How to Install a Wall-Mount Bracket for a Flat-Screen TV

Flat-screen TVs are thinner than old-fashioned TVs, but that doesn't mean they are light. Installing a flat-screen TV onto your wall is a simple process, but can result in a damaged or broken TV if you don't do it properly. Follow certain guidelines and take a few precautions to ensure that you'll enjoy your new, wall-mounted television.

Instructions

    1

    Slide a stud finder along the wall and mark the studs' placement with a pencil.

    2

    Hold your wall-mount bracket up to the wall. Hold a level over it to make sure it is straight and even. When it is level, mark your bolt locations with a pencil, lining them up with the bolt holes on the bracket. Line your bracket up with the wall studs.

    3

    Drill pilot holes on the marks for the bolts, using a power drill.

    4

    Bolt the wall mount tightly to the wall, using a socket wrench. Make sure the whole bracket is level before you tightly secure it and adjust as needed
