Can this unit be installed between the studs of a home built on 16 inch centers? The specs say the cabinet is 16 inch. Is it a true 16 inch?

I measured mine and it's shy sixteen. If framing is accurate you should be ok. Great idea.

I measured very carefully and it doesn't fit behind any door in any home I own.

Placing your studs 16" on center will allow you to much more easily attach the plywood later. It is also the only way to fully support the plywood, which is critical. I learned how to properly frame 16" on center from this guy... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VwXv3x_5k8

He mounted it between 16" on center studs. It fits in a standard wall cavity, he took thin moulding, stained it to match cabinent and covered up the edges of the hole. Really looks nice.

Apropos of my previous answer....the screws are indeed 16" apart. However, husband still thinks he didn't use two studs to hang it. Frankly, I think the old buzzard is losing his mind.

The last screw holes are 16 and a half inches apart. It fits between the normal studs. It is a very nice mount we really like it.

Short answer if I remember correctly - no. If I remember correctly, when I got it, the instructions say something along the lines of "must attached to at least 2 studs 16 inches apart, but has 3 sets of holes. If I remember correctly the whole backplate was not much wider than 16" so one set of the screws would have gone straight into the drywall. I wasn't about to do that, so there was a third (smaller) hole on the other sets so I just put 3 screws into 2 studs that were 16" apart. Hopefully that makes sense and answers your question. Sorry for the long answer.

Yes, it will mount to studs 16 inch on center. one side has counter sink holes and the other side has short slotted holes.I spent a lot of time at first to make sure I knew the location of the stud before drilling. I use this every day putting up and down. This will last a very long time. Built with quality.

Dennis,This piece is remarkable, and yes the "16 foot studs " was a misprint. It will work on 16"studs. I use this in my RV holding a 32" Toshiba, and as you can imagine when we are moving from one spot to the other the vibrations are immense. This mount holds the TV securely, has not loosened or shown any signs of breakage. I am totally satisfied and highly recommend this product.Tony

Yes. Meant to fit between studs in the wall which are 16 inches on center... Ceiling joists are typically the same. I have mounted many of these for multiple projects in both the ceiling and wall.

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.

The unit itself measures 16" wide without the side panels. I guess you would have to skip the install kit since you have barely 1/2" on each side. Perhaps you can put some type of insulation to fill the gap.

16 inches from one hole to the other as most houses studs are in the walls 16 inch on center.

Chelsea,This will definitely fit into a 16 on center wall. I was able to install this in my garage in between two 2x4's which were 16 " apart (on center).Hope it helps.Mychal

The first hole is 6 inches from the center, and the total length is 25 1/2 inches. It will fit between two studs whether they are 16 or 24 inch centers.

No, it is designed to go into the wall between studs with a minimum of 14" wide space (studs on standard 16" on center spacing = 14 1/2 " wide space).

It fits nicely between the studs. The 18.5 measurement is the front face of the cabinet, it rides over the sheetrock to make it less able to be pried out of place. The actual cabinet measures the same as the space bet. The studs that are 16" on center. We are very happy with the quality and design of the safe.

The bottom of the support brackets (or the top as shown in the picture) have slotted holes where you could screw it directly to a wall without the track. But there are no holes right at the shelf so you will have to drill holes there, especially if the shelf is mounted with the brackets providing support from the bottom and not the top as shown. The shelf is 45 inches long, so that's not going to work with the typical 16" stud spacing. I'd buy the track...
