Common wall types

Single-family houses and apartments in Sunsweet

Where: The Sunsweet neighborhood, with Holt Boulevard as its main artery.

Mounting: Drywall on studs in most houses; apartments often use metal or wood studs with fire-rated drywall.

Neighborhood houses near Mission Boulevard and Ramona Avenue

Where: The southwest corner of town, where owner-occupied homes are common.

Mounting: Stucco exteriors with drywall interiors; 16-inch stud spacing is typical.

Condos

Where: Condo complexes dating to the early 1980s near the Montclair Plaza area.

Mounting: Shared walls and association rules; use toggles or blocking and ask for approval.

Mobile home parks

Where: Parks such as Hacienda, Monterey Manor, Northern Lights, Sunset Trailer Grove and Villa Montclair.

Mounting: Thin panels with wide framing; locate studs and add blocking or a spreader plate.

Tips before you mount

• Mobile and manufactured homes have thin wall panels; find the framing, add blocking for any mount heavier than a small fixed bracket, and never rely on drywall anchors for a full-motion arm.
• Condo and apartment buyers should check association or lease rules and get written approval and a COI before drilling into shared walls.
• Stucco houses mount into interior studs: lag bolts 5/16" by 2.5" to 3" into two studs on 16" centers.
• Inland Empire summer heat can exceed indoor TV operating limits on patios; use an outdoor-rated TV with shade.
• Santa Ana winds blow dust and ash into open patios; keep outdoor TVs covered and vents clean.
• Earthquake safety: use locking mounts and strap furniture-mounted TVs; the San Jose fault runs nearby.
