I did it...! Finally went to our local big box hardware store, bought the toggle bolts, and reassembled the plate mechanism, which was a little different than yours, but with a little jiggling got it seated and tightened everything up. Thanks for having taken the time to post this very helpful video!

If you don't hear the toggle bolt spring back inside the wall does that mean it is too small/short? It still worked in the end but not really secure to the wall. Thanks for your video and helping me get it back on the wall at least!
@AndrewDIY7 жыл бұрын
Usually you would hear it spring out. So it could just be wedged in the hole. I guess if it comes out again then maybe try longer toggle bolts.

@anesthezea9 жыл бұрын
If I patch a slightly larger hole first, could I reinstall the hardware in the same spot? Would it be best to use paint and patch or something heavier?
@AndrewDIY9 жыл бұрын
anesthezea Depending on the size of the hole you may want to patch the hole and either move the anchor into a new area of sheetrock, basically you want to avoid mounting it in a weak area. I don't have any sheet rock repair videos at the moment, but if it's a straight plaster patch, then I'd relocate the anchor instead of drilling a new hole through plaster. I hope that makes sense.

Well I moved in and bought this house, This was done by who ever and it was lose after awhile( I have a special needs child) so first I didnt know this was done and they still used both other screws so I couldn't tighten it plus its connected on the base by a strange size of hex screw. So I got it off , now I will need a Lil patch work . Yes the other side is done the same way. The bolt is lose but conncted by the same toggle screw. Ugh. Still have the problem of the allen screw 😠. Your idea is great but not if you cant adjust it. Thanx former owner.
