Mount TV on Drywall Using Only 2 Toggler Snaptoggle Bolts | Best Drywall Anchors

[@stuey2112]

Mounted my 46” tv with 2 lag bolts into stud and 2 toggles into drywall . Works great and tv is still on wall 😅. My studs were 24” apart for some reason and I had no other option than to use toggles . They worked.

[@AlexisDavis16]

I have been trying to figure this out for weeks for my workout room! I had a vision with no handyman skill. Thank you so much for your help! I'm feeling like a handy woman!

[@BryanBuilt]

Glad It helped! Thank you for watching

[@Fahizzo]

how did it go, did you get your tv mounted using a drywall anchor?

[@kaututang-dila2189]

The toggle screw is solid no doubt and will carry whatever weight it is rated for, the only problem I fear is in time the drywall will not hold and will slowly give in and crack. Its the drywall I fear that will not hold.

[@gurutrangsinghkhalsa3926]

I just did it too same tv mount same toggles but i used three. Worked like a charm for a 43" TV

[@ChrisMoran1]

Thanks for posting this. I've had a bag of these toggles for a few years and installed a 55" TV that happened to have a stud, so I only needed to use two of these on the other side, but was nervous about putting a tiny 43" (15 lb) up with a similar mount as yours in this video in JUST drywall. I guess drywall is stronger than I'd have expected.

[@SuperFredAZ]

When you have the bracket and hang the weight the pull gets multiplied by the leverage of the arm. I would not trust it in the long run.

[@alienwareproduction150]

How’s the TV holding up? Give us some updates.

[@bellaqueen913]

Thanks so much for this video! Was about to hang a tv yesterday and wondered if these actually worked. I'll pick some up today.

[@ernieRUOK]

I almost always just use wall anchors for traditional mounts, except for those types of mounts. Since there’s only two anchors and the weight is carried way differently I put those on a stud. Snap toggles are a superior anchor at least.

[@Gadgetmawombo]

I prefer to put a bridge board made of solid plywood between 2 studs and mount the TV to that. I don't doubt that these could hold the TV up tho but a bit more insurance you know?

[@BryanBuilt]

yeah for sure you can never be too carefull

[@medabee1322]

How do u do this?

[@Gadgetmawombo]

​@@medabee1322 What do you mean? Exactly like I said. You find the studs, I like to use a tiny nail and just nail holes over and over in horizontal pattern till I find the studs. You feel it because the nail wont just go thru. But it leaves a tiny hole so no issues you can just use a tiny bit of caulk to fill them in or just leave them. Once you find two studs side by side, you take a board longer than 24 inches and screws that board to the two studs. Studs will be 12 16 or 24 inches apart if your building was made right, so a 24 inch board or longer will cover your bases. Then you screw the TV mount to THAT board, plywood is really strong, almost as strong as REAL wood, and definitely stronger than using these anchors.

[@keanajohnson3222]

period. thank you!

[@jon553]

thank you for making this video sir! question - I see you only bolted the mount into the wall with the 2 snap toggle bolts. I suppose any instructions that came with the mount and all the screws/bolts that came with it were unnecessary since the mount is so strong with just those 2 snap toggle supported bolts? I just want to make sure I can throw out all these screws/bolts that came with the mount lol. thanks

[@BryanBuilt]

Yes i only used the two toggle bolts to attach the mount to the wall. Im not exatly sure about your mount model but i know usually they send alot of screws for the mount to be attached to the tv and also some screws or bolts for mounting the tv mount to the wall. I Did not use the provided mounting screws for the wall i just used the toggler toggle bolts

I haven't used on a tv that big The biggest I have used them for is a 50-inch. I would try to get at least one screw or anchor into a stud if possible but not 100% sure it will work since I have never tried it.

Need to hang my 75inch TV into drywall as there are metal studs and I’m not sure where the studs are, I got the exact same toggle bolts. Got 4 toggle bolts and a 4 drywall anchors. Would it be okay do you think?

