I just received a samsung tv for the bedroom went to mount it on the brand new Brateck mount .....no screws

I thought they would be in the back of the tv . It wouldn't be an issue but they are not a standard screw it seems

anyone else had this issue? they look like a long thin screw/bolt its a samsung 32" t5300

Thanks

PS of course Noel leemings said they should come wit the bracket not the tv !!

I agree with Noel Leeming. The TV manufacturers don’t supply mounting hardware for brackets. The bracket would normally be supplied with a variety of hardware that fits the vast majority of TVs.

Where did you get the bracket from?

I only usually buy sonys and they have always had the screws in them. It is a brateck mount from Dynamix. plenty of screws but none that fitted

find that hard to believe, there are normally about 50 add screws in the previous brackets ive brought. and they are normally standard sizes.

I guess you need something like these Samsung Tv Wall Mounting Screws UE32T5300 T5300 New M4 to fit 26mm - 28mm SCREWS | eBay

Both my Sony and LG TV's came with the correct screws.

NL are correct. A TV will come with any screws needed to attach its suppled table-stand. The screws needed to attach a third-party wall-mount bracket come with the bracket.

I have mounted a lot of TVs with third-party brackets and this is always the case. Brackets generally come with a range of standard 4/6/8mm VESA-compliant machine screws (with washers) of varying lengths to cater for most TVs you’re going to use the bracket with. Also usually a range of plastic stand-offs/spacers to match differing TV thicknesses.

If your mount is brand-new, check the packaging to make sure the packet of screws isn’t still in there. If it’s not there, it should be - so go back to where you bought it and ask why they aren’t there. Brateck mounts do come with a range of standard screws. You normally get about ten times the number of screws you actually need because most of the screws are a size you don’t need.

I have bought several LG TVs in recent years and if you’re talking about screws to attach a wall mount to the TV, they do not come with with the TV.

Its possible that the screws supplied to fix the stand to the bottom of the TV could also fit the wall mount. Have you tried them?

Somewhere buried in the manual, should be the spec for the VESA screws,

(but as mentioned by others they are going to be standard M series machine screws usually 4/6/8mm at a varied length,)

So we have a winner!

It turns out that , you are not going to believe this , On your bathroom vanity the handles are likely held on by screws. Those screws are the exact match for the samsung tv mounts.

This will do for a temporary measure to hold the tv.

available trademe

The ones on TM are snap offs for the length adjustment

I will still search out the correct ones as they should also have a "collar" that sits in the hole.

Anyway enough time spent on this project

thanks for help yet again

For anyone with a bigger Sammy TV who comes this way we have two 55s and a 75 and they all take M8 metric bolts.

One Samsung drawing I've seen has the 26 - 28mm after the bracket thickness ie start with a 30mm screw. A VESA 100 x 100 mount should be M4 so forum posts saying M3 are a mystery. Maybe by now some tvs have fallen off the wall 😀

A 32T5300 only weighs about 4kg. A normal M4 without the break off grooves would be best but M4 is plenty.

I agree but that is the size that screws into the nut that is located in the hole. The sheet that came with it also says M4
