I have an LG 60PB5600 (60" plasma 72 lbs). I purchased a Video Secu MW390B mount. You say to not use Toggle bolts on 55" + TV's on arm mounts. I'm curious why. The studs in my building are metal and hollow so I think using toggle bolts is my only option. Please let me know if you have any advice.

[@cq67]

Where did you purchase the thing to hide wires?

[@ob707]

Bro! I followed your instructions to the "T" and had NO problems! I had never mounted a television myself and was afraid of it falling. It is pretty heavy 47" older modeled flatscreen, but I have no worries about it being secured, thanks to your advice. Thanks again! I get plenty of compliments on it and pretty much feel like a badass! Thanks again!

I’ve got a tv that I’ve been wanting to hang, but haven’t for multiple reason (self confidence is one). Mother in law also wants one hung, and videos like yours are giving me confidence to do it. You explain it well, put caption notes for a little more explanation, give good instruction/demos, and link to stuff you use. I’m gonna watch a few of your videos and see what I can do to be a better DIYer.

I have tried multiple electronic stud finders but they have given me a hard time. The magnetic one seems to be more reliable. Thank for taking the time to make this video.

[@ohmercy5924]

Very informative. Thanks for the info. I’ve used toggle bolts before but never heard of snap toggles. They look like they are much easier than trying to jam big toggles through a hole while hanging onto the screw and the item being hung- wall standards for shelving and closet brackets. Very tricky for a 70 year old woman to manage- but manage I did. Of course the bolts were so long I went through the closet wall into the bathroom. LOL! So had to cut all the bolts down with a Drexel cut off wheel... but I digress... I want to hang a 44 inch tv on a plaster wall with metal studs, if I can find one. The mount is one that has an arm that extends from wall to tilt left or right. I’ve been worried about how to do it and not sure if the 4 snap toggles will be enough. Maybe there are more holes- not sure. Someone told me I should also mount a small piece of wood below the bracket to kind of brace or take some of the weight. Anyway. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks again!

[@xraydelta100]

Thanks for the video.....I just accidentally found your hanging bracket video, a day after buying a 40 inch tv to hang. Well done, clearly filmed. I've been a subscriber for around six months.

I like the way you broke it down so simple and describe what drill bit and socket bit you may need prior to standard size. I work at Home Depot and I always can tell when it DIYers are working on a TV mounting project. Thanks for insight and using your weight to make sure it was drilled into the wall right otherwise this coulda turned into a blooper video.

[@JulioArreaga]

Yo dude, your video was very helpful. Although it seems relatively simple to do this, it was nice to have a bit of guidance so thanks! I ended up using the toggle bolts for all 4 anchor points because the wood screw sheared off when I started driving it into the stud. But it all worked out fine (so far lol).

[@MrVeeBlog]

I'm goin' in. Thanks for the videos and for taking the mystery out of the installation. I think I want to use the togglebolts on my studs as well as the dry wall if it turns out I don't have 16 inches between studs. I got one of those Profinder 5000 stud finders. Cost more than I need but eh, I'm a geek for electronics like that. Thanks dude.

[@RedSkwirrell]

I just mounted a TV on the wall and was feeling pretty proud of myself. Was just taking a break before starting to connect all the cables and found your tip on spacing. I was focussing on getting it as close to the wall as I could and hadn't thought of that. Brilliant suggestion, thanks. Will take it back down and use longer screws and spacers to give the cables that bit of extra room.(Only take a couple of moments) { 8-]

[@manuelvalladares8088]

You my friend is the man. You deserve a nice cold beer! 🍺... thanks for the most informative video in how to this .

[@paulboomer4794]

Why did you put on the screen "don't use snap toggle bolt with 55 inch or bigger arm mount?

[@darkstar189]

Toggle bolts hold the most weight with all the weight closest to the wall. An arm mount allows you to pull the tv away from the wall which puts the weight farther out. Too much leverage on the toggle bolts allowing them to fail and tv could come crashing down.

[@timmitchell4633]

Always great videos brother, clear & concise, and just what you need. Thank you sir.

[@tjaniga]

LOVE it! Now I gotta get a magnetic stud finder!

[@seanbassam2148]

That stud finder will never going to tell you where is the center of the stud, that's where you need to install the screw and also never is going to show you where the stud is located on the place where you are going to install the screws it will show you where are the drywall screws and the can be located far away from where you are going to install the bracket screws.

Such a useful video I live in the UK and since I have mobility issues had to ask around for a professional to come hang my TV onto a stud wall. The cheapest quote I got from 5 different tradesmen was £90 ranging upto £120 I’m not sure if I’m just being tight but I refuse to pay that much money to complete what seems like a very quick and simple job. So thank you so much for sharing this video I really hope I can get the job done.🤞

[@Robman7]

I've been reading through the comments and I cant believe everyone is cool with trusting toggle bolts to hold their TV on the wall. If the studs are too far apart why not fasten a 24" 1x4 between the studs and then fasten the wall mount to the 1x4. That seems more secure to me, plus it gives you that little extra space needed for the cables in the back without using spacers.

[@bengrambs8346]

Robman7 funny, I was thinking the same thing.

[@jc2367]

me too. about to hang my 65 and of course the studs are off center. So i have been looking into 1x4's or plywood.

[@hyperuben]

Use a piece of 3/4 Plywood 5 1/2" x 36" plywood is stronger than most 1 x lumber. Your welcome.

[@VinceM797]

He's got two bolts going into the studs and two snap toggle bolts on the other side rated at 75lb per bolt. Just the two on the stud would probably hold a 100lb tv. So the other two will help and its not just drywall holding it up. Wood is a great idea and probably better but both would work just fine.

[@Cris01121]

1 inch thick lumber seems lacking as well considering these mounts are meant to go much deeper into studs. 2 sheets of 3/4 plywood would probably be good. If you can't hit 2 studs it might be worth the time to tear down drywall and add some extra support. Or do 1 stud in the center with toggles on the sides.

[@Vitaliuz]

Much obliged. Short, informative and straightforward video, with nice commentary. Haven't searched for it (god bless YT recommendations), but decided to watch it - because you never know when you might need the extra knowledge. =)

[@seandmai]

Could I have your input on how to mount my TV? I have a 37" LCD TV that weighs 40lbs I want to mount using a full motion TV mount that weighs 25lbs with a weight load of 150lbs. Its sockets are designed for studs from 15-21" but I have 12" centres on my studs meaning it would be 12 or 24. Would you recommend using the snap toggle bolt method in this video? Should I drill a wood plate into the 3 studs and mount my TV into that or is there a better option? Thanks

[@dwsnares]

[@funny-video-YouTube-channel]

Good technology in general. The fear is that the drywall will bend forward over time. I think those walls are not supposed to have any serious load on them.

[@TampaTec]

epSos.de I had TVs mounted using toggle bolts for years but I would Not mount a heavier plasma tv or big tv on arm mount which adds more stress to wall. however if you have a chance to tag a stud that's the best bet.

[@ryanDogAdventure]

When I did one I just put a 1x4 across the studs since you won't see it being behind the TV.

[@DONNELLBRUNSON]

I've seen people just use 'regular' anchors without going into any studs with disastrous results. Please remember that each toggle bolt used here holds 75 pounds (a total of 150 lb load capacity by using 2) and there are screws into the studs....but the TV only weighs 25 pounds. That TV will hang there for it's lifetime without failing, falling or shifting. Tampatec is correct about tightened the fasteners slowly and evenly to achieve their rated performance, and we should also check level throughout the process.

[@hassanj.anderson3307]

DONNELL B. they have toggle bolts that go up almost 300lbs.
