That laugh in the background was priceless! May I suggest having your sonic screwdriver taken in for maintenance? LOL! Seriously, I have grown to truly appreciate all you have shared with us! Thank you!
Hi. Great videos thanks and just watched the other video where you demonstrated expansion bolts. Please can anyone here help - I notice you are using spacers to fill the void between solid wall and plasterboard but I don’t quite understand how this is being applied. Thanks.
I appreciate you this video is old. I have a 56kg 86 inch tv to put onto Dot Dab wall. What’s the best way to do this? Is it using corefix or cutting the wall to put ply wood in the attach to ply wood??
If you are unsure about fixing onto plasterboard sections of the d&d youcould locate the solid dab areas, mark them on a card template then transfer to the wall plate. You then drill your own screw holes on the plate if theres not one in position over a dab. Then use regular wall plugs. This method would only work with a largish plate bracket.
Nice video. Today I got all the stuff to fit a TV to a masonry wall only to discover it's a dot and dab wall with a cavity before the brickwork. I'm sure there's a lesson there... Anyway, reassuring to know it's possible to do it, however in this instance I think I'm just going to return the wall mount cos my wife gets bothered about holes in the wall.
Looking at installing my 65" 21kg TV with six of the corefix dot and dab specific fittings. Oddly alot of brackets say not suitable for dot and dab walls, I would think that was a fixings issue not the bracket. Do you think 6 of the 100mm corefix fittings would suffice?
How would you recommend putting a tv mount onto a brick wall that has a layer of insulation board and plasterboard too? There is prob around 40mm before hitting the brick.
@@jpjwds I ended using these as I didn't get a reply here. They worked perfectly and you don't need any type of plug. www.screwfix.com/p/easydrive-countersunk-concrete-screws-7-5-x-100mm-100-pack/3839h
Great video. Unfortunately come a little late. I put a 65" tv on the wall with gripit fixings and it fell off!. I have ordered some sleeve anchors. My wall is dot and dab. You mentioned spacers to protect the plasterboard. What do you recommend? Do they come with the anchors? Lastly a tilt and turn wall bracket for 65" tv are sleeve anchors the best fitting
Would this method be good to hang a 20kg tv on drywall hung with furring strips to a cinder block wall? There is about a 1/2 inch gap in between the drywall and the cinder block. If not, do you have any recommendations? Thanks for the videos!
Hi mate, I've a 55" TV. Would that be too heavy for this kind of wall? The bracket is tiny, like the size of an iPhone. With the bracket being so small, do you think it will be too much weight for such a small area? Thanks in advance
How much of the wll anchor is actually in the solid wall behind? doesn't look like you have drilled far enough in ! it looks like there is not much bearing on the anchor.
What size shield anchors did you use? I need to hang a 58” 24kg tv on a dot n Dab wall, I’d feel safer with a greater load capacity. Seems like my plasterboard and cavity might be approx 25 ml together...
Hey Andy... Can I ask why you drill a hole using a standard masonry bit then use a flat wood bit to cut a bigger piece out of the drywall? Can this not just be done with the one masonry bit and bang in the bolt? Cheers.
Hy, I'm fitting TV brackets to plaster boards and the studs are the aluminium studs which can't be fixed to so only method is plasterboard fixings. Iv used the self drive metal ones which you screw in wall and they make their own whole then you screw the screw it comes with into. Are these strong enough? If I use 4 to 6 per bracket?
Don't use spiral self screwing fittings - they're terrible. Depending on the weight I'd just go for the expanding drywall fittings with a setting tool - they're rated to around 15kg each. 👍
Can you help..... If I get asked to box in pipes or something and need to attach the 3x2 battons or even 2x2 battons to a plasterboard wall, how do I do it? The standard drywall screws which are great but obviously won't be longer enough to pass through the batton and into the wall?
You can counterbore the 2x2 so enough of the threaded end comes through. In all honestly probably overkill for most boxing and you might get away with plastic plugs with 10ga screws and also some grab adhesive on the 2x2's. 👍
I have an Ikea fold away kitchen table with a swing arm that I have mounted underneath the only window in my 100 year old, lath & plaster kitchen. The Mounting area is a "T" shape, with one screw on each end and a 2" perpendicular piece down the center with two screws.I have it well anchored on a stud on one side, and in the center, but the left side keeps pulling out of the wall because there is no stud there. Even this last time using a large Phillips head toggle bolt, it gradually pulled out. Any ideas on how to get that side to stay affixed to the wall? I thought about attaching a large piece 1/4" plywood to the wall first so it covers the next stud, and to give the toggle bolt more to bite into. Does anyone have any better solution?
Over kill. Seems like u have a concrete wall behind the plaster board. All u needed was some 10 gauge 3 inch screws and some brown plugs. Making sure u hit the plugs in past the plaster board and into the concrete blocks. If was thermal block wall the use the square anchors. No need to drill just hammer them in.
Yes it looks like a standard expansion bolt which can be used for concrete masonry etc but you are using some sort of cap for the plasterboard which is a good idea to stop the bolt from damaging the plasterboard. I recently came across Rigifix fixings for dot and dab walls which seem to be essentially an internally threaded expansion bolt within a sleeve which seem like the same thing. buyrigifixonline.co.uk/ They are expensive though at about a pound a fixing and your method seems like a cheaper option. Where do you get the caps for the bolts from do you have a product name I could look up? Helpful video though gave me the inspiration to try to hang my tv on my dot and dab plaster board walls! Thanks!
Ah, yes - just nylon spacers left over from putting many, many TV brackets up! :-) I think you can buy them separately off eBay and the like. Also check out www.corefixed.com/
When you knock on these walls, some areas will sound dense (that's where the plaster is behind the cavity wall) and so the other parts of the wall will sound hollow

