Tips before you mount

• Old Towne Orange: the district holds over 1,300 buildings, so confirm preservation rules before changing exteriors or running cable through original siding.
• Plaster walls in bungalows: find studs, pilot-drill without hammer mode, and lag in rather than relying on plaster anchors.
• Student and loft rentals around Chapman: get the landlord's written approval before mounting.
• Brick chimneys in older homes: avoid mounting heavy TVs on or above unreinforced masonry.
• Seismic: strap consoles and anchor into studs.
• Inland heat: outdoor TVs need shade and a rated operating range.
• In-wall runs: use an in-wall rated recessed power kit instead of routing a regular TV cord through the wall (NEC 400.12), with CL2/CL3 rated cable for HDMI and speakers.
