FAQs
What material are these fixing screws made from?
The screws are made from corrosion-resistant BZP (Bright Zinc Plated) steel.
Can these be used on plasterboard or drywall?
No, these fixings are specifically designed for solid masonry walls such as brick, block, and concrete.
What size drill bit do I need?
You will need a drill bit that matches the diameter of the included nylon wall plug. Refer to the packaging or product dimensions for the exact size, typically 8mm for M8 fixings, but always check.
Are washers included?
Yes, each fixing kit includes a washer to help distribute the load evenly.
Can these be used outdoors?
Yes, the BZP steel offers good corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor use, though prolonged exposure in harsh conditions may eventually affect the finish.
What is the maximum weight these fixings can support?
The maximum load capacity depends heavily on the type and condition of the masonry. Always ensure the wall is sound and consider the combined weight of the fixture and its contents. For critical applications, consult a professional.
What is the difference between these and standard screws?
These are specialized masonry fixings. They include a wall plug designed to expand within the masonry for a secure grip, unlike standard screws which require a pre-drilled and tapped hole or an anchor system suitable for the specific wall type.
Troubleshooting
Bolt will not tighten / spins freely
The hole may be too large, or the wall plug is not seated correctly. Remove the bolt and plug, re-drill if necessary to ensure the correct plug fit, or try a slightly larger plug if available. Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the masonry.
Wall plug does not fit into the drilled hole
The drilled hole is likely too small for the plug. Use a drill bit of the exact size specified for the plug, or slightly larger if required. Ensure all dust and debris are removed from the hole before inserting the plug.
Fixture is not flush against the wall
Check that the wall plug is fully and correctly inserted into the masonry. Ensure the washer is correctly positioned between the fixture and the bolt head, and that the bolt is tightened evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Position Fixture: Align your item (e.g., bracket, shelf) with the wall plug.
Insert Bolt & Washer: Place the washer onto the coach bolt screw and then insert the bolt through the fixture and into the wall plug.

Care:
The BZP (Bright Zinc Plated) steel offers good corrosion resistance. For prolonged external use or in very harsh environments, occasional inspection is recommended. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
