FAQs
What is the weight limit for these spring toggles?
The weight limit depends on the wall material and application. These are designed for light to medium-duty use. Always test the fixture's stability before placing full load.
Can I use these toggles in a ceiling?
Yes, if the ceiling is constructed from plasterboard or drywall, these toggles can be used for lightweight ceiling applications.
Do I need special tools to install them?
You will need a drill with the appropriate drill bit size for the hole, a screwdriver (usually Phillips head), and potentially a tape measure and pencil for marking.
What is the material of the spring toggles?
They are made from durable zinc-plated steel and Zamak 3 components for strength and corrosion resistance.
How many toggles come in a box?
Each box contains 100 spring toggles with matching screws.
Can these be removed and reused?
While they can be removed, the toggle may not function as effectively upon reinsertion, and the hole will be present. They are generally considered a permanent fixing solution.
Troubleshooting
Toggle not expanding fully behind the wall.
Ensure the hole drilled is the correct size. If too small, the toggle may not open. If too large, it may not have enough material to grip.
Screw won't tighten or feels loose.
The toggle may not have seated correctly, or the wall material might be too weak. Ensure the toggle is fully open and seated, and try a slightly longer screw if the wall material is thick.
Toggle spins when screw is tightened.
The toggle is not properly anchored. Ensure the toggle wings have sprung open behind the board and are applying pressure. You may need to remove the screw and re-seat the toggle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Drill a hole of the appropriate size for the toggle (refer to packaging for exact drill bit size).
Fold the toggle's legs together and insert it through the hole.
Once the toggle is behind the plasterboard, it will spring open.
Pull the toggle slightly to ensure it's seated firmly against the wall surface.
Insert the provided screw through the item you wish to mount and into the toggle.
Tighten the screw until the item is securely fastened. Do not overtighten.
Compatibility:
Primarily designed for use in plasterboard and drywall (hollow walls).
Not suitable for solid materials such as brick, concrete, or stone.
Ensure the thickness of your wall material is compatible with the toggle's length.
Care:
These toggles are designed for permanent installation and require no ongoing care.
Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture to prevent potential corrosion over time, although the zinc plating offers good protection.
