FAQs
What size screwdriver do I need?
A standard Phillips head screwdriver is typically sufficient.
Can I use these fixings on tiled walls?
No, these fixings are designed for plasterboard only.
How much weight can these fixings hold?
These fixings are designed for light-duty applications. For heavier items, consider using specialized fixings rated for greater loads.
Are these fixings reusable?
It is not recommended to reuse these fixings, as this may compromise their hold. Use new fixings for each installation.
What type of plasterboard can I use these on?
These fixings are suitable for use with both single and double thickness plasterboard.
How deep do I need to screw the fixing?
Screw the fixing in until the flange sits flush with the plasterboard surface.
What is the benefit of the flange?
The flange prevents the fixing from being pushed through the plasterboard, ensuring a secure hold.
Troubleshooting
Fixing spins and doesn't grip.
Ensure the fixing is straight and the pilot hole is aligned. If the plasterboard is damaged, consider moving to a new location or using a different type of fixing.
Fixing doesn't sit flush.
Make sure you are using the correct screwdriver bit and apply even pressure while screwing in the fixing. If the plasterboard is uneven, use a washer to distribute the load.
