Does it have to be mounted on a stud?

As Jeff mentioned, it should be mounted on a vertical stud - mine is holding a 42" flat screen and works beautifully.

This coming from an engineer. "Don't even think about mounting it on drywall." Mount it to a stud. If the studs are not where you like then mount a plywood plate between two studs and hang your Habitat on the plate.

Yes. And in addition to a stud-finder, a pencil, and a #3 Phillips screwdriver, you'll want a metric ratchet set (10mm hex socket in particular, but you can probably get the whole set for the same price as just the one) to get the bolts flush. Once I figured all that out, installation was pretty straightforward.

The mount comes with two anchors. I hung a 32 with it not on studs. I would be very careful to make sure you get the drill bit size correct for the anchors. If the drill holes are too large you could have problems. I use this mount every day. I am very happy with it.

Yes! Mine is installed on a wall in my garage. Depending on where I am working, I just grab it and swing it left or right. Just make sure you attach the mount to a stud!

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

You don't need to mount it to a stud. Mounting the bracket to standard thickness sheetrock is fine as long as you use mollies. This allows a lot more flexibility in terms of where you can locate the board and I've been mounting my boards this way for 30 years. Mollies with 30-50 lbs capacity are fine (use one for each of the 2 screws). You might want to consider using a back board, though, particularly if you or anyone else likely to use the board is a beginner (protects your wall !!). Good luck.

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.

We had a professional come and mount ours. I believe he had to find a stud to mount it to.

Per the catalog listing, it comes with clyinder and two keys. No stud to mount is mentioned.

I asked my husband since he was the one mounting it and he said, "No." It is designed to be mounted.

You have to use a stud as the metal bars that hold this up and mount to the wall are heavy. Without it being mounted to a stud it would just fall out.

Yes, you have to mount it on stud, concret, or brick wall. It is totally unsafe if you mount it on hollow drywall. An electronic stud-finder for around $20 will help you to get a safe work done, and will prevent your TV from fall-and-break.

No it has to be mounted with screws. I think it would take pretty strong magnets to do that as the bar w/ utensils are heavy.

I don't have mine mounted on a stud but the 'molly' screws that came with it hold it just fine. However, you would have to mount it on the wall above or beyond where the door slides, as it wouldn't be able to slide past the back of the screws. You didn't say you want to mount it on the actual door and I wouldn't, because pocket doors are wiggly so it might be difficult to keep the mirror stable.

Yes. You will need a couple bolts to mount depending upon your application.

It would be very heavy to mount on a wall. You would need to be sure you have a stud to mount into.

I believe so, but you would have to drill small holes through the plastic to attach it to a stud.

It would probably be best if you did mount it on the stud. It's pretty heavy all by itself, and we have heavy components on it, so that's what we did. If you don't I'd suggest anchors for sure.

Yes - but only if you put it on a shelf. There are no mounting holes, etc., on the unit itself.
