Hi All,

Had a bit of a browse for this Q in the group but couldn't find a
decent answer.

I want to secure a 26" LCD screen to a partition wall, only thing is
that I dont reckon the wall can handle this. I've got the option of
drilling right through the whole wall to the other side if necesary.

Would this work if I put a large metal plate on one side of the wall,
drilled through the plate and whole partition to the other side, then
into the wall TV wall mount.

Or will the problem be more the downward force of the TV?

How much does it weigh? The wall should be able to handle it no problem
if you can fix to one of the vertical studs inside the wall. If not you
might be able to cut out a piece of plasterboard behind where the TV is
going and inset a piece of ply fixed across 2 studs.

if it was a 26" CRT on a bracket it might be a different story.
