TV bracket mount

GrantLichtman · 04-27-2022, 10:18 AM

I have a 2019 Isata 3 FW with Jensen 32 in TV's in both the living and sleeping areas. We want to replace with smart TV's. The TV in the bedroom has a spring mount that makes it easy to lift the TV off of the wall. The TV over the door appears to be different and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it off the wall. it is not a swivel mount. It is very tight to the wall so hard to get a hand behind it, but I cannot feel any spring release or any hand-screw of any kind. The right side and top are very tight to cabinet and ceiling so no access at all behind the TV. Has anyone removed this TV, and how?? Thanks!!

Moved to the Dynamax sub-forum since the OP is asking for model-specific help.

Pretty sure that mount is a "Key hole" mount. You have to give the bottom of the TV a quick/sharp bump UP to get it up out of the slot.
Either that, or look from the sides to see if you can see any screws.

Thanks, bClemens for the suggestion. I pushed and abruptly punched upward on the bottom of the TV and...nothing. I gave it several very sharp jolts. Do you have any other suggestions, or someone I can connect with at Dynamax? Someone in the installation group must know the answer to this! I appreciate it!!

Well, I am with Dynamax. We are just using a swivel bracket today. This question has also been asked and answered...let me try the search and see if I can find the old posts.

Thanks so much. The bracket on this TV has at least one piece of L-iron screwed into the wall. It is not a center plate mount with the spring release like in the bedroom area. I have confirmed that the original owners did not replace this TV or the bracket so it must have come installed with this one. Not a swivel and not a center plate mount; at least one horizontal piece of L-iron between the wall and the TV. Thanks for digging deeper with me; probably a Dynamax Nobel Prize in this for you if you figure it out!

It is either a keyhole mount....newer, or the older ones the TV just sat on a ledge and there was a screw from the side that held an angle bracket into place. When you remove that angle/bar, the TV slides right up and off.

GrantLichtman · 04-27-2022, 04:24 PM

Can you direct me to where I should be looking for that screw and the angle bar? Which side of the TV and about where relative to the bottom of the TV? If there is a screw holding the TV to the angle bar it must be in a place where the screw can be accessed or it never could have been attached in the first place. Unless of course the screw/angle piece is on the right side (facing the TV) and the TV was mounted BEFORE the kitchen cabinets, which restrict access to that side. If that is the case, that is a really bad design, so let's hope you might be able to direct me to that screw. Thanks so much!!

Do you have a cab over or non cab-over, what year, what floor plan? can you post a picture?

A picture from the side, showing the mount would be good too, just in case. I understand it will be tight.

I found this on FB confirming what I "thought".

"there are two screws holding on the mounting bar. Lower left and right sides at the very edge of the TV. Removing those screws allows the TV to be lifted off the split rail/cleat"

Again a picture would help confirm

GrantLichtman · 04-27-2022, 04:46 PM

I have attached a picture from behind the right side of the TV. We cannot feel or see any screws along the edge of the TV that attaches to the L-iron bar you can see, or to any other part of the bracket. Am I looking at it the wrong way? Thanks.

**bclemens** · 04-27-2022, 04:52 PM

can you shoot straight on from the side? For a profile of the mount?

This is on the wall just above the door area correct?

GrantLichtman · 04-27-2022, 04:54 PM

Sorry; that photo needed to rotate 90 degrees to the right! The black bar is horizontal.

GrantLichtman · 04-27-2022, 04:57 PM

The bar is horizontal; the picture is shot lying down in the bunk-over-cab. The TV is right over the entry door.

GrantLichtman · 04-27-2022, 05:03 PM

And I can't get a picture from any other angle. The TV is tight to the kitchen cabinets on the right, the door frame on the bottom, and the ceiling on the top. I can squeeze my hand in up from the bottom along the right side up to the point where my hand hits that angle iron of the bracket. But can't really get a camera up there

I can access those two screws, so I will try this. Do you know if I will be able to re-attach this mount to the wall using the same screws? Or with a new TV should I plan on attaching a new mount to the wall? Thanks for all of your help!

Finally found that bracket....we had to go way back.

The TV bracket part has tabs that fit into the one on the wall. It sits down into the slide and then there is a screw on the bottom that ties the two together.

So if you pull that bottom, middle screw, the TV slides up and out.

I'd also like to replace the front TV fixed mount with a swivel mount in my 2019 RW. This has me close. Is there any info on the swivel mount used on newer model years? Any update from the OP or anyone else that may have done it? In my case, primarily to get enough clearance to put a tension curtain rod at ceiling height but there's not quite enough space between the TV and the valance.