the Core fixings you recommended on your website are amazing!

So the third hole needs to be different and drilled on a slant then??

When you dropped the screw.......hilarious !!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎
Honestly, it's harder to get those screws in than hanging the damn TV! :-)

Came here with the same question!

Where do you get the spacers from?
What would you use on a plasterboard internal wall to fix TV?

How heavy was TV, aren't those fittings rated for like 100kgs between 4?

The bracket is tiny, like the size of an iPhone.

Thanks in advance
Could you not use 100-120mm screws and plus just the same?
what is that screwdriver with the clamp on it? it looks super useful, woundn't mind one. cheers!

I think they were 8 x 60mm (14mm hole) but have a look at this vid... th-cam.com/video/ZlwDizJfPHI/w-d-xo.html
Thank you very much sir!
Hi, i am installing a handrail on stairs with d & d, could i use this method for the brackets?
Hello was wondering is this the most secure way, is it better than hanging from the stud(only 1 stud they are quite far apart) i have a 49' tv
This is a solid wall so no studs. On a hollow wall always go from studs if poss. 👍
Hey Andy... Can I ask why you drill a hole using a standard masonry bit then use a flat wood bit to cut a bigger piece out of the drywall? Can this not just be done with the one masonry bit and bang in the bolt? Cheers.
Need the spacers to stop the cavity in the dot & dab from collapsing. 👍
Where do you get spacers from? What type of spacers are they?
Hy, I'm fitting TV brackets to plaster boards and the studs are the aluminium studs which can't be fixed to so only method is plasterboard fixings.
Iv used the self drive metal ones which you screw in wall and they make their own whole then you screw the screw it comes with into. Are these strong enough? If I use 4 to 6 per bracket?

Awesome job just wondering where do you get those spacers from? Many Thanks Lee
He said in another video he just saves spares from TV bracket installs but you can buy them off amazon.
Can you help.....

You can counterbore the 2x2 so enough of the threaded end comes through. In all honestly probably overkill for most boxing and you might get away with plastic plugs with 10ga screws and also some grab adhesive on the 2x2's. 👍
Gosforth Handyman thanks for the tip
Hello, The cavity between my Drywall and masonry is 6.5 inches. What's the best method here?
There must be studs so treat it as a stud wall. 👍
On this type of wall can you use the big thick plastic type wall plugs that come in the fitting kits?
I wouldn't particularly advise it unless they're very long as the dot & dab adds about 30mm distance to cover. 👍
Thank you 😊

What kind of bolts was those I have a 55 going on concrete wall
What could I use if I have insulated plasterboard 60ml dot and dab
Why even the bolts if it’s in studs.

Making sure u hit the plugs in past the plaster board and into the concrete blocks. If was thermal block wall the use the square anchors. No need to drill just hammer them in.

Wall bolts - sometimes called shield anchors.

half a job, where's the mains plug , dvd player & the sky box wires
It looks fine until you have a collection of the required cables hanging from the TV which convinces me to use a stand.
What is DOT & DAB ??
It's basically plasterboard / drywall glued to the wall (normally blocks) with dabs of plaster.
When you knock on these walls, some areas will sound dense (that's where the plaster is behind the cavity wall) and so the other parts of the wall will sound hollow
