FAQs
What size drill bit do I need?
You will need a 6mm drill bit.
What materials can I use these hooks on?
These hooks are suitable for use on concrete, brick, and plasterboard walls.
How much weight can the hook hold?
The weight capacity depends on the wall material. It's best for lighter items. Always consider the wall's load-bearing capacity and the item's weight.
Can I reuse the wall plug?
It is not recommended to reuse wall plugs. Replace them to ensure a secure hold.
My wall is crumbling. Can I still use this hook?
If the wall material is unstable or crumbling, it may not provide a secure anchor. Consider a different mounting solution.
What should I do if the hook bends?
If the hook bends, it is likely overloaded. Remove the item and consider a stronger hook or a different mounting method.
How do I remove the hook?
Unscrew the hook from the wall plug. The plug will remain in the wall.
Troubleshooting
The L hook feels loose after installation.
Ensure the wall plug is fully expanded within the wall. Try a slightly larger screw or a different wall plug type if necessary.
The hook is not staying in the wall.
Make sure you used the right drill bit (6mm). If the hole is too large, use a different wall plug solution or try a longer screw.
