This product is called the ‘No stud hanger’ by Hangman and it fits up to 80 pounds between 26-55 inches. For this DIY mounting, you need a screwdriver, hammer, and a few nails instead of screws. The package comes with a wall bracket, a TV bracket, nails, a bunch of screws, and a security cable.
TV mounting screws:
- unscrew the back of the TV to remove the screws
- fit the screw into the hole on the back of TV

Drill And stud-free Mount [With No Visible Wires]
TV dimensions: Width: 11 inches Height: 16 inches
Measure the length of the wrapping paper and mark it on the wall. Place the measuring tape at the bottom of the wrapping paper and measure 17 inches. Now, place it at the top of the wrapping paper and mark the same length on it. The marked point is where you place the nails for hanger. Some TV studs come with a built-in level, so make sure to arrange one if you have one.
Nail the TV to the wall using level and check it with each nail going into the wall. Bolt it solidly to the drywall with every single nail that comes with the package.
Hiding The Cables:
The traditional table management system can be a bit of a pain. With the painter’s tape, you can only use it if there are multiple cables to hide. If you have multiple cables, it’s better to use something like a chord management system or kit. You get grooves, connectors, and sliders within it.
To hide cables behind your TV, cut grooves in the back of the TV stand and slide the connectors into them. The grooves are easy to cut with scissors, so measure how much cable you’re hiding and cut accordingly. The cut area will go underneath the TV so it doesn’t look raggedy. ..
TV chord system:
- Peel the back of the TV and remove the stand.
- Place the TV on its back with the chord system facing down.
- Make sure to leave a little extra behind the TV so that when you slide the top, it slides easily up.
- Slide the top of the TV towards your wall, making sure to leave a little extra space between it and your wall.
- Now press against your wall with your hand so that the chord system is hidden from view
Conclusion:
TV mounting brackets are a must-have for any room with a TV. Make sure to review different bracket types before buying yours and begin to mount your TV. This will reduce any chances of damage to the TV and your wall.
