FAQs

What size drill bit do I need?

The drill bit size depends on the size of the wall plug. Check the packaging for specific recommendations.

Can these plugs be used in concrete walls?

These plugs are generally not recommended for use in concrete. Use specialized concrete anchors for such applications.

Are these plugs reusable?

In some cases, you can remove and reuse the plugs, but their holding strength may be diminished. It's generally recommended to use new plugs for critical applications.

What is the maximum weight these plugs can hold?

The weight capacity depends on the wall material, plug size, and screw used. Refer to the packaging for specific load recommendations.

What type of screws are compatible?

These plugs are compatible with most standard screws. The screw length should be appropriate for the thickness of the item being mounted plus the length of the plug.

How do I remove a plug if I need to?

You can try to extract the plug with a screw and pliers. If the plug is not holding anymore, you can push it further inside the wall and use another plug and screw to fix the item in another location.

What if the plug is too short for the screw?

If the plug is too short, the screw will not grip properly. Use a longer plug or a different type of wall anchor.

Can I paint over the plugs?

Yes, once installed, the plugs can be painted to match your wall color, enhancing the aesthetic integration.

Troubleshooting

Screw spins in the plug without tightening.

Ensure the correct size of plug is used for the screw. If the hole is too large, use a larger plug or fill the hole with a suitable filler before reinserting the plug.

Plug won't stay in the hole.

Make sure the hole size is correct for the plug. If the hole is too large, try a longer screw or a different type of wall plug designed for a larger hole. Ensure the hole is clean from debris.

The item hangs at an angle.

Make sure the plug is installed straight into the wall and that the screw is also inserted straight.
