How To Find Studs In Wall For Tv Mount. I bought a tv mount the other day, expecting to hang my heavy 40 tv above the fireplace. Anxiously trying to find a wall stud while you're in the process of hanging a picture, shelf, or tv mount.
If mounting on wood stud walls, identify where the studs are, then make four marks on the wall where you would install the screws.
In principle, you can mount your tv and tv mount on a hollow wall but it does depend on the situation. When it does, mark it with some painters tape so you remember the position. For the plasterboard walls which have been screwed into the wooden studs, you only have few choices about it. I thought i found the stud locations but apparently my stud finder was asleep at the wheel.
