Drill a 3/16 " pilot hole instead of a 7/32 " pilot hole - otherwise easy installation and strength!

I used to professionally install televisions for people, so I used a lot of different mounting systems. I was looking for something cheap but reliable to hang my LG 50LA6200 50 inch LCD TV. I looked at many options both at Revain and elsewhere before settling on this one. I'm glad I did! The kit includes EVERYTHING you need to hang your TV except for a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a drill. a double wrench, a very good magnetic level and even a 10ft HDMI cable. The instructions say the " additional" expansion kit for large TVs. This is usually the code for " I followed the recommendations for the pilot hole. The screw was of course easy to screw in. a little TOO easy. The second hole from the top actually fell off and I didn't try hard with the screwdriver at all! Moving this to the other side of the room I decided to use a smaller pilot jet. Instead, I used a 3/16" bit. Of course, you're not going to screw the screw in with a screwdriver - you'll need a 10mm socket - but those screws aren't going anywhere that way! with a 13/64" bit , but to really protect your expensive TV I want to get all the bits I can get! I also found that the inner diameter of one of the washers was too small for the screw. . I just enlarged it with a round file, but since there are no replacement parts in the kit, you'll have to buy one if you don't have a file or other shim. I just decided to discard it in the interest of full disclosure. After this was installed I was impressed not only with the durability but also with the full freedom of movement. It is fully articulated. You can place your TV almost anywhere. The only thing it can't do is move the TV up or down, although you can tilt it to an extent. need to buy one if you don't have a file or other washer.
