FAQs

What tools do I need to install these fixings?

You will need a screwdriver or a drill with a screw-driving bit.

Can I use these fixings on double-thickness plasterboard?

Yes, these fixings are suitable for both single and double-thickness plasterboard.

Are these fixings suitable for heavy items?

These fixings are suitable for a wide range of items. However, the load-bearing capacity depends on the plasterboard thickness and the weight of the item. For very heavy items, consider using alternative fixings designed for heavier loads.

What if the fixing doesn't sit flush with the wall?

Check for any obstructions behind the plasterboard. Ensure you are not over-tightening the fixing. If the fixing is damaged, remove it and install a new one.

Can these fixings be removed?

Yes, they can be removed by unscrewing them from the plasterboard. However, the plasterboard will be left with a hole.

What is the maximum weight these fixings can hold?

The maximum weight capacity varies based on plasterboard thickness and type. Always consider the weight of the item and the integrity of the plasterboard. For heavy items, it is best to use more robust fixings specifically rated for the weight.

Troubleshooting

Fixing spins in the plasterboard without gripping.

Ensure the plasterboard is not damaged. If the hole is enlarged, consider using a larger fixing or relocating the fixing to an undamaged area.

Fixing is difficult to screw in.

Check that you are using the correct screw-driving bit and applying even pressure. If necessary, slightly enlarge the hole with a drill to ease installation, but be careful not to make the hole too large.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick and easy installation.
  • No pre-drilling required.
  • Provides a secure hold.

  • Suitable for various applications.

Cons

  • Load capacity depends on plasterboard thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Installation: Align the fixing with the plasterboard. Use a screwdriver or drill with a screw-driving bit to screw the fixing into the board until it is flush with the surface.
  2. Compatibility: These fixings are compatible with standard plasterboard of single and double thickness. Ensure the screw length is appropriate for the item you are attaching and the plasterboard thickness.
  3. Care: Avoid over-tightening the fixings, as this can compromise their hold. Inspect the fixings periodically to ensure they remain secure, especially for items subject to movement or vibration.
