FAQs
What materials are these fixings suitable for?
These fixings are suitable for solid walls, brick, concrete, and stone.
What size drill bit should I use?
A 6mm drill bit is recommended for use with these fixings.
Can I reuse these fixings?
No, these fixings are designed for single use and are not reusable.
How do I remove the fixing if I make a mistake?
You can try to remove the fixing with a claw hammer, however, removal may be difficult, and could damage the surrounding material.
Are these fixings suitable for outdoor use?
The product description doesn't explicitly mention outdoor use. Check the product packaging for specific information on weather resistance.
What is the maximum weight these fixings can hold?
The product description does not specify a maximum weight capacity. This will depend on the material and the number of fixings used.
How deep should I drill the hole?
Drill the hole deep enough to accommodate the full length of the fixing.
Troubleshooting
Fixing spins in the hole.
The hole may be too large. Try using a slightly larger fixing or filling the hole with a suitable filler before re-inserting.
Fixing doesn't go in smoothly.
Check that the hole is clear of debris. Ensure that the drill bit size matches the fixing diameter. Use a hammer to gently tap the fixing in.
Fixing head is not flush.
Stop hammering when the head of the fixing is flush with the surface to avoid over-tightening. If the head is still not flush, the hole might be slightly too shallow.
