Can someone post the distance between the center of the bolts? Before I buy this I want to know if it will go into my wall studs.

It works great to hang it on a piece of wood (1x4) if your studs don't line up.

You control the center distance as the rack flexes into a semi-circle the distance between mounting holes is variable.

I think it is 32.5 inches, but I am a girl. Also, not the smartest. So that's not necessarily perfect. (Some girls are very smart, and would know this.)

They are 16" apart...I was still concerned about a lag bolt not hitting the stud correctly so I attached 2x8 s to the studs and then attached the wall mount to the 2x8s. Gave me more peace of mind...no problems here.

Yes, bolt it to the studs and it should be great...........anchors in the wallboard itself will NOT work!

I thought about it, then I moved my TV over so I could line it up with the stud. There is just too much weight on this, even empty, for it to be trusted hanging from just anchor bolts in dry wall. I would avoid it if you can.

Hello Joan, my experience with this mount is that you have to mount it on the studs, the dimensions are on the box or in the description before you purchase it

My husband used the two center holes along the shafts to mount the brackets to studs. I was able to look up under the kayak enough to see that he did this because the two holes you are referring to are located just to either side of the stud. This would make the distance between the inner edges of the holes 1 1/2".

Yes Much better that way. Find stud locations and use lag bolts 1- 1/2 long

It is designed to extend only across 2 studs of standard 18" on center width. This is plenty for its weight rating. The problem comes in when centering on a wall. Often, especially when centering over a mantel, one stud is at or near the center of the wall, leaving one half of the mount unsecured. However, if the other side is secured to a stud then toggle bolts will be sufficient on the other side to resist torque.

My husband actually remade the thing! It should go between the wall studs but he installed it between two of our pantry shelves instead. I would say about 5-6 inches would normally go into the wall and then just the frame on the outside would protrude out from the wall. The concept is good but the workmanship is terrible.

My studs did not line up well either since I mounted mine in corner of garage. I did not use drywall anchors though; I build a frame using 1x6's which I think worked very well. It is super sturdy, and I wasn't worried about seeing the wood mounted on the wall since it was the garage. I have pictures of how I did it, so if you want to see them, just let me know.

I can't give an exact measure, mine is already bolted in place. But if you have no less than 14.25 inches between the studs, u should be fine. You might could get away with 14 inches. You can always try I shave away a little bit of the studs if you need another eighth to a quarter of an inch. But I would feel ok with about 14.25. If your studs are more than 16, just screw in some shims, but I assume you mean they're on the small side. The vline web site puts the Luther diminishing at 14 inches wide. So I may be a bit off with my 14.25 estimate. You can't go wrong with this safe.

Studs are normally spaced 16" apart on center.The unit fits in between very tight.There's approx. 1" of lip or flange area around the opening.Nice unit.

The distance from the wall to the center of the rod mount is about 11 -3/4" . There a nice heavy bracket though.

Yes, the spacing is set so that it should be the right distance to screw into two studs. If you don't screw into the studs I would be seriously concerned it would fall off the wall because it's really heavy.

It is 16" W x 14" H. Remember your studs should 16" on center. Therefore it should fit between the studs.

Aloha A C, Mine fit great between the wall studs that were sixteen inches on center. A little sloppy so I used some shims on one side due to it being an older condo and built in Maui. Height is no problem, just make sure you know where the wires are at in the wall. Depth will be a problem installing it in a 2x4 wall with insulation. Your will have to cut the insulation out behind the safe. It took me less than fifteen minutes to install it. I love it. Aloha, Captain

you need one long enough to hit the studs,,the one I bought reaches the stud which are 36 inches apart to center it on the wall.It's possible that you may only go 24 inches on a smaller wall.
