If you want to hang a painting, put up a cabinet or install a TV wall bracket, you should test your drywall to find studs or beams for maximum support. The partition walling is meant to serve as dividers for different rooms and contain the sound in the room. It can provide privacy and quiet but it was not meant for hanging heavy objects. You may see homes that have wall hangers attached to the wall with clothes or handbags hanging from them. This is acceptable if the clothes and handbags are light and do not put strain on the hangers. Otherwise, after some time, you will notice the screws of the hangers bending lower towards the outside. Some people might just make another hole a few inches away and shift the hangers to the new hole. They don't realize that by doing so, they are simply transferring the problem to another location in the wall. The problem becomes more evident when you hang heavy objects on the wall, such as a LCD TV flat panel. The TV wall bracket may be able to take the weight of the television set but the underlying question is whether the wall can hold the TV bracket in place.
The technique in hanging objects on the wall is to locate the studs and use them for maximum support. You can use your hand or a small hammer to tap along the wall, listening for a change in tone. A solid sound indicates the probability of a stud while a hollow empty sound means there is nothing behind the wall. Others might visually inspect the wall and look for nails or other marks that could be an indication of studs behind the wall. A stud is the ideal place to screw the LCD bracket. A stud will hold the TV brackets firmly and securely even if a heavy TV set is hanged on the TV wall bracket. The most convenient and effective method is to use a stud finder.

It can locate studs behind the wall magnetically by passing the stud finder along the wall until it senses a nail. A nail in the wall is usually indicative of a stud behind the wall. Another method is by using an electronic stud finder which locates the stud based on wall density. Stud finders have batteries and are applied manually. You pass the stud finder slowly and carefully across the wall. You should allow time for the stud finder to beep when it comes across a nail. If you go too fast, the stud finder might not be able to beep immediately. Also, the stud finder should be on top of the nail or close to them in order to detect the nail. You should go through the effort of finding the studs because you will need them to screw your TV wall mount securely. The studs will help you determine the most appropriate place on the wall for you TV wall brackets. Keep in mind the comfort and ease of viewing the screen when you decide on the ideal spot on the wall for the TV bracket.
After considering the studs, your viewing comfort and the ideal spot, you can establish the type of TV mount you will use for your LCD TV. Since there are a lot of models and types of TV wall brackets in the market, it is easier doing that task at the end. The most critical is establishing the location of the studs since that will be the main support for your TV mounts, and the best way of accomplishing that is through the stud finders. There are multifunction stud finders that can help you find not only studs but also pipes and wiring behind the drywall. This is critical so you don't accidentally cut into the pipes and wiring when you install your TV wall mount. Use the stud finders effectively and you will have an easier time installing the wall brackets.

Cyber Monday Cheetah Mounts AS3S 3 Shelf Wall Mount Bracket for LCD, LED and Plasma TV with Cable Management System Overview
The AS3S is a tri-shelf cable management system. It can be used with or without a Plasma/LCD mount. This unit is designed to fit under your display and provide an on wall solution for other components such as cable boxes, DVD players, game consoles, and stereo components. There are three 2.25-Inch holes on the aluminum plate that allow you to cleanly run your cables up to your TV or down to another component, as well as out the bottom to an outlet. After reviewing our competition we realized that most shelving units need to be mounted directly into a wall stud. In most cases the wall stud is placed to the right or to the left of the display, which is not where most people prefer to have their shelves mounted. This is still the most secure option however, after significant research we’ve found that using the correct toggle bolts can allow you to mount your shelving unit wherever you see fit. With the combination of four of these toggle bolts the shelving unit is able to hold well over 70LBS safely. Each individual toggle bolt provides 75LBS of support. Please note that a good toggle bolt is still only as good as the quality of the drywall it is mounted into. If you have water damage or .25-Inch drywall please add a support for your shelving unit.SAVE NOW on Cyber Monday offers below!
