5.3. Mounting the Wall Plate to the Wall
- Determine the desired height for your TV. Mark the center point on the wall.
- Use a stud finder to locate at least two adjacent wood studs. Mark their centers. For concrete walls, ensure you use appropriate concrete anchors (included).

- Mark the drilling points through the wall plate holes.
- Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit will depend on your wall type and the chosen lag bolts/anchors.
- Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts and washers. Tighten all bolts firmly, but do not overtighten.
