High-Rise & Commercial Specialist

Professional TV Mounting on Metal Studs

Don't risk your OLED on thin metal studs. We specialize in secure, high-rise, and commercial-grade installations that standard handymen won't touch. Buildings taller than 5 floors almost always have metal studs for fire safety. We handle metal stud mounting at no extra charge, though we recommend fixed or tilting mounts for TVs over 65 inches.

Why Metal Studs Need Special Hardware

Standard mounting hardware fails on metal studs. Here's what makes our installation different.

Wood Stud Method

Standard Lag Bolts

3.5" wood studs provide plenty of depth for lag bolts to grip securely. This is the traditional method.

Solid Wood Connection

Bolts bite directly into solid wood, creating a strong, reliable hold for TVs of any size.

Common in Homes

Most single-family homes and older buildings have wood studs—the standard for residential construction.

DIY Risks

Why DIY Metal Stud Mounting Often Fails

Metal studs require specialized knowledge and hardware. Here's what typically goes wrong with DIY installations—and why professional service is worth every penny.

Wrong Hardware

Using standard drywall anchors or wood screws on metal studs. These pull through within weeks, causing your TV to fall.

Risk: TV falls, $2,000+ in damage

Can't Find Studs

Consumer stud finders fail on metal studs. Drilling random holes damages walls and wastes hours of frustration.

Risk: 10+ holes, drywall repair needed

Over-Tightening Bolts

Metal studs are hollow and thin. Over-tightening crushes the stud, stripping threads and destroying load capacity.

Risk: Mount becomes unstable over time

Crooked Installation

Without laser levels and experience, TVs end up tilted. Once mounted, re-leveling requires new holes and patches.

Risk: Permanent eyesore, costly redo

Electrical Hazards

Drilling into walls without checking for electrical wires. Metal conducts electricity—one wrong hole can be deadly.

Risk: Electrical shock, fire hazard

Underestimating Weight

"It's only 50 lbs" ignores torque and leverage. A 55" TV pulls 200+ lbs of force when extended on a full-motion mount.

Risk: Catastrophic mount failure
