Mounting on rock wall: Anyone know what kind of bolts I should use if I want to hang a 46" LCD flat panel over my fireplace (rarely used) on a stone wall?

I mounted some brackets for a shelf in cinder blocks (not stone but should work unless it's granite or something) and you will need a masonry drill bit for your pilot holes and specific type of screw (can't remember exactly), perhaps 'masonry' screw. Mine were blue (anodized?) and they have and will never come loose. It is..ahem.. rock hard.

Yes it indeed works well, if you want to just hang it flat on the wall, which we have done. Make sure that there is good wall support behind your sheet rock wall - we did install a piece of 2 x 4 between two vertical studs in the wall and then patched up with sheet rock, but then final product looks the best.

Generally its best to attach to a beam or Stud. But since that's not always possible a good drywall anchor sized for the weight it will hold works just as well. This TV mount comes with bolts for studs and anchors for drywall. You would just need to provide the screws for the anchors.A 27" TV will work well with this mount. I put a 50" TV on mine and its fine.

you have to use lag bolts that will grip the inside of the wall, if you have an over hang that is flush with the top of the angle bracket use the bolts that came with the awning to secure at the top to. hope this helps.

My mount was cheap all around. I tried hanging a 70" sharp over fireplace and as soon as I put it on mount, they bent allowing tv to sag. Learned the hard way not to skimp on the mount.

I had to mount it into sheetrock. So I didn't use the provided screws. I used sheetrock anchors that I bought from the hardware store. It slides onto the screw heads so you can use whatever length or type of screw you need.

If the flat screen has a 4" by 4" bolt pattern on the back, it should bolt up. I don't know about the weight of that large of a panel, but the mount seems pretty strong. I don't have any other recommendations for you.

I'm dealing with the same situation except my Apt has drywall and metal studs over concrete. My neighbor had his HEAVY 65" Plasma hung by "Geek Squad" at Best Buy for $400 plus cost of mount. I'm too afraid to hang mine by myself so unfortunately I'm going to have to bite the bullet pay the $400 :) Good Luck 2 U !! Our 75" Samsung's rock !!!

The instructions include for mounting on Sheetrock walls, and includes hardware for this. Also included is hardware for mounting on cement and cinder block walls. I mounted on Sheetrock and used 2 butterfly wall anchors that I purchased separately which I believe hold best on hollow walls where I can't screw into a stud.

hello i do not know what you have for a wall but i can tell you i had the same problem i did not have any studs to work with but here is what i did.i used several large plastic anchors about6 anchors you can drill into sheet rock or plaster wall.using just 1 stud probably you will not do it i had a 40 inch tv.if u usereally big plastic anchors it will carry a good bit of wheight.and do so safely. believe me it wont fall down as the tvs are not really heavy.i would not use 1 stud as the tv may tilt or come loose.if you can locate at least 2 studs it will be ok.plastic anchors will carry a great deal of weight but use thebigest ones you can buy. what i am trying to tell you forget the studs and go into a flat surface on your wall. it will work have no fear of it falling. hope this helps you tony.

The bolts are heavy duty so no need to upgrade them. I drilled right into my wood framing. I'm 200+ lbs and i'll rip this right out of the wall if I try the drywall mollies.

I mounted mine to drywall using a 100lb wall anchor. Bit of overkill but never have to worry about something going wrong. A stud would work perfect as well. The rubber feet work great to make a nice secure and sturdy base against the wall.

I used 3 50lb drywall anchors. The 4th mounting hole lined up with a wall stud. I got them at my local hardware store. Hope this helps.

Yes find a stud it's to heavy for just sheet rock dry wall only.... It's a good product make sure all screws are tight to make shelves stable and not wobbly.(this is a must) I have 4 (3 tier) one holds play station, DVD player, wii, cable box, works well for my family

You can install this easily on drywall (no stud) using 1/4-inch "strap toggles" bolts. I got a six-pack for $8 to install my 70" TV on an articulating mount. Very good product that allows you to only drill a 1/2-inch hole versus a 3/4-inch hole required for Molly/toggle bolts of the same size.

depends on what your hanging off these rails, weight is the major deciding factor, otherwise make sure to drill straight into studs(if possible) as you can put long screws anywhere on rails to align for stud locations. Use drywall plastic anchors in predrilled plaster wall, also depending on what your hanging off rails. Metal expanding anchors are also a possibility as well as butterfly anchors, depending on plaster wall thickness. *But to go straight to your question, feeble plaster may not be a good thing to hang much of anything heavy.