[@BryanBuilt]

I cant say for sure brother. Always safer to try and anchor to the studs. I have used this on metal studs with a 60-inch tv for a job we installed. it is still up but we were able to find one of the studs on one side. we used a metal bit to drill the hole through it and ran the toggle bolt through it. I think anything over like 50 inches in a little sketched out unless i find a stud to anchor to.

No get a magnet find the studs!

[@JackMendoza-v8s]

I don't trust that snaptoggles. Every time you move-tilt or any movement of your TV will slowly create damages or loosen up the snaps especially putting a pressure when you move forward to the TV. Or maybe without any movement at all. Just stay on the wall only.

[@pdxmetal]

Toggle bolts are supposed to hold a lot of weight, but when they fail, they can fail catastrophically. Huge chunks of wall crashing to the ground with your tv. There is a reason studs have been a mainstay of heavy item installation.

[@BryanBuilt]

ill keep you guys updated if that happens. Thanks for watching

[@SensuousBanana]

Still going well? @@BryanBuilt

[@jaynonchalant9176]

Yes but the whole wall doesn't have studs and a lot of the times things are being hung where they are no studs available. I've hung a few displays using those toggle bolts and a couple of them weighed nearly 200lbs. these toggle bolts hold up very well I always hang from the mounts and do a couple pull ups as a test, I fluctuate at around 200 lbs.

[@pdxmetal]

@@jaynonchalant9176 There's a big difference between hanging on the wall for a few seconds and hanging 200lbs on the wall 24/7. Toggles are an alternative when theres no studs but most displays these days are fairly light. I wouldn't hang a heavy plasma or other 100+ display relying only on the strength of the gypsum if I could avoid it.

[@cautionthisissparta]

Yeah, I wouldn't trust this in drywall - the material is going to fail before the bolt. I'd only trust these in something like knotty pine or plywood.

[@BryanBuilt]

True. Im keeping an eye on it to make sure but so far no issues. Its a cool product with alot of uses

[@pdxmetal]

There are many instances where drywall has been weakened. If you're a renter and past tenants have all hung and patched on the same wall, if there was mold or water damage and the maintenance guy just came and threw some mud and paint on it... Throw a 100lb plasma on it without studs and watch half the wall come down. Never trust drywall alone for heavy stuff.

[@PC-xj2mw]

NO.. Do NOT use toggle bolts on drywall only. At least one (preferably more) of the bolts must be in a stud (use lag screws on wood studs or toggle bolts on metal studs).

[@Sigfredo15]

How about installing the same tv mount on a complete hollow wall ( no studs) can this be possible ( 32 inch new tv weight around 40 pounds), can this be possible?

Are there toggle bolts strong enough to hold 65 or 75 inch TV or is that too heavy? Using 4 Bolts per bracket?

[@BryanBuilt]

According to the box each one can hold 250lbs . I tested a single one in another video and the max it held was 175 and that was only for a few seconds. I would be cautious with a tv that size. The largest i have hung on just drywall is a 48 in

[@npip99]

I'd suggest one stud on one side, and then maybe 4 drywall toggle bolts on the other side. 2 top 2 bottom, kinda spaced out. Worked great for me on my 65 inch no give or play at all. I put 3 on top just in case actually, bc it's a lot of weight pulling on the top imo. Esp for 75 inch if you do only drywall I think you need at least 1 stud. Remember even if the TV is really solidly connected to the drywall, the entire drywall can come down if the weight in-between two studs is too high.

[@ReynaLuna]

Any idea why my anchors just won’t stay? 🥲 I literally tried sticking both and both times the bolts just won’t stay. Once I install the bolts it gets loose

[@BryanBuilt]

Honestly not sure I havent had this issue. How thick is the wall and your mount combined? Or Maybe overtightening and something is breaking on the bolt?

[@weaverdetails4747]

I just installed mine and the half inch in my opinion was just a little too big. I drilled a 3/8 and made it a little bit wider because it has enough clearance height wise and it worked like a charm.

[@BryanBuilt]

Nice! Glad to hear it worked for you

I don't trust that snaptoggles. Every time you move-tilt or any movement of your TV will slowly create damages or loosen up the snaps especially putting a pressure when you move forward to the TV. Or maybe without any movement at all. Just stay closer to the wall only.
