Can these be nailed into the wall or do you have to use screws? I need something like this to mount in drywall and would like to simply nail it in.

This item comes with screws. I used a Phillips screwdriver to screw each screw into the drywall. Nails simply will not give you the same holding ability that screws give; I'm guessing that's why they send it with screws--I don't recommend nailing this to drywall; invest a couple of dollars on a screwdriver.

If you are going into drywall, you will have to use some kind of Molly/toggle bolt. Plain nails will eventually pull out.

Check Monoprice.com for brackets. I just flush mounted them to my walls with screws.

Mine came with screws. My husband mounted it to the wall. Maybe you should return it to get proper hardware. Once mounted, you are going to love it!

They're like Hercules Hooks, so they are meant to work in drywall. Not sure they could pierce paneling, plus they need a hollow space behind (like drywall has) to work... Unfortunately if a stud is in the way they don't work, which I figured out pretty quickly.

Yes, screws that can be used for wall studs or with heavy duty dry wall anchors. Just need a power drill, bits& Phillips head to install

It screws into the top of the unit and screws into the wall. I looked and I have a drywall type anchor in the wall - I cannot remember if it came with or I just did it myself. It is very 'tipsy' so you absolutely need to do this or it may tip over! (I hid the wall mount with a stack of towels on top :)

I had to mount it into sheetrock. So I didn't use the provided screws. I used sheetrock anchors that I bought from the hardware store. It slides onto the screw heads so you can use whatever length or type of screw you need.

There are no screws or nails. you just slide it onto your rail. I did not have a good experience with these. I hung potted plants on them and due to the weight the hanger started prying up the rail. I have no more use for them.

They are not set up to be wall mounted. You would have to drill holes on your own and could do it. Need to make sure they are in a stud though as they are heavy duty shelves and have a good bit of weight even when empty.

I didn't use the screws with the set. I went to Home Depot and got some screw-in type wall anchors that came with their own screws.

The nails do not have heads. Not recommended for dry wall. Use screws or a nailer which uses bigger head nails and adjustable air pressure so not to damage the drywall. I would use screws with a drill.

I had thought about using screws myself, but it is a bit difficult to try and keep the "flap" open while trying to drill holes and putting screws in. If you try it, I'd use very very flat head screws. I just used thin wood .... I believe even popsicle sticks would do....pre-drill small holes in them, use little tacks to minimize damage to walls....then use the tape again the popsicle sticks, avoiding the adhesive on your drywall.

I would think that screwing to the wall is the only way. It would have to be a very strong adhesive/epoxy otherwise and that would do more damage to the wall than the screws. Screw holes can be filled easily enough.

depends on what your screwing into.If drywall then drywall screws with anchors.Into a stud use wood screws.

Hi You can mount these things anywhere. Use sheet rock screws to tack it down... 3-4inch length screws, this type of screw that stays where you put it and its so easy, just drive it right through the plastic frame into the structure, easiest with a drill with bit. These are good motion lights, most lights are blind and useless, these pick up all motions. I have 3 extra for replacements.

The screws can be used in drywall as long as you are willing to remove the drywall if you want to take the TV from the mount. THIS MOUNT IS PERMANENT, please read reviews to make sure you understand what you are committing to prior to installing this product.
