How to Mount a Flat Screen on a Fireplace Mantel
Things You'll Need
Instructions
1Hold the wall-mount bracket up to the spot on your fireplace mantel where you want it, and then use a pencil or pen to mark the locations for the anchor screws.
2
Drill holes for the anchor screws in the fireplace mantel, using a power drill with a masonry drill bit. Next, insert plastic anchors into the holes.
3
Reposition the wall-mount bracket on your fireplace mantel and secure it in place by tightening the screws that came with the wall mounting kit into the plastic anchors in the anchor holes.
4
Connect the TV bracket included with the wall mounting kit to the back of your flat screen TV, using the included screws and a screwdriver, and then connect the TV bracket to the wall-mount bracket on your fireplace mantel. It should click in place and include a screw for securing the two pieces together.
5
Route your TV cords on the wall to your audio/video devices to complete the process of mounting your flat screen TV to your fireplace mantlel. If necessary, use zip ties, twist ties, a staple gun and/or masking tape to secure the cords to the wall so they don't get too close to your fireplace.
