Secure The Mounting Brackets

• Screwdriver
• Drill and its bits
• Ceiling mount
• Ladder
• Fasteners
• Stud finder
• Socket wrench

Once you have these, you need to inspect the back of your TV. This is because every TV will have a different place for securing the mount. Find the mounting slots. When you find them, secure the brackets by aligning it with the slots.

Use the fasteners to secure the bracket in the slot. They should be secure and not lose at all. This is why you need to ensure they are firm and tight.

Attach The Ceiling Mounting Plate
Grab a ladder and stud finder to reach the ceiling. Use it to find the studs on your ceiling and mark them. After that, if you want your wiring to be invisible then you need to drill holes into your ceiling so the wired can provide power without being in sight.
Next, you need to attach the ceiling mount to your ceiling studs. Utilize the drill to attach the mounting plate to the studs. If your mount needs to bolts then you will have to use a socket wrench instead to fasten it.

Once this is done you need to ensure that the plate is attached firmly.

Mount The TV On The Ceiling
Follow the instructions of the mount you bought to fasten it to the mounting plate. This is because instructions will vary for every mount. Once you do, you need to attach the TV mounting bracket to the extension.

This may cause some difficulty, so it is better you have a helping hand during this stage. Use the fastener to ensure the TV is secure and in place.

After you are done assembly, check if your TV is firm. This is because if it is loose or it wobbles then you need to make sure all the screws and fasteners are tight before you use it. And you are done!
