FAQs
Can these be used in concrete walls?
No, these are exclusively designed for use in plasterboard/drywall.
What is the recommended screw size for these plugs?
While it depends on the load, a screw gauge between 4mm and 5mm is typically the most compatible with 7mm wall plugs.
How do I remove the plug if I make a mistake?
Gently pull the plug out with needle-nose pliers or use a screw to catch the inner thread and pull it forward.
Are these plugs reusable?
It is not recommended, as the plastic wings deform once a screw has been driven in.
Do I need a rawlplug tool to install these?
No, these are designed for standard push-in installation using your thumb or a light tap from a hammer.
Troubleshooting
Plug spins inside the hole during screw insertion
The hole is likely too large; use a slightly smaller drill bit next time or apply a small amount of adhesive to the plug before insertion.
The head of the plug is not flush with the wall
Gently tap the rim of the plug with a hammer until it sits perfectly flush against the plasterboard.
The screw is difficult to drive in
Ensure you are using the correct gauge screw for a 7mm plug; if too large, the plastic will bind too tightly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Simple push-in installation saves time
- Reliable hold for light to medium household loads
- Large pack size provides great value
- Lightweight and corrosion-resistant plastic material
Cons
- Limited to plasterboard usage only
- Not suitable for heavy-duty structural applications
- Plastic may strip if overtightened with power tools
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, use a 7mm masonry or wood drill bit to create the initial hole. Ensure the hole depth is slightly longer than the length of the plug to allow for the screw tip to clear the end. These plugs are specifically designed for standard plasterboard thickness. Avoid using them in solid brick, concrete, or stone, as they will not expand correctly. To care for these, keep them stored in a dry, cool area to prevent degradation of the plastic polymer over long periods.
