Product Information
Full details
The Rawlplug KKS-R Frame Fixings are designed for professional installers and DIY enthusiasts looking to securely anchor timber or metal window and door frames into masonry substrates such as concrete, brick, stone, or blockwork. These fixings offer a significant productivity boost by allowing for direct drilling through the frame, eliminating the need for tedious pre-marking. While these fixings are highly effective for most standard framing applications, users should note that they are specifically sized for a maximum fixing thickness of 85mm, requiring careful measurement before installation.

Troubleshooting
Fixing spins in the hole during tightening
Ensure the hole is not over-drilled and is free of excess dust; if the substrate is extremely porous or loose, a smaller hole diameter might be required.
Screw is difficult to drive home
Check that the masonry hole is clear of debris and verify that the drill bit is the correct diameter and in good condition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum holding power, always use a drill bit that matches the diameter of the nylon sleeve (10mm). Ensure the drilled hole is slightly deeper than the fixing length to accommodate any dust or debris. When installing, push the fixing through the frame into the pre-drilled hole until the collar is flush with the frame surface. Care should be taken not to overtighten the screw; once the fixing feels firm and the frame is stable, stop turning. These fixings are designed for long-term indoor and outdoor use in masonry but should be kept in a dry, cool environment prior to installation to maintain the integrity of the nylon components.
