FAQs
What types of walls are these anchors suitable for?

How do I choose the correct anchor size?

Do I need to pre-drill holes?
Yes, for expansion screws, you typically need to pre-drill a hole. Refer to the anchor packaging for the recommended drill bit size.
Can I use these anchors for heavy items?
These anchors are suitable for a variety of items, but it's essential to select the correct size and weight capacity for your needs. For very heavy items, consider alternative mounting methods.
What is the gun used for?

What if an anchor becomes loose?
If an anchor becomes loose, remove the item, replace the anchor with a new one, and re-secure the item. If the hole is enlarged, consider filling it first.

Troubleshooting

Ensure the hole size is correct. If the hole is too large, use a larger anchor or fill the hole with a suitable filler before installing the anchor.
Anchor doesn't hold the weight of the item.
Check the anchor's weight capacity and ensure it matches the item's weight. If the item is too heavy, use a more robust anchor or alternative mounting method suitable for the load.
