FAQs
Are screws included with the spring toggle wings?
No, the JCP Fixings Spring Toggle Wings are supplied without screws. You will need to purchase M10 screws separately.
What is the maximum weight these toggle wings can support?
The maximum weight capacity depends on the thickness and integrity of the plasterboard, as well as the distribution of the load. Always refer to load-bearing charts for plasterboard fixings and err on the side of caution.
Can I use these toggle wings in solid brick walls?
No, these spring toggle wings are specifically designed for hollow walls like plasterboard and drywall. They will not function correctly in solid materials.
What size drill bit do I need for M10 toggle wings?
The required drill bit size typically corresponds to the diameter of the toggle wings when folded. Consult the product packaging or manufacturer's specifications for the exact recommended drill bit size, as it can vary slightly.
How do I remove the toggle wings if needed?
To remove, you usually need to unscrew the fixing item. Then, push the screw back through the toggle wings and carefully pull the toggle wings back through the hole. The wings may not always collapse easily once deployed.
What does 'Zamak 3' mean?
Zamak 3 is a specific alloy of zinc with aluminum, magnesium, and copper. It is known for its excellent castability, strength, and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for hardware applications.
Troubleshooting
Toggle wings do not expand behind the wall.
Ensure the hole drilled is the correct size for the toggle. If the hole is too small, the wings may not open. If too large, the toggle may not catch.
Fixing feels loose after installation.
Verify that the toggle wings have fully deployed behind the wall. Ensure the M10 screw is properly seated and tightened. Check that the wall material is suitable (i.e., hollow wall, not solid).
Corrosion observed on the toggle wings.
While zinc-plated, prolonged exposure to high moisture can cause surface corrosion. Ensure the item is stored in a dry environment when not in use.
