Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size drill bit do I need?

Refer to the product packaging for the recommended drill bit size. It's crucial for the anchor to fit properly.

What weight can these anchors hold?

The weight capacity will vary. Refer to the product packaging for the specific weight limit.

Can I use these anchors outdoors?

No, these anchors are designed for internal applications only.

What if the anchor doesn't expand?

Make sure you are screwing the L-hook in far enough. If it still doesn't expand, the wall may not be suitable, or the hole may be too small.

Are these anchors reusable?

No, these anchors are designed for single use and permanent hold.

How do I remove the anchor?

Removing the anchor can damage the wall. It is designed to be a permanent fixing.

Can I use these on solid walls?

No, these anchors are designed for hollow walls such as plasterboard.

Troubleshooting

Anchor spins in the wall during installation.

Ensure the drilled hole is the correct size. If it's too large, try a different anchor or fill the hole and redrill.

Fixture feels loose after installation.

Tighten the L-hook further, ensuring the anchor is fully expanded behind the wall. Check the weight of the fixture – it may be exceeding the anchor's capacity.

Anchor doesn't sit flush with the wall.

Ensure the hole is clean and the anchor is fully inserted. You may need to use a hammer gently to tap it flush.
