Extended Product Information

FAQs

What types of walls can these anchors be used on?

These anchors are specifically designed for hollow wall materials such as plasterboard, chipboard, plywood, fibreboard, and hardboard.

Can I remove the item I've fixed without removing the anchor?

Yes, the screw and the fixture can be removed and re-used. The anchor remains in the wall, allowing you to reattach the item later.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a drill to create the pilot hole and a standard slotted or Pozidriv screwdriver for tightening and loosening the screw.

How much weight can these anchors support?

Weight capacity depends on the specific material thickness and condition. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines or test in an inconspicuous area for heavy items.

Are these anchors suitable for outdoor use?

These anchors are typically intended for internal partition walls. For outdoor applications, consider materials rated for exterior environments and resistance to corrosion.

What is the difference between this and a standard wall plug?

Standard wall plugs are generally for solid walls, expanding outwards. These cavity fixings expand within the hollow space behind the plasterboard, providing a stronger hold in such materials.

Troubleshooting

Anchor does not grip firmly

Ensure the pilot hole is the correct size for the anchor and material. If the hole is too large, the anchor may not expand sufficiently.

Screw is difficult to turn during installation

Check that the anchor is fully inserted into the material and that the screw is aligned correctly with the anchor's thread. Ensure you are using the correct type of screwdriver (slotted or Pozidriv).

Anchor spins when trying to tighten the screw

The hole may be too large, or the material may be too soft or damaged. Try a slightly larger anchor or an alternative fixing method if the hole cannot be adequately secured.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a secure and permanent fixing solution for hollow walls.
  • Allows for items to be removed and re-hung without damaging the wall.
  • Compatible with multiple board materials.
  • Easy to install and remove with common tools.

Cons

  • Requires correct pilot hole size for optimal performance.
  • Not suitable for solid wall materials.
  • Removal may leave anchor visible if not concealed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select an appropriate drill bit size for the material being drilled. Refer to packaging for specific recommendations.
  2. Drill a clean hole into the plasterboard or partition material.
  3. Insert the metal wall anchor into the drilled hole.
  4. Using a standard slotted or Pozidriv screwdriver, turn the screw clockwise. As you tighten, the anchor will expand behind the wall material, creating a secure grip.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable Materials: Plasterboard, chipboard, plywood, fibreboard, and hardboard.
  • Unsuitable Materials: Solid wood, brick, concrete, or other dense, solid wall types.

Care:

These anchors are made of durable metal and require no special care. Ensure screws are tightened correctly during installation for optimal performance. When removing fixtures, use the appropriate screwdriver and avoid excessive force that could damage the anchor or surrounding material.
