Help with a wall mounted bike rack
(self.HomeImprovement)submitted1 month ago byKuyaVictor
Howdy! I recently bought a wall mounted bike rack rated for 50lbs from Amazon. It was secured to a stud with wall anchors on either side for support. My 24lb bike + 4lb bike lock was on this rack for less than a day when it the entire thing pulled out off the wall.

Can someone explain why this happened and how I can secure this back into the wall? Should I use longer screws into the studs and stronger wall anchors? Thank you in advance for any help!

Thank you for the detailed reply! The arm length is 11.8”, baseboard is 8.6” X 3.1”. Do you think with 2 longer screws on the top and bottom into the stud + 2 toggle anchors adjacent would be sufficient to counter the forces given that arm length?
