I am running out of space a little in my workshop, last week I had 7 machines on the bench and the monitors I have on my bench were getting in the way.

I have since upgraded the electrics with a nice long bar of sockets which gets rid of the need for extension leads. My next task is to fit two monitor wall mounts onto my wall. The problem is it says I must drill into 60mm deep, if I drilled less than this would it be too insecure?

I am a little worried about drilling than deep on a rented workshop in case I mess up the wall on the other office behind mine :mad: My T&Cs state I can drill into walls providing I cover up the holes afterwards.
 
The walls aren't going to be that thin. 50mm is only 2 inches. Put a piece of tape on the drill bit so you only go in as far as you need to.
