Disappearing TV with Pop Up TV Lift Mounted Behind Furniture

Step 7Attach the TV to the Lift System

Attach the TV to the Lift System
There are 2 vertical mounting bars that came with the TV Lift. All flat panel TV's have 4 threaded insert-holes on the back, so we used those holes and bolted the mounting bars to the back of the TV.

The bolts that fit the holes on the back of the TV are the same bolts that attach the pedestal base to the bottom of the TV. Once we removed the base, we had the right bolts for attaching the mounting bars.

The bars were great because they have multiple mounting holes, and hanging-hooks at three different height positions, so that made it easy to fine-tune the height of the TV.

Once the mounting bars were installed, all that was left to do was hang the TV on the lift. We adjusted the height so that, in the retracted position, the bottom of the TV is about 3/4" off the ground, and never touches.
