What screws should I use?

What materials are these wall plugs suitable for?
These wall plugs are suitable for use in basic materials like brick, concrete and plasterboard.
How much weight can these plugs hold?
The weight capacity depends on the wall material and the item being mounted. It is suitable for typical household applications like shelving and pictures. If unsure, consider spreading the load across multiple plugs or using more heavy-duty fixings.
What if the plug spins when I try to insert the screw?
Make sure you have drilled a hole of the right size. Check that the anti-rotation fins are in contact with the wall material. If needed, slightly adjust the position to ensure a secure fit.

Troubleshooting
Plug spins during screw insertion.
Ensure the 7mm hole is correctly sized, and that the anti-rotation fins are in contact with the wall material. If the hole is too large, consider using a slightly larger plug or filling the hole with appropriate filler.
Screw does not tighten.
Ensure the screw is the correct size. Try a new screw if necessary or inspect the plug for damage. Make sure the item being mounted isn't preventing the screw from reaching the plug.
Plug doesn't hold the weight.
Verify that the plug is appropriate for the weight. For heavier items, consider using a different type of wall fixing designed for heavier loads, or distribute the weight across multiple fixings.
