Which TV Screws Should I Use? | Kanto Explains

[@Andre-kj3qs]

This cleared up so much, and made me relax my shoulders. Wasn't sure how to interpret the manual and was unsure about the lenght of the screws.

[@zedricklamar]

Wasn't sure if spacers HAD to be between my TV & mount but this helps a lot. Thank you for the clarity! :D

I just got a 75 inch tv and the screws I had were too long and I didn’t think of buying spacers. I ordered a box of m8s because because that’s what google said would be the right size for my large tv, meanwhile they don’t fit 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ and idek what size the bolts are but I may just order spacers now and return these bolts

[@rotfan77]

I have the right diameter screw, but unsure what length I would need how many complete turns of a screw is recommended to be enough to hold 100 pound TV. My TV has m8 screws I put a black line on the screw to determine complete turns, it first hits was able to only get about two complete turns with the stand even though the M8 is pretty thick two turns seemed like not very much to support 100 pound TV? Should I go with the next longer screw and use spacers to get three or four turns at least? I was hoping that you mentioned the minimum number of recommended revolutions for mounting screws. Thanks

What size screw for tv Samsung 55inch please ?

[@hchernandez03]

I have the same question

[@yosemitesam9322]

I have an LG oled 46’ that I mounted to PERLESMITH Mobile TV Stand for 23-60 Inch. The bolts provided were 6m with I believe a 16mm and 30mm length. The 30 was too long but I’m nervous about the 16 length not being long enough to support the tv. It’s been mounted for a week now and I’m afraid I’ll come home to find the tv on the floor. I called LG and they couldn’t tell me what size to use. The set up instructions only stated to use the M6 bolt but didn’t say anything about the length. I’m thinking I should go get an M6 20mm for peace of mind but if it’s not necessary, I’d rather not. Help 🙏

How is it now? I have similar issue 😅 screw is not deep enough. Couldn’t find a perfect length

[@joeblackwood6384]

@@charlesmontojo3960 - Use a toothpick to measure the depth of the hole. Mark the toothpick where it is even with the plastic back of your tv. Then you need to take into account the thickness of the mounting bracket and any washers that you might use. You want to go as deep into the tv housing as you can without hitting bottom. If you pause at kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHinZptjebBnjKc you can see that there are spacers or oversized plastic washers that allow for the use of longer machine screws and then the depth of penetration into the tv is not so deep as to cause damage.

[@dianesdishaw3011]

Can I buy the bolts and washers for the TV mounts

[@KantoSolutions]

Our mounts come with all the hardware you should need, but you can buy tv mounting hardware kits online that contain several size of bolts and washers.

[@KaptainCanuck]

These are bolts NOT screws.

[@joeblackwood6384]

machine screws - a fastening device similar to a bolt but having a socket in its head which allows it to be turned with a screwdriver.

[@KaptainCanuck]

@@joeblackwood6384, any competent (AKA knowledgeable) carpenter, etc knows ALL bolts use nuts, or similar, to fasten two components with a premade hole. Screws, on the other hand, bore a hole with their making their own threads. Colloquial use does not make correct, just ignorant.

[@joeblackwood6384]

@@KaptainCanuck - I didn't call you ignorant, I just shared a definition. In industry if you wanted to order a threaded connector with machine threads for use with a nut or in a tapped hole you would order Machine Screws. Not all screws bore holes. I spent my career in military and civil aviation and we used lots of screws that did not bore holes. Screws that cut into metal were a concern not a benefit. We also used bolts that required the use of wrenches and not screwdrivers. I could not find a supplier of "bolts" that were driven or fastened with a screwdriver. I am not ignorant, just coming from a different point of reference and experience. Take Care...
