Fixing to drywall

[disinfo]

no substitute for aforementioned plywood method.

I use plywood onto the studs to hang network cabinets considerably heavier than televisions.

In fact, i've had to rehang a few when their "magic fixings" used by subbies have failed them.

Plaster board doesn't give a secure fixing if there is any vibration present.

The vibration of the fixing slowly but relentlessly enlarges its hole until the fixing becomes loose.

That maybe true of standard fixings which rely on gripping the plasterboard with the thread but these have the additional toggle on the back which spreads the load and clamps the plaster board between the fixing and the bracket.

Unless the gypsum degenerates or a significant force is applied to the TV then a cant see it going anywhere.

Day 4 and it's still up .... at this rate I might even get a week out of those fixings!

Almost into Feb now and said LCD TV is still mounted on the wall .... Jus an update for all the doomslayers out there.

I'm so pleased with the strength of these fittings, a couple of new rads are now securely fixed using the fixings.

and as monsoon hasn't posted about having to shovel up a floor full of broken tv parts one can only assume his method of fixing has stood the test of time.
