SlydLock Fireplace Nook TV Mount - Fits All Plasma/LCD/LED Tilt or Flat 32-80"

I am so happy I purchased this product! Like others who have left reviews, I have a TV nook over my fireplace and needed a solution that would allow me to hang a tv over the space. The fireplace is in the center of the wall, so there is really no other place for the TV to go. This mount is perfect!The instructions were pretty straight forward. My only recommendation would be to include color pictures in future instruction manuals instead of the black and white ones.I hesitated a bit in buying this because I needed to mount an 82 inch TV and I think somewhere it says that the mount can accommodate up to 75 inches. I figured my LG 82 inch would be fine since: 1) LG TVs conform to VESA standards; and 2) Even though the TV is larger than the recommended 75 inches, it's weight is well within the limits of the mount.I am so happy this product exists because I DID NOT want to have to buy a TV stand to put in front of my fireplace. It would have looked terrible and ruined the openess of our living room.I did think the price for this mount was a little high, but you can see that it didn't stop me from buying it. Lol. I wanted my TV mounted more than I wanted this product to cost less.My friend installed the mount and then did a pull-up on it (he weighs 175!). It held his weight just fine and it made me even more confident that it would hold our tv just fine.Awesome product and definitely solved a unique problem!

Before buying this TV mount, I had issues upgrading the size of our TV due to limitations caused by the TV nook built into the home. The SlydLock fireplace nook TV mount solved that issue!The TV mount is built with thick steel and feels super solid when installed. It came with all the hardware to install any brand name LED television.Installation was straight forward (at least for me). It came with lag bolts necessary to mount the TV mound securely to the the studs. Having another person help out with installation made the process less straining which I recommend.The price is subjective, and I feel like the price I paid is worth it due to the quality of the product and how easy it was to install.Overall, great TV mount! I would highly recommend it to people with TV nooks who want to upgrade the size of their TV!

This mount was exactly what I needed for my TV niche that I had over my fireplace. The person who was going to mount the TV was going to use an extended arm mount and then make a brace for the arm to rest on to help support the weight of the TV. This Mount is made for exactly what we needed without having to rig some kind of brace so I’m happy to pay a bit more than a regular TV mount and not have to worry about it.

We live in a home built in the late 90s with a classic above-fireplace TV nook. Ever since we moved in 8 years ago, we've had a 50 inch HDTV that fit perfect. However, I was recently given a 60" flatscreen that is about 4-5" too wide to fit.I thought about building a 2x4 frame, but aesthetically I didn't like the way that would look unless I ALSO finished the frame and painted or stained it. I wanted a better, possibly manufactured option, and I kept seeing this Slyd-Lock system come up. The price shocked me but my family was insistent that we look into it.After finally getting a chance to install it, it went far easier than expected, and the frame seems sturdy enough to handle even the biggest TVs as there are 3 hefty lagbolts on each end that carry the weight of the TV into the home's frame.- Included all parts needed, as well as extra bolts and standoffs in all sizes to accommodate the mounting frame hooks to different types of TVs.Tools used:- Marking Pencil- Level- Studfinder (most nooks have a big 2x4 frame around the face, but you need to be sure)- Tape measure and square- Drill with bits for prepping pilot holes.- 1/2" socket and wrench.- A helper for lifting the frame into place and hanging the TV.

The Slydlock is a great choice for mounting today's larger flat screen televisions within space-limited nooks. My previous television was a 53" plasma that fit perfectly with-in the available space, with less than a 1/2" gap on either side. No one makes these odd-ball screen sizes anymore. The 50" models were swallowed up in the nook, and nothing larger would fit. The Slydlock allowed me to buy and mount this Hisense 55" U8G (great television, btw) which is ~1" wider than the nook. The mount is beefy and strong; I have no concerns that it can handle the load. Two persons are needed for installation.; my wife assisted me with its installation and lifting the television into place. Mounting instructions are easy enough to follow. And yes, it can handle larger, heavier televisions.

I want to still be able to use the niche for storage but needed to put a modern TV in. I put in a 65" TV and everything looks great. Most niches like the instructions say have a stud at the front of the nice, so find that stud and secure in the brackets. It's pretty simple to install everything else after that. The tilt adjustment was really neat to keep it level so I don't get crazy with OCD.
