Okay, here we go...of the three mounting screws, how many actually will be secured into the wall stud. Is it one in the stud and two into wall anchors? Thoughts? Thanks.

The bottom screw of each triangle of screws I installed will definitely be in the stud. You must have additional screws on top and bottom "plates" to make the grab bar secure. Just one screw at the top and one screw at the bottom in the stud is a "no-no". Wall anchors are also a "no-no". There may be a way to get more screws into the stud if you know what you're doing. There are "slots" between the oval holes of the "plates". If you angle the long screws just right, you can put a screw through the "slots" so they can go on each side of the stud at the top and bottom of the grab bar. Just be careful so the long screws don't hit each other or you'll have a mess. You may have to get 4 thick shorter screws but it will be worth it to make the grab bar secure. Good luck.

I am sorry I do not know exactly how this was installed my landlord's honey-do man did the installing. I had it installed next to the toilet which has been very helpful after knee surgery. It is very sturdy I do know he installed on the studs. Good Luck ... Cathy from MO

First precisely locate the studs and mark the location of the edges. Hold the bar with flanges over the marks, and see if you can get a position that allows two screws at the top of the flange to hit a stud and one hole at the bottom to hit the stud. That is the preferred method. My studs are 16" on center, and did it this way without any wall anchors.

Well that a very tuff question. Because if I say one of the brackets . And you don't hit a stud. This would be very bad. I used both brackets an its still hanging. So for the money! I would rather be safe then sorry. Thats just me. Hope this helped.

I had my contractor put it up since I was remodeling my kitchen. He used drywall anchors (such as molly bolts, etc.) on one and on the other he put it into the studs.

For that you'd want a lead anchor with a screw, and washers to secure it. You'd measure where the screws go. Then drill holes in the cement or brick. Place the wall mount up on the wall. Then screw in the lead anchors with the washers and it should hold up fine. I would think you'd want 2" lead anchors just because that'd hold the weight a little better. And if you talk to someone at Lowe's, home depot, or Ace, etc. They should know what you're looking for and be able to help you out. And get a friend to help you mount it. So one person can hold the wall mount while the other screws in the lead anchors.

mine has 2 screws above the base and 4 more above that,take out all 6 and the base should slide out for wall mounting. see customer pics in product detail.there is a good pic of the 6 screws.

For mounting to a wall with baseboards it came with 1 Vertical mounting tube and 3 plastic wall spacers . You put screws through all of those and into the wall. I would use wall anchors (good quality molly's) if you don't have a stud behind the sheetrock in the space you are mounting to. I don't think it came with wall anchors. We just cut a long piece of wood and painted it to match before mounting it and then you have equal support behind the mounting bars all the way down. We love the gate and the piece of mind it provides.

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.

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. My email is jshook12@yahoo.com Good luck!

It came with 4 screws ... I drilled holes in the wall and it has held fine.. I would not glue it ... It's so much more secure attached with the screws..hope this helps..

Aina, it comes with 3 screws and 3 anchors.. If you are going to use it regularly put it on a stud...

I absolutely would only screw it into the wood studs with the screws. Mine is rock solid AND I too am a perfectionist. If it's not in a stud, you MUST use the anchors, but I can't vouch for it's sturdiness.

The anchors are placed in the ceiling. But they can also be placed in the wall; a bit awkward, but it works just as well. Depends if you're looking for studs to attach to and the type of wall/ceiling where they will be placed. But the choice is yours.

Hi. I gave this to a friend of mine last Christmas and he went to Lowes and bought wall anchors and stainless screws to mount the unit, as where he wanted it placed did not have wall studs located where needed. He says they worked great.

For best results you need to mount onto studs. My unit was mounted on a new doubled stud wall so all 6 screws were solid. No fear of the hand bar pulling out that way. For an existing wall where you don't know if you'll hit a stud I would use the largest expanding anchor I could find. Good luck.

It is pretty hard to catch a stud with all 4 screws. I would think that 2 screws into studs is pretty good and secure.

It was anchored from the inside to the wall behind. I actually bought 3 and had them screwed together and then all 3 were anchored into the studs.

Hi! I'm not sure how to answer the question since I presume you know that it has to be secured to the wall in some manner? If you mean specifically a hammer and nails, the answer is no, but you will be screwing in screws. I believe I made approximately 8 holes in the wall per unit. I hope I've helped!
