FAQs

What size drill bit should I use?

If pre-drilling, use a drill bit that matches the size of the plasterboard plug.

Can these plugs be used on other wall types?

These plugs are designed for plasterboard. Other wall types may require different fixings.

How much weight can these plugs hold?

The holding capacity depends on the plasterboard thickness and the screw used. Always consider the weight of the item and choose the appropriate fixing method.

What if I strip the screw head?

If the screw head strips, try using a screw extractor or a different screw with a more robust head.

How do I remove the plug?

Unscrew the screw. Use a screwdriver or pliers to pull out the plug.

Are the screws rust-resistant?

The screws are designed for general use, so it's best to avoid excessive exposure to moisture to prevent rusting.

Troubleshooting

Screw spins and doesn't tighten.

The plasterboard plug may not be gripping properly. Remove the screw and plug. Replace with a new plug and try again.

The fixture feels wobbly.

The item may be too heavy or the screw may not be long enough. Check the screw length and consider using a different fixing method for heavier items.

Screw Installation: Align the item with the plug and screw it in until it is secure.
