FAQs

What size drill bit do I need?

You need a 5mm drill bit.

What materials are these plugs suitable for?

These plugs are designed for use in solid substrates like brick and concrete.

Can I use these plugs in plasterboard?

No, these plugs are not suitable for use in plasterboard. They are designed for solid materials only.

What is the maximum weight these plugs can hold?

The maximum weight capacity depends on the material and the application. Always consider the weight of the item and the substrate before installation.

What if the screw spins in the plug?

If the screw spins, the hole might be too large. Try using a slightly larger plug or filling the hole with a suitable filler before reinserting the plug.

Can I reuse these wall plugs?

It is not recommended to reuse wall plugs, as their expansion mechanism might be compromised.

Troubleshooting

Screw spins in the plug.

Ensure the hole is the correct size. If it's too large, use a larger plug or fill the hole with a suitable filler before reinserting the plug.

Plug doesn't expand properly.

Make sure the plug is fully inserted into the hole. If the hole is too shallow, the plug may not expand correctly.

Screw is difficult to tighten.

Ensure the screw is aligned with the plug. If the hole is misaligned, the screw may be difficult to turn. Consider pre-drilling a pilot hole in the item being attached.
