Product Information
Full details
The Fischer HM H Metal Cavity Fixing with Angle Hook is an essential hardware solution for DIYers and professionals looking to mount objects securely into hollow walls. It offers superior load-bearing capacity by utilizing expansive metal arms that distribute weight over a large surface area behind the drywall. While it provides excellent stability for light to medium-duty hanging, users should note that it is designed specifically for cavity-style wall structures and requires a proper installation tool to ensure the expansion arms deploy correctly.

FAQs
Can these be used in solid brick walls?
No, these are specifically designed for hollow cavity walls. For brick, you should use traditional masonry plugs.
How many come in a pack?
This specific set includes four pieces.
Do I need special tools?
It is highly recommended to use a manual cavity fixing installation tool for consistent and secure results.
What is the primary material?
The fixings are constructed from durable, high-strength metal.
Can I remove the fixing after it is set?
Once expanded, the fixing is meant to be permanent. Removing it will likely damage the surrounding wall material.
Troubleshooting
Fixing spins inside the hole during installation
The drill hole is likely too large. Use a smaller drill bit or a slightly larger gauge fixing to ensure a tight friction fit.
Arms do not expand fully
Ensure you are using the correct manual installation tool to pull the central screw, which triggers the expansion mechanism.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first drill a hole of the appropriate diameter as specified by the product packaging. Insert the HM H fixing into the hole until the edge sits flush against the wall surface. Use a designated installation tool to pull the screw head forward, which forces the metal arms to collapse and grip the backside of the board. Once set, the angle hook is ready for use. Avoid over-tightening with a power drill, as this may strip the internal threads of the metal sleeve. Ensure you are using the correct drill bit size to prevent the fixing from spinning during installation.
