Sanus Wall Mount

Most modern flat screen TVs, from LCD screens to plasma screens, are able to mount on a wall. This feature allows you to save space on a TV stand. However, in order to mount the TV on the wall, you have to install the mount first. Most mounts have a part that attaches to your TV and a part that attaches to the wall. You have to connect both of the parts in order to mount the TV.

Instructions

1

Purchase a mount that fits your flat screen TV and choose a location for the TV to hang. It should not be above a heater or fireplace. Avoid glare from windows as well.

2

Lay your TV face down on a blanket and find the four screws for the wall mount. You may have to pry off the plastic caps that cover the screws with a screwdriver.

3

Unscrew the screws and place the mount's bracket over the holes. Screw the screws back in place to attach the TV to the bracket.

4

Use the stud finder to locate the studs in the wall where you want to hang your TV. Mark the location of the studs.

5

Line the mount up on the wall so it is level and use the power drill to drill the screws into the studs to hold the mount on the wall.

6

Ask a helper to help you lift and secure the TV to the mount. One person needs to hold the TV while the other lines up the mount and bracket and screws the screws in place to hold the TV to the mount.
