Sec on A: Wood Stud Installa on
1. Loca ng a stud: First you will need to locate a stud in the wall. If you know how to locate a stud
please con nue to Step 2. If you would like help loca ng a stud, please see below.
Finding a wooden stud in your home: One quick way to find a wall stud is to find a power outlet on
the wall. Power outlets are normally located next to a stud. The easiest way to confirm the loca on of a
stud is with an electronic stud finder, which you can purchase at a hardware store. Once you find an ini al
stud, other wall studs are typically located in the wall
every 16". Please note that some homes are constructed
with studs every 24". Addi onally, many walls have "non-
standard" studs located next to doors, windows and
fireplaces. To get the best support for your mount it is
important that you put the moun ng screws for your wall
plate into the center of the wall stud. If it is difficult to
determine the exact center of the stud with your stud
finder, you can get the exact loca on of the stud using a
thin nail and hammer. With the hammer, pound the thin
nail into the wall in the area of the stud. If the nail is to
the side of the stud it will go through the drywall and
easily into the empty space in the wall. If the nail is on
the stud, once it goes through the drywall, it will not go
into the wall easily as it is hi ng the wood of the stud. Keep repea ng this process in the area of the stud
un l you can tell exactly where the stud starts and ends. The middle of these two points is the center of the
stud.
2. Mark and Pre-Drill Installa on Points: Once
you have located a stud, use the included wall plate
template to mark the exact loca on for your two wall
plate lag bolts. You can tape your template to the wall

posi oning before proceeding with the install. Then use
a 5mm or 3/16" drill bit to pre-drill these holes to a
depth of 2".
