FAQs

What size drill bit do I need?

What is the maximum weight the Gripit fixing can hold?

Each fixing can hold up to 71kg.

Can I reuse the Gripit fixing?

Yes, Gripit fixings are designed to be removable and reusable.

What type of plasterboard is the fixing suitable for?

Are screws included?

Can I use Gripit fixings on dot and dab walls?

Yes, the undercutting tool can cut a recess into dot and dab walls.

What if the fixing doesn't fit flush?

Ensure the hole is properly sized. Gentle tapping with a hammer can help it seat correctly. Check for debris.

Troubleshooting

Fixing spins in the hole.

Ensure the hole is not too large. If necessary, slightly enlarge the hole to get a better grip. If the hole is too big, consider a different fixing.

Fixing won't open its wings.

Make sure the fixing is fully inserted into the plasterboard. Check for any obstructions behind the wall that might be preventing the wings from opening.

Item feels unstable after installation.

Double-check the screw is fully tightened and the fixing wings are properly engaged. If the item is very heavy, consider using multiple fixings.

Difficulty inserting the fixing.

Make sure the hole is clean and free of debris. Use a hammer to gently tap the fixing into place.
