FAQs
What is the maximum weight these fixings can hold?
The maximum load-bearing capacity depends on the type and thickness of the plasterboard, as well as the proper installation of the anchor. MAGOSIS fixings are engineered for heavy-duty applications, but it's always recommended to check manufacturer guidelines and distribute weight evenly.
Can I use these for solid walls?
These anchors are specifically designed for plasterboard and hollow walls. For solid brick or concrete, you will need different types of wall plugs and anchors suitable for those materials.
What drill bit size should I use?
For the 36 x 13 mm grey anchors, an 8-10 mm drill bit is generally recommended. Always check the product packaging or manufacturer recommendations for precise guidance.
Are the screws compatible with other types of anchors?
The 3.5 x 60 mm screws are designed to work optimally with the included MAGOSIS plasterboard anchors. While they might fit other anchors, compatibility is not guaranteed.
How do I remove the anchor if needed?
Gently try to unscrew the anchor itself if possible. If not, you may need to carefully cut or break the anchor and repair the plasterboard.
What is the anti-rotation feature?
The anti-rotation feature refers to design elements on the anchor that prevent it from spinning in the hole as you tighten the screw, ensuring a secure installation.
Can I use these for outdoor applications?
The screws are colored zinc for corrosion resistance, but prolonged outdoor exposure is not recommended. The plastic anchors may also degrade over time with UV exposure. They are best suited for indoor use.
Troubleshooting
Anchor spins freely in the hole.
The hole may be too large, or the plasterboard may be damaged. Try a slightly larger anchor if available, or use a reinforcing filler before re-inserting the anchor.
Screw does not tighten.
Ensure the anchor has fully deployed its expansion mechanism. If the anchor is spinning, it may not be seated correctly. Remove the screw and anchor, re-drill if necessary, and re-insert the anchor ensuring it's flush and secure before screwing.
Anchor does not expand behind the plasterboard.
Verify that you are using the correct anchor for plasterboard. Ensure the hole size is appropriate. The anchor may not be fully inserted before screwing.
Screws seem too short for the item being mounted.
The included screws are sized for the specific anchors and common plasterboard applications. For thicker materials, longer screws may be required, but ensure they are compatible with the anchor's thread depth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Determine the correct placement for your item and mark the wall.
Drill a hole of the appropriate diameter for the 36 x 13 mm anchor. A 8-10mm drill bit is typically recommended for this type of anchor, but always check for best results.
Insert the plasterboard anchor into the drilled hole until it sits flush with the wall surface.
For plasterboard, the anchor should expand behind the board. If resistance is met in a hollow wall, gently tap the anchor in.
Place the item to be mounted over the anchor, aligning it with the screw hole.
Insert the 3.5 x 60 mm screw through the item and into the anchor.
Tighten the screw firmly until the item is securely fastened. Do not overtighten.
Compatibility:
Primarily designed for plasterboard and hollow walls.
May be suitable for drywall, particle board, and other composite paneling.
Not recommended for solid brick, concrete, or stone walls without consulting a professional or using specific fixings for those materials.
Care:
Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the screws.
Keep the anchors and screws in their original packaging or a suitable container to avoid loss.
Clean any dust or debris from the installation area before proceeding.
