FAQs

What type of screw should I use with these anchors?

These anchors are designed for M6 screws. The length of the screw will depend on the thickness of the item being mounted and the depth of the anchor in the substrate. Ensure the screw thread engages properly with the anchor's internal threads.

Can these anchors be used outdoors?

While made from durable materials, it is recommended to use these anchors in dry conditions. Exposure to moisture may accelerate corrosion over time. For exterior applications, consider anchors specifically rated for outdoor use.

What is the maximum weight capacity for these anchors?

The specific weight capacity varies greatly depending on the substrate material (concrete, brick, drywall) and proper installation. For critical or heavy-duty applications, professional consultation and testing are advised.

Are these anchors suitable for plasterboard/drywall?

Yes, these anchors are suitable for drywall. Ensure you drill the correct size hole and install them according to the instructions for a secure hold on lighter to medium-weight items.

How do I remove an anchor if needed?

Typically, you can unscrew the screw, and then use pliers to grip the anchor flange and pull it straight out. For stubborn anchors, you may need to carefully cut or break the flange and push the rest of the anchor into the wall cavity if possible.

What does 'M6 x 50' refer to?

'M6' refers to the metric thread size of the screw that the anchor is designed to accommodate (6mm nominal diameter). 'x 50' refers to the length of the anchor itself in millimeters.

Troubleshooting

Anchor does not hold securely.

Ensure the correct drill bit size was used for the hole. Verify the hole depth is adequate. Check that the substrate material is suitable for anchoring and not crumbling. Ensure the correct screw size and type are used and properly tightened.

Anchor spins in the hole during screw insertion.

The hole may be too large. Try using a slightly larger anchor if available, or ensure the correct drill bit size was used. For drywall, consider using a toggle or toggle-bolt anchor for better hold.

Difficulty inserting the anchor into the hole.

The hole may be too small. Re-drill the hole with the recommended drill bit size. Ensure no debris is obstructing the hole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for use in concrete, brick, and drywall.
