How to Hang a TV on a Drywall, Plaster, Brick, and Cement Walls

 

A traditional TV wall mount is a device that is used to securely attach a television to a wall either stationary or on some form of swivel. It generally consists of a bracket that is attached to the back of the TV, and a mounting plate that is attached to the wall.

A recent article on the Bob Villa website pointed out:

In general, customers can expect to pay between $15 and $120 to mount a TV that measures 31 inches or less and up to $500 for a 55-inch TV wall mount, but TVs that exceed 70 inches can cost $600 or more to mount.

 

 

It's Simple Physics! 

 

No wonder why most of us use a handyman, and even if you find a good one, you should expect to pay that kind of money! Don’t take our word for it, here are some customer testimonials:

 

Works EXACTLY as described!
I saw the ad for this on TikTok of all places and I had a ton of skepticism that this would actually work. The TV I used it on is an 85" Sony Bravia TV. From unboxing to hanging on the wall took less than 20 minutes. The TV looks AMAZING!!! It has been almost a month since I hung it and it is still just as secure as the day I installed it. I am incredibly satisfied.

Got it for Xmas
I actually works! This product is WAY different from the others you see on the market. I saw them on both tiktok and facebook for weeks, so I figured okay lets buy it. I have a 65 inch and 70 inch and they worked great on both of them! YAY! Also, the free mystery gift that came with the bundle is SUPER cute. :)

So first, some basic knowledge about Toenailing, what is it exactly?

 

Toenailing is the process of driving a nail at a 45-degree angle to fasten two pieces of wood or drywall together, typically with their grains perpendicular. The nails go in at a 45 degree angle anchoring to the wall. This creates pressure 90 degrees to the ground. The nails will NEVER move and nothing will happen to the drywall. The physics behind the toenail concept is based on the principle of tension and force. On drywall, this concept was used to hang mirrors or pictures up to a certain weight, definitely not over 100 pounds.

 

For example: Take a wall, try to hang your body from the top of the wall with your fingers at a 180 degree angle (so going perfectly horizontally) you would fall right down. 

 

 

Now…. Do the same thing, and grip the wall making your fingers curve at a 45 degree angle anchoring to the wall. You won’t fall, and nothing will happen to the wall. 

 

How to Hang a TV on Drywall without Studs

 

The toenail is inserted into the drywall at a downward, 45 degree angle creating tension on the drywall. The secret of HangSmart TV isn’t just the concept of toenailing. It’s a combination of two additional factors:

HangSmart TV has a patented design utilizing an elastic, secure mount. The wall mount uses four nails on each side (total of eight) to create an anchor that distributes the weight evenly and downward at a 90-degree angle. The two mounts are attached to the elastic mount, allowing the TV to sit securely onto the wall.
