How to screw up TV/wall mount on the wall

[Joens]

Have mounted many devices on the wall with molly, and if you don't have pliers for it, there's a good chance you'll ruin it. So the best thing is to buy yourself pliers while you're at it!

I only went for the "better" ones that cost a bit more, and there were never any problems.

Gipstoggler seems interesting!

seems very convenient too!

Mollyplug, especially from biltema, should be avoided like the plague. With just a little too much torque, the crap breaks inside the wall and you're left with a rotating bolt in the wall that's come loose from the anchor! Can't "fix" it any other way than with a hole saw... Then you need the right drill, 10.5 mm, so that the wall panel doesn't split on the inside when you force the crap in.

You just need to unscrew the screw a little, give it a hit with a hammer so that the bottom comes loose and goes into the wall, then you pull out the molly. What remains is the hole, and you can put in a new one. A hole saw sounds like a bit overkill

I have also successfully unscrewed it slightly and hammered it into the wall by hitting the screw head. The tabs at the front can be broken off, and then I just pushed it into the wall since it rarely wants to come out again.

Where can those other plugs that are recommended be purchased? They seem to be conspicuously absent...

Hmm, flärpar? I can't remember if I even tried, it was a few years ago. Without it, I didn’t want it at all unless the disc broke.

The ones that are against the plaster on the front. They have to go if you're going to drive it into the wall

 

[Bo.Siltberg]

Yes, but I only remember a sturdy plate that didn't seem possible to pry loose.

My tip is Hw-PRO plugs, much easier than Mollys. There are other brands than Gothia as well.

Do you dare to use these for a TV? I get a little hesitant when it says "gypsum fastening for light installations." Not sure if I would be comfortable with Molly either for a TV. I probably have a love-hate relationship with those little things...

Do you mean "toggler" because I have a few of those at home that say Hilti on them. Really easy to use, and I find that they hold like a rock. The only thing I can think of is that for obvious reasons, you need to have enough space on the backside of the drywall.

According to reports, it's "approved" to install a sink in single drywall with these, even though I would never think of doing it, or even recommend anyone to do it.

Clas Ohlson sells a similar one but it looks like a big screwed Christmas tree that you sort of screw into the drywall. They are completely worthless.

Borrowing the thread as I have a similar problem but a different type of mount:

I bought this mount yesterday at Harald Nyborg.

When I got home, it's so crazy that the holes at the end of the mount you screw into the wall are not 60 cm apart, which makes it impossible to hit the studs. Completely unbelievably stupid!

My TV requires Vesa 400x400 and a swivel mount, which makes it quite difficult to find any good stands - I really liked this one - does anyone have tips on how to build to make it work?

A thought is, of course, to place 2 pieces of 95x45 studs behind the TV and anchor the mount to these, but then it builds out quite a bit from the wall...sigh...

 

[para]

Instead of 2 pieces of 45x95 studs, you can cut a plywood board or similar, which is first mounted on the wall.
It only adds 12-15mm extra. The board can be wallpapered or painted so it blends into the wall.
Then you attach the bracket to it.

Thanks for the tips para - is it this kind of plyfa you mean?
