Mark the center of each stud
Confirm stud locations with a small pilot hole
Check the bracket’s mounting holes and weight rating
Use a mount rated for at least 100 pounds and the TV size

Hold the bracket level and mark all hole locations
Drill pilot holes into the stud centers
Use the lag bolts and washers provided with the mount
Tighten the lag bolts into the studs with a socket wrench
Do not use drywall anchors for a 100 pound TV bracket
If the bracket holes do not match the studs, use a mounting plate or adapter designed for stud spacing
Recheck level before fully tightening all bolts
