Loctek Model L1: Strong. Easy installation, included hardware is all included.

Been looking for a product at a good price for a long time. He is strong. and has all the necessary hardware for wall mounting. Includes spirit level (magnetic) for leveling when base is wall mounted (not shown). I saw many companies offering this, didn't expect it and wasn't worried. since I got my tools. but they make it convenient as the torpedo plane is a bit too big to use and because it's magnetic it frees the hand. The kit includes all the necessary hardware for a standard drywall, concrete/brick and plaster/lath installation. (Even includes screens for installation in concrete/masonry.) Includes a full set of hardware to mount the plate to MANY different VESA TV mount configurations. Was very impressed with the hardware that came with it. The tilting mechanism works perfectly and is quick to hold. On the other hand, that was the only "problem". (but that's not a big problem.) The included hex key/hex key/wrench was the wrong size, but the nuts that attach the mounting plate to the bolts on the arm are knurled like hand tightening/pliers if you don't do. It is not necessary to have the correct size Allen key. (Don't try to hand tighten these two nuts, use pliers, they work just as well.) The arm joints are tight, but that's okay as the TV doesn't move easily/freely with a slight bump. .(You will need both hands to move the TV from its fully extended position to its horizontal position on the wall.) While waiting for my package to arrive, I discovered that Loctek has its own YouTube channel. The box I received lists the bracket model as L1. Their YouTube channel has a video for the L2 that is similar in design if you want to see how difficult (rather easy) it is to install one of these yourself. (The design difference is really just the connection of the mounting plate to the lever. The L2 uses three screws instead of two and the tilting mechanism is different.) Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuQKa79wZR0. The box says it's suitable for use with TVs up to 42 inches, but includes extension arms (pictured) if your TV has a VESA mount with wider spacing than the plate and will fit a larger TV if it's not heavier is allowable weight. I bought this for my grandma's living room, she has a 22 pound 40 inch RCA TV. (Yes they include screws, washers and spacers to attach the plate to a multiple size/diameter TV. I can't find anything that came with your TV, they have you covered.) This will hold the TV in place and Place held no problems or signs of stress etc. on the bracket. Overall, I'm very happy with the design and build quality, as well as the included hardware. And I'm happy to buy another one if I need to install another TV or a larger monitor. was delivered, and it's really not Loctek's fault. It took 15 days for me to receive the package. But the way I see it, is it a quality product and compared to what you would pay in store for a full motion swivel wall mount? It was worth it. Installation, it was an old plain stucco wall over brick (mid to late 18th century house but it's holding up. as it should be. Just a bit of modding on my part. I could mount it to a window frame and use an arm extension, but I wanted it to be centered between two windows 32" apart. Under normal circumstances with standard drywall/studs this is a very easy install. Locate the jamb, drill a pilot hole for the first top screw. Fasten the top with one screw "loosely", then loosen the bottom screw, align, tighten the screws, pay attention to the level, put the third/last screw in the top and you are done with the power tools attach the plate to the tv, have someone help you hold the tv and attach it to the bracket, tighten the two Screws and the tilt screws are tightened at the same height. Have fun.
