In the beginning, the major measurements are needed. You have to calculate meticulously the distance between all four holes for mounting the screen, as well as the length of the guide rails distance. Remember that old rule, measure twice, drill once.

The second important step for your TV lift is making the frame to affix the TV screen on it. Welding a rectangular square of channels of appropriate size or create a mounting plate, depending on which material you’ve chosen.

After making the frame for your TV, do the relevant marking on the surface of the back wall of the cabinet or the screen holder which it will be attached. If the surface to hold your guide rails is the wall, you will have to install the dowels first. After that, you will have to attach guide rails to it with screws. Before starting the next stage of work, it is worth checking once again how well the TV screen carriage drives along the guides. If necessary, the profile edges of the guide rails should be bent a bit with pliers.

Now, the TV screen needs to be attached to a bracket with a pulley and small cable. This must be connected to a linear actuator powered to an electric motor through the electric relay. The mechanism for your TV screen lift is set from inside of the pedestal or cabinet if it must be raised from below. Optionally, it can also go into the ceiling if the screen must be lifted to be hidden behind it.
