Wall Fixings & Wall Plugs

Learn more about wall fixings and wall plugs

Selecting the correct wall anchor is critical for preventing wall blown-out damage and ensuring long-term load safety. Wall plugs grip firm against internal brickwork surfaces when driven by wood screws, while metal toggle bolts and spring anchors expand behind hollow plasterboard to distribute weight across cavity voids. 

Typical uses

• Mounting brackets, shelves and kitchen cabinets.

• Fixing handrails, grab rails and balustrades.

• Wall-mounting TVs, radiators and boilers.

• Securing cable trays, trunking and pipe clips.

How to choose the right wall fixings or wall plugs

• Confirm the wall construction first, then pick the fixing that suits the substrate and the loadbearing need.

• Check the board or wall thickness, then compare it with the fixing depth on the pack.

• Match the screw diameter to the plug or anchor size.

• Check the drill bit size and hole depth before you start.

Before you order

• Check the product specifications for the recommended substrate and screw diameter.

• Match the fixing weight to the job, especially for radiators and other heavier items.

• Use plasterboard wall plugs, cavity fixings or toggle bolts for hollow walls and stud partitions, not a solid wall plug.

• Keep the drill bit size, minimum hole depth and embedment depth in mind before you start.
