I would recommend using a toggle bolt rated for twice the weight capacity as the mount and TV combined. (Mount, 15 lbs + TV, 25 lbs = 40 lbs. Toggle bolts should have 80 lb. capacity) Mount the toggle bolt into the wall stud. You can get them at any Home Depot.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. You may could use a fine threaded fastener but I would recommend a toggle bolt for extra assurance. Not knowing the gauge of the metal studs go with the toggle bolts to be safe.
