FAQs

What size screws are included?

The Corefix fixings include M5 machine screws.

What is the safe load capacity?

The safe load capacity is 50kg.

Do I need to pre-drill a hole?

No, the Corefix fixings are self-drilling.

What material are the fixings made of?

The fixings are made of steel and zinc-plated.

Can I use these fixings on different types of walls?

No, these fixings are specifically designed for use on plasterboard walls.

How do I remove the fixing?

Unscrew the fixing from the wall using a screwdriver. The wings will collapse allowing the fixing to be removed.

What size of Corefix fixing should I use?

The M5 x 40mm fixings are suitable for many common applications. The correct size depends on the thickness of the plasterboard and the weight/depth of the item being mounted.

Troubleshooting

Fixing spins in the wall and does not tighten.

The plasterboard may be damaged. Try a different location or consider using a different type of fixing for more secure mounting.

Item feels unstable after mounting.

Check the weight of the item. It may exceed the fixing's load capacity. Use additional fixings or choose a more appropriate mounting method.

Fixing does not sit flush with the wall.

Ensure the fixing is installed straight. Check for any obstructions behind the plasterboard. If necessary, slightly enlarge the hole to allow the fixing to sit flush.
