FAQs

What building materials are compatible with the SX Plus dowels?

The SX Plus dowels are compatible with solid and perforated building materials such as concrete, solid bricks, perforated bricks, natural stone, and solid plaster panels.

How do I ensure the dowel is installed correctly?

Drill a hole of the specified diameter, then insert the dowel until its pronounced edge is flush with the surface. It should not slide further into the hole.

What is the purpose of the fixing fins on the dowel?

The special fixing fins secure the screw in place once inserted, allowing for hands-free adjustment of the mounted item and ensuring a stable anchor.

Can I use this set for heavy-duty applications?

This set is designed for light to medium-sized objects. For heavy-duty applications, larger or specialized anchors may be required.

How many compartments does the FixTainer have?

The FixTainer includes removable dividers that allow for up to 6 customizable compartments.

What types of screws are included in this set?

The set includes countersunk head screws (TX) and fray head screws, in addition to the SX Plus and S expansion bolts.

How should I clean the storage box?

You can clean the FixTainer with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.

Troubleshooting

Dowel slides too deep into the drill hole

Ensure the drill hole is not too deep and that the pronounced edge of the SX Plus dowel is resting against the surface. Re-drill if necessary to the correct depth.

Screw does not grip the dowel

Verify that the correct screw size and type are being used with the dowel. Check that the dowel is fully inserted and that the building material is suitable for the chosen anchor.

Poor holding power

Confirm the correct drill bit size was used, the dowel is fully seated, and the building material is appropriate. Avoid using in hollow walls or materials not specified for SX Plus dowels.

Storage box dividers do not stay in place

Ensure the dividers are correctly slotted into the base of the FixTainer. If damaged, contact customer support.
