FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the DuoPower fixing?

The two-component design, which automatically activates the optimum product function (expansion, folding, knotting) based on the building material, providing excellent hold values.

What materials are the DuoPower fixings made of?

The DuoPower fixings are made of high-quality nylon and plastic.

What's included in the L-BOXX?

How do I choose the correct fixing size?

Select the appropriate DuoPower size based on the weight of the item being fixed and the material of the wall.

Can I use these fixings outdoors?

While the fixings are suitable for many applications, consider the environmental conditions and material compatibility for outdoor use. The fixings themselves are weather-resistant, but the surrounding materials need to be compatible.

What is the purpose of the red component?

What is the purpose of the serrated anti-rotation feature?

It prevents rotation in the drill hole during installation, ensuring a secure grip.

How should I store the L-BOXX?

Troubleshooting

The fixing rotates in the hole when screwing.

Ensure the drill hole is the correct size. If necessary, use a slightly larger drill bit or try a different fixing from the assortment. Also, ensure the anti-rotation feature is working as intended during insertion.

The screw doesn't tighten securely.

Check if the screw is the correct size and thread type for the fixing. Make sure that the screw is not over-tightened. If the hole is too large, consider using a larger fixing or filling the hole with an appropriate filler before re-drilling.

The fixing slips into the hole.

Ensure the pre-shaped edge of the plug is flush with the wall surface and that the hole is drilled to the correct size. Try using a screw with a wider head to prevent slippage.
