FAQs

What size hole should I drill?

The hole size depends on the anchor size. Refer to the anchor's packaging for specific drilling instructions.

Can I use these anchors in solid walls?

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

What type of screw comes with the anchor?

The anchors come with universal cross pan head machine screws.

Are the screws removable?

Yes, the screws can be removed for adjustments or maintenance.

What is the weight capacity of these anchors?

The weight capacity varies depending on the plasterboard type and installation. Always refer to the product specifications for load ratings.

What is the material of the anchor?

The anchor is made of all-steel.

How do I install the anchor?

Drill a hole, insert the anchor, and then insert the screw through the item to be mounted into the anchor.

Can I use a fixing gun with these anchors?

Yes, a specialist fixing gun can be used for efficient, repetitive installations.

Troubleshooting

Anchor spins during tightening.

Ensure the anti-rotation teeth have properly pierced the plasterboard. If necessary, slightly enlarge the hole to allow the teeth to engage.

Screw strips the anchor threads.

Avoid over-tightening the screw. Use the correct screw size. If the threads are stripped, replace the anchor.

Anchor doesn't hold the weight.

Verify the anchor's weight capacity is sufficient for the item. Ensure the anchor is fully seated and properly installed. Consider using multiple anchors to distribute the load.
