TV Mounting in Cary: What to Know Before You Drill
How to choose a TV mount, find studs, hide cords and pick the right height, plus when to hire a handyman in Cary, NC.
Pick the right mount
Fixed mounts sit flat and work best at eye level. Tilting mounts help when the TV is higher, like above a fireplace. Full-motion mounts let you swing the screen toward different seats.
Check that the mount is rated for your TV's weight and matches its VESA hole pattern.
Anchor into studs
Most TVs should be mounted into wood studs, not just drywall. Use a stud finder and confirm with a small test hole. Brick and stone need masonry anchors.
Height and cords
A good rule is to put the center of the screen near eye level when seated. Cord covers are a simple way to hide cables; running power inside the wall needs a proper in-wall kit.
When to call a pro
If you're mounting over a fireplace, onto masonry, or a large TV, a handyman can make sure it's level, secure and cleanly finished.
