Hello,

I could really use some advice! I have tried googling around, asking in stores, and consulting the handyman I know.

I want to mount a 75-inch TV that weighs 32 kilos.
There have been two different TV mounts on the wall from the previous owners.
I actually can't find any studs behind the drywall. It seems to be a thick single layer of drywall (14 mm?).

Can I hang the TV with molly plugs?
What other options do I have?
 
  • Cardboard template taped to a wall with several screw holes visible, used as a guide for mounting a 75-inch TV.
  • Holes in a drywall with measurements for mounting, showing previous attempts to install TV brackets, questioning the use of molly bolts for support.
A properly mounted Molly can handle.

  • Screw size 4 mm: up to 15 kg
  • Screw size 5 mm: up to 20 kg
  • Screw size 6 mm: up to 30 kg
However, note that the drywall must withstand the load.
32 kg tightly mounted on the wall (no arm to pull out) should normally not be a problem at all.
 
If you remove the floor molding, you can usually see the joints on the drywall panels.

  • Screw measure 4 mm: up to 15 kg

Note, however, that the drywall must be able to handle the load.
32 kg tightly mounted on the wall (no arm to pull out) should normally not pose any problems at all.
Essves is stronger.
Technical information and load capacity table for Essve SAM metal expander anchors, with specifications for single-layer plasterboard application.

I found a metal stud. How much difference does it make if a screw is in it? Does it make a difference if I also press PL600 into the holes and behind the fitting?
