FAQs

What is the weight capacity of the fixings?

The fixings are designed to support a load of up to 50kg.

Do I need to pre-drill holes?

No, the fixings are self-drilling, so pre-drilling is not required.

What tools do I need?

You will need a screwdriver to install the fixings.

Are these fixings suitable for all types of plasterboard?

They are designed for standard plasterboard. Always check the condition of your plasterboard before installation.

What screws are included?

The kit includes M5 machine screws.

What is the warranty?

The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Can I use these fixings for other purposes?

These fixings are specifically designed for mounting TV brackets on plasterboard.

Troubleshooting

Fixing spins and doesn't grip.

Ensure the fixing is being driven straight. If the plasterboard is damaged, consider alternative mounting solutions.

Bracket feels loose after installation.

Check that the fixings are fully engaged behind the plasterboard. Tighten the screws if necessary, but avoid over-tightening.

Fixing won't go in.

Ensure you are using a screwdriver and applying firm, steady pressure. If the plasterboard is particularly hard, you might need to pre-score the surface slightly with a utility knife to aid penetration.
