FAQs

What size drill bit do I need?

You will need a 7mm drill bit for installation.

What size screws should I use?

Use No.8 (4.5mm) screws.

What is the maximum weight these anchors can hold?

These anchors are designed for regular-duty applications. Always ensure the weight of the item being secured does not exceed the anchor's recommended load capacity.

Can I use these anchors in solid walls?

No, these anchors are designed for use in plasterboard hollow walls only.

How many anchors come in a pack?

There are 50 anchors per pack.

What are these anchors typically used for?

They are typically used for securing wall hooks, smoke alarms, and switches.

What if the screw spins after insertion?

The hole may be too large. Remove the anchor, fill the hole, and redrill, or try a larger anchor.

Troubleshooting

Anchor spins in the hole during installation.

Ensure the drilled hole is the correct size (7mm). If the hole is too large, consider using a slightly larger anchor or filling the hole with a suitable filler before re-drilling.

Screw does not tighten properly.

Make sure you are using a No.8 (4.5mm) screw. Ensure the screw is the correct length for the item you are attaching. Do not overtighten.

Anchor pulls out of the wall.

The anchor may be overloaded. Reduce the weight of the item being secured or use a heavier-duty fixing for heavier loads. Ensure that the anchor is fully expanded behind the plasterboard.
