The Timco Corefix 120 is designed for safely securing heavy loads like cabinets and brackets to dot and dab plasterboard walls. Its key benefit is bridging the gap in dot and dab construction to secure directly to the brick or block behind, offering a robust fix. A caveat is its specific application for dot and dab walls; it may not be the ideal solution for other wall types. This patented fixing system uses a zinc-plated steel tube insert for quick and secure installation without specialist tools.

Dot and dab is a method of fixing plasterboard to masonry walls where adhesive is applied in 'dots' with 'dabs' of adhesive around the perimeter, creating an air gap between the plasterboard and the solid wall.
While Corefix is designed for dot and dab, its ability to bridge cavities makes it a secure option even on standard plasterboard if a solid substrate is present behind it at the correct depth. However, its primary benefit is for the dot and dab scenario.
You will need a drill with a 10mm drill bit, a hammer, and a screwdriver.
The product description does not specify a maximum weight limit, but it is designed to securely hold heavy loads by fixing into the brick or block. Always follow the load-bearing recommendations of the fixture you are attaching.
The Corefix system is intended for single, permanent installation. It is not designed for removal and re-use.
The recommended drill hole diameter is 10.0 mm.
The screw size is 5.0 x 120 mm.
Ensure you are drilling to the minimum required depth of 100mm into the brick or block substrate.
Check that the drilled hole is clean and free from debris. Ensure the correct 10mm drill bit was used. Gentle tapping with a hammer may be required, but avoid excessive force.
Verify the fixture being attached is no thicker than 30mm. Check that the Corefix insert is fully seated and secure in the wall. Ensure the correct screw size is used.
Double-check that the fixing has engaged with the brick or block behind the plasterboard, not just the plasterboard itself. Re-drill if necessary, ensuring the correct depth.
