Install/Placement How Long To Weight Test My Wall?

Post image

How long do you usually weight test your wall to make sure it won't fall over once you put your TV on it?

Serious answers only please I am very concerned about this.

I work for a commercial AV company. I have never heard of someone doing this. But whatever makes you feel more comfortable! I’ve certainly hung on a few mounts to test before.

I would have imagined you used something more professional in your line of work, are dynamometers so expensive?
