Modern flat-panel TVs are very convenient to hang on the wall. This saves space in the room and improves viewing comfort. All new TVs are equipped with a point to attach a dedicated TV bracket, but the bracket itself is very expensive. You can solve the problem much easier even without using special equipment and save a lot on this.
It is necessary
- - set of tools;
- - metal corners from a hardware store;
- - metal plates;
- - bolts and nuts.
Instructions
Step 1
Study the attached diagram. The TV is mounted with corners. The corners are attached to the wall with dowels, and to the TV - with bolts of the corresponding diameter (each model may have a different diameter). In addition, the fastening system integrates several corners into a system on the back wall (brown rectangle), in case one of the bolts looses or comes off. The position of the TV is adjusted by moving the attachment points along the surface of the corner and additional plates (light green in the diagram), if necessary. The mount turns out to be fixed, but with the ability to determine in advance the position of the TV on the wall.
Step 2
The first step is to make a system of mounts for the TV (brown plate in the diagram). Take any metal plates with a thickness of at least 3-4 mm and make a frame as shown in the diagram. It can be done in absolutely any way. Here it is only important to maintain the dimensions L1 and L2. These dimensions must be taken directly from the TV. The distances are fixed between the mounting holes. Hole diameters are selected depending on the thread diameter.
Step 3
Next, fasten the corners to the resulting area with bolts. Drill through holes at convenient points in the manufactured mount and bolt the four corners as indicated in the diagram.
Step 4
Fasten the pre-fabricated corner platform to the back of the TV. You need to fix the platform very securely.
Step 5
Measure the distance between the corners on the back panel and attach the four corners to the wall at the corresponding points.
Step 6
Lean the TV against the wall along with the corners on the back and figure out what position it should eventually occupy. Most likely, the standard size of the corners will be enough for you. Each standard corner has three holes already made. Most often, it is possible to combine them in such a way that the TV takes the desired position. If you cannot do this, then make spacers of the required length (light green color in the diagram) and insert them between the corners on the wall and not on the TV.
Step 7
When finally fastening, first fasten the corners in such a way that you can change the position of the TV with your hands, and only then tighten all the fasteners in the desired position.
