FAQs

What kind of walls are these plugs suitable for?

These plugs are designed for use in solid substrates like brick and concrete.

What size drill bit do I need?

The recommended drill bit size is typically 6mm. Always check the packaging for the exact specifications.

Can I use these plugs for drywall?

No, these plugs are not designed for drywall. They are specifically for solid substrates.

How much weight can these plugs hold?

Weight capacity varies depending on the substrate and the screw used. Please consult product specifications for weight load limits.

What should I do if the plug spins when I insert the screw?

Ensure the hole is the correct size, and the plug is fully inserted. You may need to use a slightly larger plug or try a different location.

Are the screws included with the plugs?

Yes, the Diall Grey Multi-Purpose Screw & Wall Plug set comes with both screws and plugs.

Can I reuse the plugs?

It is generally not recommended to reuse wall plugs, as they may lose their holding strength. Use new plugs for optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

The plug spins when tightening the screw.

Ensure the drilled hole is the correct size. If necessary, use a slightly larger plug or try a different location on the wall.

The screw doesn't tighten properly.

Check if the plug is fully inserted into the wall. Make sure the screw is compatible with the plug. If the hole is too large, consider using a longer screw or a larger plug.

The item feels loose after tightening.

Ensure the screw is long enough to fully engage with the plug and the item being secured. Check the weight capacity of the plug and screw combination.
