What materials can I use the Rawlplug UNO with?

The Rawlplug UNO is suitable for use in concrete, masonry, stone, blockwork, plasterboard, and tiled walls.

How do I choose the right size plug?

Select the plug size based on the diameter of the screw you will be using and the weight of the item you are hanging. Always check the packaging for the correct screw size and load recommendations.

What is the benefit of the anti-rotation features?

Can I reuse the Rawlplug UNO?

What if the hole is too big?

If the hole is too big, try a slightly larger plug, or consider using a wall filler before inserting the plug.
