Then it will extend a bit on the drywall, may not be very pretty but can definitely be a solution. But to draw a conclusion now, you know which mount I have (check links in previous posts) the mount weighs about the same as the TV, the TV weighs 13 kg and is 55 inches. Everything is attached to a drywall with drywall anchors at the top and wood screws, in the middle drywall anchors too and at the bottom an anchor that partly broke. Everything mounted with a molly tool. See attachments via link. I have attached 2 pictures so you can understand how everything is attached so you can form a picture of it together with the mount. To conclude, will my mounting hold, the drywall is new and double, the drywall anchors are correctly mounted. You understand that I would rather avoid other measures as long as it works as it does right now. If it wouldn't hold, then it would probably gradually show that the mount feels loose and not that the TV falls directly? Use my first post here and try to form a better understanding.FreQa said:
You don't actually want to change anything, so why ask? Without being there, others can at best assess and guess. If you're lucky, it holds; less lucky but still okay, it may loosen slowly so you have time to save the TV. But if you want to be sure, plaster is not the best thing to mount a TV on, especially if you plan to tilt it back and forth.
Thanks, any more wise answers?leby said:

What size are the Mollies you have used?
Can you take a picture of the attachment to the wall? (where you can see the screw heads)
I can't see where the holes are located in the images you attached (the product images you linked to)

I replaced your Mollys with a larger size (M6).
One at the bottom, one in the middle, and one at the top. If the holes are too small, drill them a bit larger.
Drill with a 10mm bit in the plaster (not 12mm as stated) and push in the Molly—then use a Molly tool as you have done.
The pressure will entirely be on the upper Molly... If you can, drill 2 holes here (on either side of the existing one) Just make sure that both Mollys fit next to each other)
It will be enough
Go for it!

Go for it!Great to hear! Is there anything to consider when removing existing Mollys at the attachment points so I can get new ones in without any problems afterward? I'm also thinking it might be difficult to place two Mollys at the top as they will probably expand into each other? Thanks in advancePear4Life said:

1 down, 1 in the middle, and 1 up. If the holes are too small - drill them a bit bigger.
Drill with a 10mm drill in the plaster (not 12mm as it says) and push in the Molly - then use a Molly pliers as you've done.
The torque will be directly on the upper Molly... If you can, drill 2 holes here (on each side of the existing one). Just make sure both Mollys have room next to each other.
That will be enough

Even if you have 2 molly plugs with a max weight of 20 kg, it's 20 kg that counts, not 40.
Cut off the collar with a regular pair of pliers. There might be some "chafing" around the hole, but it's no big deal.
If the hole in the wall is not already 10mm, drill it out to that size.
One Molly at the top will be enough... but brackets like these (with a narrow mounting plate) benefit from 2 horizontal holes at the top if possible.
However, note that they don't need to be completely level... just one to the right and one to the left at the top part. This stabilizes the bracket quite a bit. Above all, you remove a lot of weight from the torque at the top

No one wants to put themselves above you and play know-it-all, not me at least ... Go ahead Molly and get in touch in 3 months ..curious

But if I replace all the plugs with M6, I get a higher maximum weight. What isn't holding then?
If I go to myself, we don't set anything in plaster that weighs... neither Molly nor duomax will hold on paper... no, then the carpenter has to use studs or similar. For example, a kitchen hood, TV, or a heavy crystal chandelier in the living room...
