Extended Product Information
FAQs
What size drill bit do I need?
These fixings do not require pre-drilling. Simply hammer them directly into the plasterboard.
What is the maximum weight these fixings can hold?
These fixings are designed for lightweight applications. The exact weight capacity depends on the plasterboard type and condition. Refer to the product packaging for specific load recommendations.
Can I use these fixings on a tiled wall?
No, these fixings are designed for plasterboard only.
Are these fixings reusable?
No, these fixings are designed for single use and cannot be removed and reused effectively.
What type of hammer should I use?
A standard hammer is sufficient. Avoid using excessive force to prevent damage to the plasterboard.
What materials are these fixings made from?
These fixings are made from corrosion-resistant carbon steel.
Can I use these fixings outdoors?
While they are corrosion-resistant, it's best to use fixings specifically designed for outdoor use due to potential exposure to the elements.
Troubleshooting
Fixing won't go in
Ensure you are using a hammer and applying direct, firm pressure. If the plasterboard is particularly dense, try a gentle tapping motion to start.
Fixing spins and doesn't hold
The plasterboard may be damaged or too thin. Consider using a different fixing type or moving the fixing to a new location.
Item feels unstable after hanging
The item might be too heavy. Remove the item and use fixings designed for heavier loads, or consider distributing the weight across multiple fixings.
