Don’t be alarmed by the bomb in the icon. We just want to get your attention because making an error could be costly.

This is not really very technical stuff, just some details you need to really pay attention to.

Foolish Assumptions

Although our easy-to-install mounts and instructions simplify the process, mounting your TV still requires great care. We assume you’re someone who, at minimum, has done odd jobs around the house and has some basic tools. You don’t need to be a master carpenter or electrician to install this mount. With that said, if at any time you feel that you are uncertain or uncomfortable with doing the installation yourself, don’t hesitate to call on a handyman or professional contractor/installer.
