FAQs
What is the recommended drill bit size for these fixings?
The recommended drill bit size depends on the substrate material. Always refer to the specific instructions or technical data provided with the product or on the Rawlplug website for the correct size for concrete, brick, or other materials.
Can these fixings be used in plasterboard?
These frame fixings are primarily designed for solid building materials like concrete and brick. For plasterboard, specialized fixings such as toggle bolts or plasterboard anchors are typically recommended.
How many fixings are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 50 frame fixings and screws.
What is the length and diameter of the screw and fixing?
The screw and fixing are 120mm in length and 8mm in diameter.
Are these suitable for exterior use?
While designed for secure holding, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions without protection might lead to corrosion over time. Check product specifications for specific corrosion resistance ratings if intended for highly exposed exterior applications.
Can I reuse these fixings?
Frame fixings are generally designed for a single, permanent installation. Attempting to reuse them may compromise their holding power and structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Fixing does not hold securely
Ensure the pilot hole was drilled to the correct diameter and depth for the specific substrate. Check if the substrate material is suitable for this type of fixing. Verify the screw is fully engaged with the fixing.
Screw is difficult to drive
Confirm the pilot hole size is correct; a hole that is too small will make driving difficult. Check for any obstructions within the hole. Ensure the screw threads are clean and not damaged.
Fixing appears loose after installation
The hole may be too large or the substrate material might be compromised. If possible, remove the fixing and attempt to use a slightly larger diameter fixing or a different anchoring method. Ensure the fixture is not causing excessive leverage.
