How far away from the center of a stud can I mount this without going off the stud? Am I workiing with the butt end of the stud (2") or the sides?

It depends on how wide the stud is. Best bet is to use a good stud finder to find the edges. I sometimes drill through the drywall with a small bit to find out. Some of the other answers my be more accurate than mine :)

Thats a trickey question, use your better judgement I did not even put it in a stud I drilled a hole and put a plastic anchor in and screwed it in the nail holes are set in a spot where it levels it out just fine unless you are hanging cass iron pans then I really do not know, sorry I could not help more but I have the rack for a few yrs now and love it. I have 8 pots hanging with no problem and sometimes I take it down and turn it upside down for a different look , the pots just hang higher. Have a good day.

A support stud is 1.5 inches. You could always use a tiny finish nail and find out the exact nailing surface by poking a couple of exploratory holes into the sheetrock but then you're going to have holes to spackle. Once you decide where you want the top hole, you could always use a level to find the bottom hole.

Husband says there is 3/4" from center to edge of butt end stud that is 1-1/2" wide

I can't remember exactly how long the screws were (maybe two inches). But i would guess that as long as you have screws that go one inch into the stud, then you are fine. Remember, the weight creates downward pressure, so its not going to pull straight out from the wall. Use a couple more if you are really worried.

I can't answer directly, as mine is already installed and I am at work. Seems like it would be easier to trim out portions of the edges of the panel where the stud fits if necessary. Put mine in with construction adhesive - works very well.

Two wall studs are needed 16" apart. The mount comes with lots of extra hardware to adapt to almost any flat screen TV.

I do not have the bracket at my home, it is at our lake house. It is approximately 5 or 6 inches between vertical holes and my studs were 16 inches apart horizontally.I found my studs with a stud finder and used the bubble level to level the bracket. I held the bracket to the wall as hard against the wall as possible while I laid out the holes with my other hand. The hardest part of the project was to figure out how the television designer intended to mount the vertical mounting pieces to the back of the television. After that it was a snap.

I thought about it, then I moved my TV over so I could line it up with the stud. There is just too much weight on this, even empty, for it to be trusted hanging from just anchor bolts in dry wall. I would avoid it if you can.

The unit extends 2.5 inches beyond the mounting flange, and that's not allowing for wire out the back. It would not fit in a 2 inch think wall. I bought mine for a different purpose.

I used drywall screws (instead of the screws that come with it), and it seems pretty secure in the drywall. The mounting holes are about 28" apart, so you will not be able to get both sides in a stud. It's not that heavy though, so it shouldn't be a problem.

NOT CENTERED! Mount the unit 5 inches RIGHT of the center line where you want the TV centered... When collapsed the TV will than be centered. Aprox 13 inches will be LEFT of the center line. If needed secure a piece of 3/4" plywood to the studs you need to hit. Then bolt the unit to the plywood remembering you need 13 inches to the left of center.

About 7 inches. Suggestion: once you find the studs screw in one side of the top of the mount, level and do the other side. Then you can secure the bottom of the mount. Hope this helps.

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

Yes, the mount can be positioned up to about 2 inches left or right of being centered on the studs.

16" apart for studs. I found it necessary to hang on 3 studs total for maximum stability. Not sure of an alternative.

I used the largest spacers that came with it to mount the TV and then tip it down a little. It is 2 inches from the wall on the bottom and 4 inches from the wall on the top. If you don't used the spacers and don't tip it, the tv will be about 2 inches total from the wall.

Yes you could put the screws in the last holes and that would be 24 inches. I have mine at 16 because that is where my studs were! Most houses the studs are 16 on center, I've not heard of any being 24 on center, what I would do is use two 2x6s and run them across the 24 in gap and go from there! The only thing with that is your TV would be 1 5/8 inches farther out than just the plain mount!

You need to find the wall studs before mounting.They should be 16" or24 on center.

this tv mount is very long and where i wanted my tv on the wall was just off of a stud. So i put the tv mount on the stud but lengthend the wall mount so the tv is exactly where i wanted and no one was the wiser
