Are you looking to mount your TV to a hollow plasterboard wall but don't have studs available for support? In this comprehensive step-by-step guide, we'll show you how to securely mount your TV without using studs, making the installation safe and hassle-free.
To make the job easier, we'll go through all the equipment you'll need to ensure a successful installation. Grab your 20V hammer drill/driver, spirit level, screwdriver, 3-in-1 metal, voltage & stud detector, claw hammer, tape measure, and a flat drill bit. These tools will help you locate the optimal position, secure the fixings, and achieve a professional result.
Throughout the video, we'll explain the importance of applying the correct pressure to the plasterboard when using the flat drill bit. This will prevent any damage and ensure a secure mounting point for your TV.

No, No. No. No. No. Do NOT do this. Do NOT mount a TV with any wall anchors. I did this once for a customer, and the TV pulled out of the wall and fell as I was walking out of their front door. I ended up buying them a new TV, so the job that was supposed to pay me money ended up COSTING me a WHOLE LOT more than I would have made. ALWAYS find studs.

[@kaszapnagypeter]

How can I find the studs?

[@MikeJames.]

Looks like you did a bad job then

[@taylerrichards7333]

Same, did this to mount a 65" used 8 mounts to the plasterboard, after trying to pull the tv out to adjust the angle of the bracket I was lucky enough to catch it when the fixings pulled through. In the end I drew round the bracket on the plasterboard then used a multi tool to cut it out. Then attached the bracket straight to the brick wall with anchor bolts, If I wanted to be fussy, could have painted the brick and filled the gap left between the wall and plasterboard but it isn't seen anyway and the tv fits now fits completely flush to wall

[@scottwelsch4139]

@@MikeJames. Ahhhhh....you're one of those.

[@MikeJames.]

@@scottwelsch4139 well well mr welsch I’ve been expecting you

[@范蕉]

how do you know the thickness of the wall? what if the fixing is too thin that it couldn't extend it's "wings" at the back of the wall?

[@Paul_Templer]

The middle " pops out" automatically to correct wall thickness. The anchors are called gripits.

[@mronemanband1]

you can put a square piece of plywood in the back or the front use about 10 screws then paint then mount the tv mount & the tv will never fall

[@DeeTeaDee]

Ahh man My partition divider wall Can I hang a 77” tv on to the stud or not?? 23kgs (50lbs) the tv is How do I know the stud is good? Or whatever?? How do we know ANYTHING???

[@abdeldu133]

Is your wall concrete, brick, plaster or dry wall? Short answer is yes for brick and concrete Maybe for dry wall (if done properly) Plaster I wouldn’t risk

[@lolamonx602]

There's a limit to this- I wouldnt hang higher then 32" led on plasterboard with at least 4 fixings and a bracket. Any higher and too heavy for the board.

[@michellekemp3104]

Nope we just bought these and they started to pull out of the wall as soon as we tried to release the weight of the TV!!

[@chromerims]

Bullfix v Geefix Plasterboard fixings Ultimate handyman did a video of a shelve using four fixings for Geefix. He then did the exact same test using Bullfix Extra plasterboard fixings. Bullfix plasterboard beat Geefix by around 18 kg in a real application yet are much smaller, easier to install and less than half the price . So Bullfix plasterboard fixings are the strongest plasterboard fixing on the market in real life applications. Bullfix Extra Plasterboard Fixings =143kg kzbin.info/www/bejne/nma4onyirJtkjNk Geefix Plasterboard fixings =125kg kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHLcpoiFn9t-maM Bullfix Plasterboard Fixings are the ultimate plasterboard fixing for strength, speed of use and are the world's strongest plasterboard fixing.

[@blutongue1]

I Don't recoment this, the studs are the most solid and strongest part of a non brick/concrete wall. As my grandpa always use to say, no stud, you're out o'luck

[@mronemanband1]

its only 50 lbs for a 60 inch tv it will work fine !

[@RH-nk7eo]

As long as it's a static flush mount (i..e not being pulled out / rotated) then it should be fine for most TVs.

[@neliotuga]

What if you don't have wood studs and have aluminium studs like we use in Europe in renovations? Drywall can hold up to 50/60kg. It all comes to how those 50/60kg are distributed. A single hole holds 12kg and holes should be 40cm away from each other. Obviously mounting to wood studs or brick is always the best way but like this video says , sometimes you don't have that option.

[@angelcarmona4540]

Thats not plaster, sir. And DEFINITELY DO NOT hang yoir tv, with anchors. ALWAYS hit those studs!!!!!

[@BestUserNameUK]

Do NOT do this!

[@Ronaldograxa]

This is the craziest thing I have ever seen .. DONT DO THIS!
