FAQs

What tools do I need?

The kit includes the fixings, screws, and drill bit. You will likely need a drill and possibly a level to ensure the shelf is straight.

What type of wall is this kit for?

This kit is specifically designed for use on plasterboard walls.

How much weight can the shelf hold?

The weight capacity depends on the plasterboard's thickness and condition. Always consider the weight of the shelf and the items you will be placing on it.

Can I use this kit on a concrete wall?

No, this kit is not designed for concrete walls. It is only for plasterboard.

What if I drill the hole too big?

If the hole is too big, the fixing may not grip securely. You might need to use a different fixing solution or relocate the shelf.

Can I reuse the Gripit fixings?

It is not recommended to reuse the fixings. They are designed for a single installation.

What if the screw is too long?

Using the correct screws is important. If the screw is too long, it could damage the wall behind the plasterboard. Use the screws provided with the kit.

Troubleshooting

Shelf is unstable or wobbles.

Ensure the Gripit fixings are properly installed and tightened. Check if the screws are fully inserted into the fixings. If the plasterboard is damaged, the fixings may not hold properly. Consider using a different location or reinforcing the plasterboard.

Drill bit doesn't fit the hole.

Verify you are using the flat drill bit provided in the kit. Make sure the hole is the correct size for the Gripit fixings. If needed, re-drill the hole, ensuring the bit is centered and straight.

Fixings won't stay in the hole.

Ensure the hole is clean and free of debris before inserting the fixing. The plasterboard may be too thin or damaged to support the fixings. Check the condition of the plasterboard and consider relocating or using a different mounting method.
