FAQs
What size drill bit do I need?
These fixings do not require pre-drilling. The sharp point allows for direct hammering into the plasterboard.
Can I use these for heavy items?
No, these fixings are designed for lightweight items only. For heavier items, consider using specialized fixings suitable for the load.
How do I remove the fixings?
You can usually remove the fixing by gently unscrewing it or carefully prying it out using a tool like a flathead screwdriver.
What material are these fixings made of?
These fixings are made from corrosion-resistant carbon steel.
How many fixings are in a pack?
There are 25 fixings in each pack.
Are these fixings suitable for use in damp environments?
The corrosion-resistant properties of the carbon steel help, but it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to ensure the longevity of the fixings.
Troubleshooting
Fixing won't go in.
Ensure you are hammering straight and that the point is aligned correctly. If needed, slightly widen the hole with a screwdriver.
Fixing spins and doesn't hold.
The plasterboard may be damaged. Try a different location or consider using a different type of fixing for more secure hold.
