FAQs

What types of walls is this set suitable for?

This set is designed for solid masonry walls, including brick and concrete. It is not suitable for drywall or hollow walls.

How do I choose the right plug and screw size?

Refer to the dimensions provided in the product description. Generally, match the plug size (e.g., 6mm) to the corresponding drill bit size and use the screw size (e.g., M4*30mm) that fits through your item and into the plug.

Can I use these for heavy-duty applications?

This set is intended for light to medium-duty applications such as hanging pictures, mirrors, and light accessories. For heavier items, different anchoring solutions may be required.

What material are the wall plugs made of?

The wall plugs are made from high-quality PE (Polyethylene) material, known for its toughness and resistance to aging.

What material are the screws made of?

The screws are made from durable carbon steel with a zinc-plated finish for enhanced strength and corrosion resistance.

How many of each size plug and screw are included?

The set includes: Plugs: 6x30mm (12pc), 6x40mm (12pc), 8x40mm (10pc); Screws: M4x30mm (12pc), M4x40mm (12pc), M5x40mm (10pc).

Does the set come with a drill bit?

No, the set includes wall plugs and screws. You will need to provide your own drill and appropriate drill bits separately.

Troubleshooting

Wall plug spins in the hole while inserting the screw.

Ensure the hole drilled is the correct size for the plug. If the hole is too large, the plug may not grip. Try using a slightly smaller drill bit or a different plug from the set.

Screw does not tighten securely.

Check that the screw is the correct size for the plug and that the plug is fully inserted into the wall. Verify that you are using the correct plug and screw combination as intended.

Plug breaks during installation.

This can happen if excessive force is used or if the material is very hard. Ensure you are using the correct size drill bit and not forcing the plug into a hole that is too small.

Corrosion on screws.

Store the set in a dry place. If minor surface rust appears on screws, it can often be removed with a wire brush. For significant corrosion, consider replacing the screw.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Drill Hole: Select the appropriate drill bit size based on the wall plug you intend to use (e.g., 6mm for 6x30mm plugs, 8mm for 8x40mm plugs). Drill a hole into the masonry wall to the depth required for the plug.
  2. Insert Plug: Tap the wall plug gently into the drilled hole until it is flush with the wall surface.
  3. Drive Screw: Insert the corresponding screw through the object you wish to mount and into the wall plug. Tighten the screw until it is secure. The plug's ribs will expand to prevent rotation.

Compatibility:

  • Wall Types: Compatible with solid masonry materials such as brick, concrete, and stone.
  • Not Compatible With: Plasterboard, drywall, hollow walls, or soft materials where the plug cannot expand properly.

Care:

  • Store the set in its original compartment box in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the screws and maintain the integrity of the plugs.
  • Keep the box closed to prevent dust and debris from accumulating.
  • Periodically check the condition of the plugs and screws if stored for extended periods.
