In short. Mounting a TV, a shelf or a curtain rail in Agadir starts with knowing what the wall is made of before you drill. Adom (adom.ma) and the AdomApp app (adomapp.com) connect you with a professional on a personalised free quote, and you pay after the service.
Before you drill
Three questions to put to the wall, none of them technical.
- What is it? A solid wall or a light partition. Tap it, look at a corner or a nearby socket. If you are unsure, do not guess.
- What hides inside? Cables may run above and beside sockets and switches, and pipes above water points. A detector from a shop helps, but it is no substitute for a professional's opinion.
- What will it carry? The screen, its bracket, and anything that will hang from it. A TV does not go on the first hook that comes to hand.
Two practical points go with them. Decide where the cable will run, since a high-mounted TV leaves a visible lead or needs a trunking strip. And ask someone to help you lift: a wide screen is a two-person job, for the sake of the screen and your back.
Myth against fact
| Claim | In reality | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| "Hollow partitions can't hold anything." | They can, with the fixing made for that kind of wall and a load it can bear. | Match the fixing to the wall. |
| "A bigger plug is a safer plug." | The plug must suit the wall. An unsuitable one fails whatever its size. | Check the wall first, the plug second. |
| "The bracket in the box fits any wall." | It fits the wall it was designed for. | Test it against your actual wall. |
| "If it sounds solid, drill anywhere." | A solid sound says nothing about a cable or pipe behind it. | Never drill blind. |
| "A shelf is easier than a TV." | It may be lighter, but the principle is identical. | Treat both with the same care. |
When to hand it to a professional
Call when you do not know what lies behind the wall, when the screen is heavy or large, when the mount goes above a bed or a walkway, or when cables must be routed inside the partition. The same goes for heavy curtains on long rails, because the weight is shared across several points.
The professional brings suitable fixings and can read a wall. You keep the decisions: position, height, viewing angle.
Agadir: what is established, what you check at home
Agadir is an Atlantic city in the south, at the mouth of the Souss. It was rebuilt further south after the earthquake, under anti-seismic standards, so its buildings are recent.
That is a fact about the city, not about your wall. Charaf has recent residences, Talborjt has flats in dense housing, and Founty has seaside residences. Whichever you live in, the nature of the wall where you want to hang the TV is something you find out on the spot, not from a table.

Frequently asked questions
Can a TV go on a hollow partition?
Yes, with the fixing made for that kind of partition and a set that suits what it can carry. If you doubt the wall, have it checked before drilling.
Is a bigger wall plug safer?
Not necessarily. The plug has to suit the wall; a wrong plug fails whatever its size.
How do I know what runs behind the wall?
You cannot guess. Avoid drilling blind near sockets, switches and water points, and ask a professional.
Is the bracket supplied with the TV enough?
It is enough for the wall it was designed for. Check that it suits your wall and your set.
Is the quote free?
Yes, it is personalised and free. You pay after the service.
