My studs are 24" of center what are my options?

The bracket that goes on the wall measures maximum 20" from outside of hole to outside of hole. The screws would have to go in on an angle.

Yes you can, however what I would do is bolt a 2x4 across the two studs and then bolt this to the 2x4. It will work great. God bless and have a great and safe week. let me know how it turns out. t

You should be fine using longer bolts. I would recommend pre-drilling first just to protect the stud. It's going to take enough abuse. I wouldn't use anything smaller then a 3" just because you will have a weak point with the sheetrock being between the stud and the bracket. Unless you cut out the sheetrock just big enough for the bracket...?

Mine are on 32", but unless you have *really* wide shoulders, 24" should be fine. If you think about it, you basically want them to be shoulder width apart

I do not believe it can, it isn't wide enough for 24" studs. I installed mine with six wall anchors and did not screw into a stud at all.

standard 16 inch on center studs have 14.5 inches space between studs. This unit requests a rough opening of 14inches. Since your rough opening is .5 inches too narrow it may not fit. After buying the cabinet and it doesn't fit you can always notch out .25 inches from each stud's inner surface using a flat head screw driver and a hammer or a dremel tool if you have it. May be tedious. This is how door latches fit flush with the wood.

Yes Much better that way. Find stud locations and use lag bolts 1- 1/2 long

Mine is already mounted so I can't get and edge to edge measurement. I tried eyeballing the outer edges with a steel tape and got 18 3/4" but I'll go with the consensus. The more important issue is to use a good stud finder and locate the EDGES of each stud. Then make sure that a couple of mounting holes on each end are centered within each stud and not too close to a stud edge. As was mentioned, if the studs are not exactly 16" OC, you may have to angle the grab bar. This won't make a difference in the functionality.

In my opinion, your not going to damage the stud. Studs are I think 18"s apart to spread the weight out on a wall. In a worse scenario, If you had to remove the wall board to get to the stud you could always splice another stud to the damaged one by screws or bolts to strengthen the stud. I hope this answer helps.

No problem, just be sure that your fasteners are attach to studs or thick wood... Enjoy

Yes, I'm using a 1 1/4 inch (1.25") Stud bar (google it, not the bar in SFO it's a chin up bar) you'll be fine, no regrets. I'm using it less and less over time but helps you get used to the reps

The way mine lined up only coincided with one stud, so I used a heavy duty toggle bolt on the other side (into 1/2 drywall). No problems on my 46".

I would definitely hit two studs.. One is easier but if you hit two you know your tv mount should never fall and you'll be able to use the swivel more confidently.. Standard stud spacing is 16" on center.

The unit is made to mount on studs that are 24 inches on center which means that the mounting holes are probably 22¼ inches apart. You can move one of your anchors to make the fit and the rack housing should cover the hole that was vacated. This unit is worth the trouble.

A standard wall stud will do. I believe i have mounted it onto a 12" stud. Try to mount it on you larges stud if you have varied studs. Not sure if they come this small but i believe it would work on a 6" too

how far apart are the brackets, my house is very old and the studs in the wall are 24ft. apart not sixteen

from center of hole to center of hole they ar 15 13/16"--the outside edge of hole is 1" from the end of the board-if you have 16" spacing between studs the holes should fall on a stud
