FAQs

What material are these wall plugs made from?

These wall plugs are made from high-quality, durable red plastic.

What size drill bit should I use?

The recommended drill bit size is typically indicated on the packaging or product details. For these red plugs, a 5mm or 6mm drill bit is commonly used, but always check the specific requirements for your wall type.

Can I use these for heavy-duty applications?

These plugs are suitable for light to medium-duty loads. For very heavy items, consider using stronger anchors like toggle bolts or sleeve anchors, or ensure the fixings are spaced appropriately.

What types of walls can I use these plugs in?

They are suitable for plasterboard, brick, and concrete walls.

How many plugs are in a pack?

Each pack contains 100 red plastic wall plugs.

What size screw is best for these plugs?

These plugs are designed for standard wood screws or self-tapping screws, typically ranging from 3mm to 5mm in diameter, depending on the specific plug and wall conditions.

Troubleshooting

Plug spins freely in the hole

The hole may be too large. Try using a slightly larger plug or ensure the correct drill bit size was used initially. For plasterboard, consider a toggle anchor if the hole is significantly oversized.

Plug does not sit flush with the wall

Ensure the drilled hole is deep enough for the plug. If not, carefully widen the hole slightly or use a hammer to gently tap the plug in further, being careful not to damage it.

Screw won't tighten properly

Verify that the screw diameter and thread type are compatible with the plug. Ensure the plug is fully seated in the wall and not damaged. The screw may be too long or too short for the application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select Drill Bit: Choose a drill bit that matches the diameter of the wall plug. The correct size is crucial for a secure fit.
  2. Drill Hole: Drill a hole to the required depth for the plug in the desired wall surface.
  3. Insert Plug: Push the plastic wall plug into the drilled hole until it is flush with the wall surface.
  4. Drive Screw: Insert the appropriate screw through the item you wish to fix and then into the wall plug. Tighten the screw until the item is firmly secured.

Compatibility:

  • Wall Materials: Compatible with plasterboard, brick, concrete, and some types of stone.
  • Screw Types: Best used with standard wood screws or self-tapping screws of the correct diameter and length.
