find studs that are located in and around close proximity to electrical wiring and provide an audible warning when it senses that there is electrical wiring in close proximity to where you are searching for the studs. The beauty of this device is that it has specific settings on the front of the finder for normal depth, deep scanning, metal studs and a setting for detecting and finding electrical wiring. Hope this helps answer your question

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.

I mounted mine in my garage without any problems. I noticed the width of the bracket also, so I just put a slight angle on my screws as mounted the bracket. Both screws hit the "meat" of the stud. I also used a magnetic stud finder to find my stud, drew a small line at the center of the stud, then centered the bracket on that line and screwed it in.

You'd need a stud finder and drill into the studs. This is actually great because you can get a really sturdy hold on the desk. That said, you'd need a stud-finder and drill as well as the right kinda screws.

I have mine mounted to a finished ceiling. When installing you will just need a stud finder to make sure you line up the bracket with a ceiling joist.

My studs did not line up well either since I mounted mine in corner of garage. I did not use drywall anchors though; I build a frame using 1x6's which I think worked very well. It is super sturdy, and I wasn't worried about seeing the wood mounted on the wall since it was the garage. I have pictures of how I did it, so if you want to see them, just let me know. My email is jshook12@yahoo.com Good luck!

Yes sort of. It can be mounted using only one stud. Becasue of where I wanted to put it on the wall it would not be centered with two studs. It gives you an option to mount with just one stud. Check the Omnimont website for directions. It was in the directions.

I never tried but that's a good idea. I just checked it and perhaps you could drill a hole is the back and attach it on a stud in the wall or mount small brackets on the wall for it to set on.
