How to remove the TV from the bracket on the wall

In modern times, when televisions became thin, there was an opportunity to save space. Now devices can be mounted on walls or even on the ceiling. Most modern TV models have special recesses for mounting mounts. A bracket may be a good mount.

Advantages and disadvantages of such mounts

The bracket has its own advantages:

1. Suitable for any modern models.
2. The ability to pick up at will.
3. Save space. No need to put the device on the table or buy a bedside table.
4. You can fix the TV yourself.

But there are also disadvantages:

1. In the process of moving the device will have to be removed from the fasteners.
2. Lack of access to the back of the device. There are connectors. Therefore, in order to connect flash drives, tape recorders, a computer or a video player, the TV will have to be removed. Also access is needed in case of breakage. This is not very convenient.

How to remove the TV from the bracket on the wall

First you need to determine what type of bracket is used in our case. This is an important step, it depends on how exactly we will remove the device. There are several types:

1. Inclined. Very convenient view, allowing you to raise the device up or lower it down.
2. Inclined and rotary. The device can not only be raised or lowered, but also rotated to the sides.
3. Fixed. Do not allow to change the position of the device. On the other hand, they are easy to install, and are cheaper than others.
4. Movable. The best view. The device can be given any position. They allow you to avoid one of the most important drawbacks of mounts - blocking access to the rear panel. On the other hand, such mounts are quite expensive.
5. To the ceiling. From the name it’s obvious that the TV will be attached to the ceiling.

What is required for this

To remove the TV, you only need a screwdriver. It will be needed to dismantle the bolts on which the structure is mounted. The size of the screwdriver depends on the size of the bolts. You will also need a screwdriver if you need to attach the device into place (here you will need the removed bolts). For latched designs, no tools are needed. It is enough to squeeze them. When the design is without bolts and latches, improvised means are also not required and everything becomes even simpler. You should also prepare in advance a place where you can put the removed device.

Important points when working

The process of removing the TV depends on the type of design. There are several varieties, and the dismantling process may be slightly different. Most often, complete with fixtures there is an instruction that describes how to properly install and how to remove the device. There are also helpful tips on gaining access to the connectors on the rear panel. Therefore, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the instructions before starting work.

If there is no instruction (was not included or lost somewhere), you do not need to panic. The dismantling process is not complicated. Visually inspecting it, you can understand the principle of work.

Important! Naturally do not forget about security. The TV must be kept in the process. Therefore, it is advisable to ask for help (one person will hold the TV, and the other will engage in fixtures).

If the structure was damaged, you need to buy a new one. But it can be done at home, with your own hands. We need basic knowledge in construction and the following tools:

1. Mounting of wall cabinets.
2. Drill and drill.
3. Dowels or anchors.
4. Bolts and screws.
5. Level and tape measure.
6. Screwdriver.
7. Hacksaw.

Do-it-yourself construction as follows:

1. First you need to choose the appropriate fasteners from the cabinet. It must match the device. If necessary, cut the excess with a hacksaw.
2. If the holes in the design and the TV do not match, you need to make new ones. We use a drill.
3. By the same principle, we make the second accession.
4. We connect the first to the TV. Use a screwdriver to tighten the bolts.
5. We mark where exactly the dowels will be mounted on the wall.
6. Using a drill, make holes.
7. Install on the wall.
8. We do the same with the second.
9. We install fasteners in the grooves of the device.

Removing the TV from the bracket: step by step

The device is removed as follows:

1. Turn off the device.
2. Disconnect it from the network.
3. You can start shooting it. The design consists of several parts: the fasteners themselves, bolts (anchors or dowels) and special trims (screws). Most bracket models have two screws (right and left). In the bracket there are grooves for fastenings of clamps or latches. If bolts are used for fixing, they must be unscrewed. If the latches - squeeze them.
4. We lift the TV, and remove it from the structure on the wall.
5. Some designs have hanging laces (typical for snaps). If there are any, they must be pulled to open the latches.
6. There are also wall mounts in which there are no latches (that is, no bolts or latches). In this case, everything is simple, you just need to raise the TV, and remove it from the bracket.
7. The device is removed. To fix it, you need to do all the steps in reverse order.
8. If we need to remove the structure itself, we need to unscrew the fasteners that fix it on the wall.

Note! Bolts are most often located on the top of the TV or in the middle. The latches are on the bottom of the bar.

Removing the TV from the mounts is very simple. Even if you do not have instructions, visually inspecting the bracket, you can understand the principle of operation. Do not forget about safety.
