Tips before you mount

• Historic buildings: Moorish Revival decorative plaster and tile are hard to replace, so use removable fixtures and avoid drilling through ornament.
• Thick masonry: use a hammer drill and 1/4 inch concrete screws or 3/8 inch sleeve anchors in solid material, avoiding mortar joints.
• Older plaster and wiring: have an electrician check original wiring before adding in-wall circuits.
• Metal studs: use snap toggles or blocking.
• Hurricane zone: Miami-Dade uses high-velocity hurricane zone rules, so secure or remove outdoor TVs before storms.
• Hidden power: NEC 400.12 forbids concealing a standard cord, so use an in-wall rated kit and CL2 or CL3 cable.
