How do I install the TV bracket with my own hands?

To date, almost all apartments have a separate small TV set. This "fashion" has even reached private homes, where installation of plasma LCD TVs is also very common. However, whatever it is - flat or wide, the installation principle does not change during its installation. In both cases it is necessary to drill holes and install special brackets, on which the case will be fixed. In today's article, we'll tell you how to properly mount the bracket for the TV on the wall and which type is best to choose.

Varieties

Even at the purchase stage, pay attention to what kind of device you want to purchase. There are bracket hook type (the TV is installed on special hooks) and stands with a swivel / tilt mechanism. As practice shows, the most convenient to use is the latter type. Therefore, if your budget is not severely limited (and such devices are an order of magnitude higher than hooked ones), get this mechanism.

Instruments

Before installing the TV bracket with your own hands, we need to prepare a certain set of tools. You will need:

• A pencil or marker for marking lines on the wall surface;
• Building level ;
• Painting tape (if the wall of the kitchen is made of tiles);
• Drills with a drill;
• Phillips screwdriver or screwdriver;
• a hammer.

How do I install the TV bracket with my own hands?

With all these tools, you can safely proceed with the installation. Before installing the TV bracket with your own hands, you need to choose the place where it will be located. Since there is practically no free space in the kitchen in many apartments, mount the bracket in one of the free corners of the room. After this, you need to make a marking to fix the fixing element. To do this, use the building level to select a level position and mark the vertical line with the marker. This is to ensure that in the future the TV was exactly on the device. If the installation of the mechanism is done incorrectly (that is, crooked), it's possible that your TV will soon fall down. By the way, if you are going to do the mechanism yourself, ask yourself how to make the bracket for the TV, pay attention to the level of tilting the holes you drilled. They should be placed at the highest possible level relative to each other.

After setting the measurements, match the bracket exactly at the center of the line and mark 2 holes for subsequent drilling. After that, we take a drill in hand, install a drill (its diameter should correspond to the width of the holes made in the fastening mechanism) and make small holes to screw the screws into the wall. By the way, if the drill starts to "walk" on the surface (usually it happens with tiles), glue on it a building scotch tape or electrical tape. Next, we mount the dowels, hammer them with a hammer and screw the screws. At the same time to hang the bracket for the TV with your own hands, you need to use the "groove in the groove" method. Having convinced of the reliability of the device's mounts, boldly install the TV and enjoy watching movies, programs and TV shows!
