When i mount my 42" plasma tv is it just supposed to hang loose Are the brackets just supposed to lay on mount

Question

Am i just supposed to lay the two brackets on the metal mount? I feel like its so easy for it to fall like that. The instructions are really horrible for my mount. How did you mount your plasma tv? Please help me i don't want my new tv to fall and brake!!!

So far i have the brackets attached to the back of the tv and the mount is hanging on the wall!!! Now when i want to attach the two I don't know what to do to make sure it's secure. The whole reason i bought the mount was so that in case an earthquake happened my tv wouldnt fall and break. But it seems like it could slide off really easily.

Am i over reacting or should i be worried?

I feel like it should be screwed secure to the mount but I have no idea what im doing!!!

Answer 1

Every mount I've ever seen includes a set s***w for each bracket. Once these set screws are properly secured there is NO way for your TV to accidentally fall from the mount.
