FAQs
What tools do I need to install these fixings?
You will typically need a drill, a screwdriver (slotted or pozidriv), and potentially a setting tool for faster installation.
Can I reuse these fixings?
Yes, the screw and fixture can be removed and reused.
What materials are these fixings suitable for?
They are suitable for plasterboard, hardboard, and plywood.
What is the maximum load capacity?
The maximum load capacity depends on the size of the fixing and the wall material. Always refer to the product specifications for details.
How do I choose the correct size fixing?
Select a fixing size based on the thickness of the item being attached and the weight it will bear. Ensure the screw is the correct length for your application.
Can I use these fixings on solid walls?
No, these fixings are designed for cavity walls, not solid walls. Use appropriate fixings for solid wall applications.
How do I remove the fixings?
Unscrew the item from the fixing. Then, unscrew the fixing itself to release its grip.
What if the fixing spins when I try to tighten it?
Make sure the anti-rotation lugs are engaged properly, or consider using a different type of fixing.
Troubleshooting
Fixing spins during tightening.
Ensure the anti-rotation lugs are properly engaged with the wall material. If the hole is too large, consider using a larger fixing size or a different type of fixing.
Fixing doesn't hold the weight.
Check that the fixing is fully expanded behind the wall. Ensure that the wall material is in good condition and not damaged. Verify you are not exceeding the weight capacity for the fixing size you have used.
Screw is difficult to tighten.
Make sure the screw is aligned correctly with the fixing. If the screw is too long, it may bottom out before fully expanding the legs. Use a shorter screw.
Fixing is loose after installation.
Ensure that the legs of the fixing have fully expanded behind the wall. The wall material may be too thin, in which case use a longer fixing or another type of fixing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Preparation: Drill a hole of the appropriate diameter for the fixing size in the wall material.
Insertion: Insert the fixing into the prepared hole.
Expansion: Tighten the screw to expand the legs behind the wall, securing the fixing.
Attachment: Attach the item you wish to hang using the screw.
Compatibility:
Compatible with plasterboard, hardboard, and plywood.
Use the correct screw size for optimal performance; the product description details screw sizes. Ensure the screw length is appropriate for the thickness of the item being fixed.
Care:
Avoid overloading the fixings beyond their recommended load capacity.
When removing and reusing, inspect the fixings for any damage.
Ensure the screw is tightened correctly but do not overtighten, as this could damage the fixing or the wall material.
