FAQs
What size drill bit do I need?

How much weight can these plugs hold?
The weight capacity will vary depending on the wall material and the size of the plug and screw used. Always refer to the packaging for guidance.
What if the plug doesn't fit in the hole?
Ensure you are using the correct size drill bit. If the hole is too small, enlarge it slightly. If the hole is too large, you may need to use a different type of fixing.
Can I reuse these wall plugs?
It is generally not recommended to reuse wall plugs, as they may not provide a secure fixing after being removed.
Troubleshooting
The plug spins in the hole.
The hole may be too large. Try using a slightly larger screw or filling the hole with a suitable filler before reinserting the plug.
The screw won't tighten.
The hole may not be deep enough, or the plug is not seated correctly. Ensure the hole is deep enough, and the plug is flush with the wall. If needed, remove the plug and re-drill the hole.
The fixing is not secure.
Check that the correct screw length and plug size have been used for the weight of the object. Also, ensure the plug is fully expanded within the wall material.
