FAQs

What are rawl plugs used for?

Rawl plugs, also known as wall anchors, are designed to create a secure hold for screws in walls made of materials that screws alone cannot grip effectively, such as drywall, plaster, or concrete.

How do I choose the correct size screw and rawl plug?

Consider the weight of the item you are mounting and the type of wall. Choose a plug that matches the wall material and a screw that fits the plug and the item being mounted.

Can I use these screws and plugs on all types of walls?

While versatile, these are best suited for solid or hollow walls. Always check that the anchor and screw are appropriate for the wall material and the weight of the item.

What tools do I need to use this assortment?

You will need a drill, drill bits of various sizes, a screwdriver (or drill with a screwdriver bit), and a level.

How do I store the assortment?

Store the assortment in its original plastic case in a dry place to prevent rust and to keep the pieces organized.

What do I do if I run out of a certain size?

Since this is an assortment, it is likely that you might run out of certain sizes faster than others. You can purchase individual screws and plugs to supplement your set.

Troubleshooting

Screw spins and doesn't tighten.

The hole may be too large. Try using a larger rawl plug or a longer screw.

Rawl plug pushes into the wall.

The hole may be too big. Use a smaller plug or fill the hole slightly before inserting the plug.

Screw breaks or strips.

Use a screw of appropriate length and diameter. Ensure you are not over tightening. If the screw is too long, it can bottom out and cause the head to break. If the screw is not long enough, it will not be able to get a good hold in the wall.

The item is not securely fastened.

Ensure the correct size of screw and plug is being used for the weight and the wall type.
