FAQs

What is the maximum weight these anchors can support?

The maximum weight capacity is dependent on the wall material and the specific anchor size. Check the product packaging or specifications for details.

Can these anchors be used on solid walls?

No, these anchors are designed specifically for use in hollow walls, such as plasterboard.

What size drill bit do I need?

Refer to the packaging or product specifications for the correct drill bit size for the M4 anchors.

Are these anchors reusable?

These anchors are designed for a permanent hold and are not easily reusable. If removed, the wall may be damaged and a new anchor should be used.

Can I use these anchors outdoors?

No, these anchors are intended for internal applications only and are not weather-resistant.

What type of screw should I use?

Use a screw with M4 threading. The length of the screw will depend on the thickness of the fixture being attached.

How do I remove the anchor if needed?

Use a screwdriver or drill to unscrew the anchor. The anchor may remain in the wall or may come out with the screw. If the hole is enlarged, consider using a wall filler before reattaching.

Troubleshooting

Anchor spins in the wall during installation.

The hole may be too large. Try using a slightly larger anchor or using a wall filler to ensure a snug fit.

The anchor doesn't provide a secure hold.

The weight of the item may exceed the anchor's capacity. Check the specifications for the maximum weight the anchor can support.

The screw strips the threading.

Do not overtighten the screw. Use the correct size screw for the fixture.
