Dear visitors of the site, good afternoon!
In this article, we will look at step-by-step technology, , how to hang a TV on the wall with your own hands .The reason for writing this article was my everyday experience, based on which when buying a TV in the store, I asked to install it in my home. To my surprise there was no limit, when the consultant replied that the cost of installing the TV on the wall is 3500-4500 thousand rubles. Here are the prices for not quite a complicated job, so let's start.
Necessary tools for work:
- Drill( in my case, a conventional screwdriver);
- 2 drills for concrete( cost about 50 rubles apiece);
- Roulette;
- Construction level;
- Self-tapping screws;
- Set of building dies;
- Wall bracket( in my case with the ability to tilt, for a more comfortable viewing of the TV)
- Hammer;
- And also a wall, a TV and a helper( a helper is needed to lift and help fix the TV in the grooves).
Step-by-step technology for securing the TV to a wall
- The first thing we need to do is to study the instruction. Usually a piece of paper with instructions for attaching the TV to the wall is present right in the box when buying the wall bracket( by the way, it cost me 2,000 rubles).Let's study it.
- The next step is to draw up preliminary drawings. We need to measure the size of our TV and note the resulting parameters on the wall.
- After we have measured the dimensions of the TV using a tape measure, we begin to measure the bracket and outline its outline.
- The contour is ready. It is time to fix the tiltable guides on the TV( with their help, the level of the slope will be adjusted).In order to properly fix the guides, you must lay the TV on a flat horizontal surface and screw the guides to the back cover of the TV with bolts.
- The fifth step is the mounting of the frame to the wall. Mounting the frame is as follows: first attach the frame to the wall and using a pencil( in my case, a ballpoint pen), mark the grooves for drilling holes in the wall. It is important to note that the frame and its location are exposed using the building level, becausethis will allow you to install it without any distortion( at right angles).
- The next step is the most difficult part - drilling holes for dowels with self-tapping screws( on which the skeleton frame itself will be installed).You can drill with a conventional screwdriver( as I did), but the most convenient tool is of course a drill. Drilling is necessary with a special drill for concrete, tk.it is not dull and the drilling speed will be much higher.
- So the holes are ready, then we begin to insert the dowels.
- When the dowels are inserted - we begin to screw in the screws. Screws are screwed using a key for 10 or using pliers( in the people of pliers).
- When the frame is installed, it must be tested. If your telescope weighs about 20 kilograms, then the test load that the wall bracket must withstand is - 60 kg.
- That's all. I hope my detailed technology will help you figure out how to install the TV on the wall.
