FAQs

What is the maximum weight these fixings can hold?

These fixings are designed for light-duty applications. The specific weight capacity can vary, so always refer to the packaging for the most accurate information. Generally, they are suitable for items weighing a few kilograms.

Do I need to pre-drill a hole?

No, these fixings are self-drilling, so pre-drilling is not required.

Can I use these fixings on different types of walls?

These fixings are specifically designed for use on plasterboard walls. They are not suitable for use on other types of walls such as concrete or brick.

What tools do I need?

You will need a screwdriver to install the fixings.

What if the fixing goes in crooked?

If the fixing goes in crooked, remove it and try again in a slightly different location. Ensure you are applying even pressure while screwing.

Can I reuse these fixings?

It is generally not recommended to reuse plasterboard fixings, as this may compromise their holding strength. Always use new fixings for the best results.

Troubleshooting

Fixing spins and doesn't grip.

Ensure the fixing is straight and try a different location. If the plasterboard is damaged, you may need to use a different type of fixing.

Fixing doesn't sit flush with the wall.

Stop screwing when the flange meets the surface. Do not overtighten as this may cause the fixing to sink into the plasterboard.
