Tips before you mount

• Wood Streets bungalows and Craftsman houses are plaster over lath in many cases; expect brittle plaster and drill carefully.
• For plaster, locate studs with a finder, mark them, and use toggle bolts only for light TVs.
• In drywall-on-stud walls, use 5/16" lag bolts about 2.5" to 3" long into two studs.
• Historic properties may need review before exterior changes; ask the city about any exterior cabling.
• Riverside gets very hot summers; outdoor TVs need sun shielding and ventilation.
• Seismic: use locking mounts and straps for furniture-mounted TVs.
