FAQs

What size drill bit do I need?

A 10mm drill bit is generally recommended for this product. Check the product packaging for specific instructions.

What materials are these plugs suitable for?

These wall plugs are designed for use in solid substrates such as brick and concrete.

Can I use these plugs in plasterboard?

No, these plugs are not designed for use in plasterboard or other hollow wall materials. Consider using a plasterboard-specific fixing instead.

How much weight can these plugs hold?

The weight capacity will vary depending on the substrate and the screw used. Always refer to the product specifications and test before hanging heavy items.

What if the plug spins when I insert the screw?

Ensure the hole is the correct size and the plug is fully inserted. The anti-rotation fins should prevent spinning, but sometimes they may get damaged during insertion.

Can I remove and reuse these wall plugs?

It is not recommended to remove and reuse wall plugs as it may compromise their holding strength.

Troubleshooting

Screw spins in the plug.

Ensure the correct size drill bit was used. If the hole is too large, try a slightly longer screw or a larger plug.

Plug does not sit flush with the wall.

Make sure the hole is drilled to the correct depth and the plug is fully inserted. Use a hammer to gently tap it in if needed.

Fixing feels loose.

Check if the screw is tight enough. If the wall material is crumbling, consider using a different type of fixing appropriate for the substrate.
