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?

Thanks for any input

Tom


I would have thought the wall would handle that load easily if it is
attached to a stud. If you want to attach it to the plasterboard though
it might be a different matter. If you are willing to risk it there are
numerous plasterboard fixings that IME are pretty good. Personally I
would probably mount a sheet of ply on the wall attached to 2 or more
studs in two places (2 per stud that - is not 2 total). Then attach your
LCD screen to the ply. Perhaps a bit over kill but it won't fall down.
