the easiest way to find a stud all your electrical outlets are usually attached to one take off the cover and look which way the box is attached you may have to pull the plug out be careful once you locate the stud measure over 16 inches on center put a small brad nail in to find the stud. if you have a block home the lathing strips may be 24 inches on center

Try measuring from a known stud. Most studs are 16" on center. If you can find one, the rest are easy.
