Product Information

Full details

The Securfix Nail Anchors Set is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners needing to securely fasten items to plasterboard. Its primary benefit is providing a reliable anchor point for hanging pictures, shelves, or light fixtures on hollow walls. A key consideration is its specific suitability for plasterboard, meaning it's not ideal for solid wall materials.

What type of wall can I use these anchors on?

What is the color of the anchors?

Can these anchors be used on concrete walls?

Troubleshooting

Anchor does not feel secure after installation

Ensure the anchor was fully inserted and the plasterboard is not excessively crumbly. Try a new anchor in a slightly different spot if the plasterboard in the original location is damaged.

Plasterboard cracking during installation

Tap the anchor gently with the hammer. Consider drilling a small pilot hole slightly smaller than the anchor's diameter before insertion to reduce stress on the plasterboard.

Screw does not tighten within the anchor

Remove the screw and anchor, check for any debris inside the anchor, and re-insert. Ensure the screw size is appropriate for the anchor.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to install in plasterboard.
  • Provides a secure mounting point for light to medium loads.
  • Cost-effective solution for common household hanging needs.
  • Durable metal and nylon construction.
  • Comes in a convenient pack of 20.

Cons

  • Only suitable for plasterboard, not for solid walls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select Location: Choose the desired spot on your plasterboard wall.
  2. Mark Position: Mark the exact point where you will install the anchor.
  3. Install Anchor: Gently tap the nail anchor into the plasterboard with a hammer until the collar is flush with the wall surface. For easier insertion, a small pilot hole can be drilled first, but it is often not necessary.
  4. Insert Screw: Drive a suitable screw (not included) into the anchor. The anchor will expand behind the plasterboard, creating a secure hold.

Compatibility:

  • Primary Use: Exclusively designed for hollow walls, specifically plasterboard.
  • Not Compatible With: Solid brick, concrete, or wood walls.
  • Screw Size: Accommodates standard wood or machine screws; ensure the screw length is appropriate for the item being mounted and the depth of the anchor.

Care:

  • These anchors are designed for permanent installation and do not require ongoing care.
  • Ensure the area around the installed anchor remains dry to prevent any potential material degradation over time.
