In general, Promenaid brackets must be attached to studs, masonry, or equivalent wall structure. Attaching to drywall alone is not sufficient. There are a few possible exceptions:
- Attaching to drywall may be acceptable if a bracket is purely decorative, i.e. installed for symmetry where sufficient brackets attached to wall structure exist. In these cases, #12 Triple-Grip wall anchors are recommended for Promenaid pivoting brackets
- If the drywall is reinforced, for example doubled or tripled, and/or the number of brackets is increased to provide equivalent overall strength to an installation on studs. In these cases, Snaptoggle-type toggle bolts are recommended for Promenaid pivoting brackets
Sprocketlock brackets, or Promenaid Pivoting brackets with Wall Adapters, will allow for additional mounting options because the fasteners are hidden in the final installation. Heavy-duty drywall fasteners that may provide additional strength include larger Snaptoggle bolts, and Moen Securemount anchors
