Review on InstallerParts 65 Corner Mount Extension by John Brouillard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Heavy-Duty Angle Bracket

Very strong attachment. I installed a 60 inch TV there. The only step that required an assistant was to install the TV on the bracket. Even with a 60-inch TV, there was plenty of room to rotate the TV perpendicular to the viewing area. I looked at several corner mounts and this seemed like the best choice for me. It takes time to plan where to drill the first hole. In my case, I wanted the center of the TV to be at eye level when seated. I also wanted it to be big enough to cover a small entertainment center with a soundbar on top. I found studs on the walls and taped them over the studs. Using a spirit level, I drew a vertical line down the center line of the posts. Drilled the first hole. Use a spirit level to mark the corresponding hole on the other bolt. I attached the bracket with the screws provided, making sure the bracket was level. I used my drill and made starting holes for other delays. I removed the bracket to drill the remaining holes of the desired depth and diameter. After that I fixed the mount and it was still flat. I reckon it took an hour. There are different ways to find a stallion. Perhaps the best way is to use Stud Finder. In my case I was lucky to have sockets on both walls in the corner. I removed the wall panel to determine which side the rack was on (electrical boxes are attached to the rack). Most houses are built with poles that are 16 inches apart, with poles that are 1.5 inches wide; The center of the stud is 3/4" from the electrical box. Use a piece of masking tape or whatever you have on hand and tape it over the area where the stud will be and mark the center (that Masking tape can be easily removed when the job is done and there are no extra marks on the wall. If the mount goes to that post, just use a piece of tape and wipe vertically from the mark.After that, use one spirit level, to draw the line vertically; This will mark the center of the rack on the wall. If you are installing the TV on an adjacent stand, measure more than 16 inches from the center of the stand where the outlet is attached, and then apply a vertical piece of tape. and draw a line with a level. Before drilling a hole, use a small end nail to make sure there is a pin in that spot. Do the same for the other wall.
