Plasterboard Cavity Wall Fixings Hollow Wall Anchors Heavy Duty (Pack of 8 Fixings)

I've known about these for a while, but was put off by the high price, until I came across a job for which none of my other fixings were suitable. Now I've used them, I'd say that due to ease of use, higher reliability and versatility, they're probably worth the price. Although I still think it a bit high for a few pieces of plastic and some screws. I get about development and set-up costs, but still.. They should at least sell a larger pack at lower cost per fixing.. Compared to other options, the weight is spread out over a larger area, plus, the fixing is held by 2 screws and what you're putting up by a third screw. They are really easy to use and can be used for jobs where most other options are unsuitable, so where there's no room for wings to open, where the plasterboard is too thick (or thin) for other fixings or where you simply need more strength and reliability. They also work for things like hollow doors, plywood walls etc.. And with these, you can set multiple screws into same fixing, if necessary, if you need 2 screws very close together, for example. Also, as the fixing is not held by the same screw as the item you're putting up, you can use alternative screws to those provided, or bolts or hooks, without compromising the holding power of the fixing. Overall, installation was really easy, and detailed, clear instructions with pictures are on back of packet. However, the middle screw is longer than the 2 screws used to hold the fixture, and that's where I encountered a snag.. I wasted one expensive fitting until I realised that the 2 shorter screws provided were not long enough for my plasterboard. I thought first that I hadn't lined up the holes correctly, although realised afterwards that's pretty impossible.. The screws were not going in as too short and not reaching the fixing behind. Luckily, I had some of correct length and size. Another snag is that while in theory they're re-usable, it's going to be difficult (impossible??) to recover the long piece that sits behind the plasterboard for future use - once you take out the screw, it falls down, of course.. And that you have to drill a 25 mm hole to use them, thereby reducing integrity of the plasterboard. Sometimes, due to the size, the fixing will be visible behind your shelf or whatever. But they're white, and can be painted over, so not very noticeable. Overall, despite those slight drawbacks, am really impressed. I trust these more than any other options on the market for holding up heavy items and they're handy where other fittings don't work. Due to the high price, I will probably reserve these for those jobs.. If you want more info before buying, I suggest you check out youtube reviews, there's at least one good one. Definitely recommend these if you want a sure-fire but easy option and don't mind the price.

Absolutely fantastic fixings so easy to install and very strong, hung this very heavy mirror today 5ft x 4ft no problem

Simple, really study and generally useful product, better than most plasterboard fixings... however I ran into what feels like a relatively easy to fix design problem. When cutting the holes you need to be very careful it is exactly the specified size - I used a spade bit the specified size, but as spade bits do it produced a hole a bit larger in the plasterboard. This meant that the plug that goes in the plasterboard didn't sit in the center of the hole and the lip of the plug didn't contact on one side, so when tightening it didn't spread the load equally and damaged the plasterboard. The obvious user end fix is to use a core bit, or a spade bit a couple of mm small, but I think the smarter option would be to fix this in the design - they could either make the lip a little bigger, or use some thin wedges of plastic on the sides of the plug to ensure it sits in the center.

I only received 2 (out of 4) back plates, 3 (out of four ) plugs. The screws I'm not worried about but I ordered a four pack and didn't come close to receiving all of them.

Backstory: I have a 55” television and needed to get it mounted on our wall quickly (our 1 year old is getting into everything and I found him slapping the screen a week before mounting). I bought a great mount and was ready to go but I failed to realize that the mount I bought was designed for wall studs 16” on center. As it turns out the studs in my target wall are 24” on center. This created a situation in which I was going to have to get creative with some sort of unsightly bracket on the wall, tear into the wall to install horizontal 2x4s or, get a hold of some of the best drywall anchors money can buy. Based on the product I am reviewing you can probably guess that I chose the latter option. One thing to keep in mind, I AM NOT relying solely on the drywall anchors to support the full weight of the television and mount (total weight of both is just shy of 60 lbs). My mount has two lag bolts in the center wall stud and four drywall anchors for added support in each corner. Pros: This product is STURDY. As soon as I pulled them out of the package I felt REALLY confident that they were going to stand the test of time. No doubts. I felt like the added youtube channel explaining exactly how to use the product was a great bonus. Cons: The string used to pull the wings tight to the center piece could be a little bit stronger. While pulling the wing against the center piece of one unit the string snapped and I was left with a center screw only partially installed. To get around that I had to insert a very thin nail into one of the smaller holes next to the center hole to anchor the wing and prevent it from spinning so that I could get the first smaller side screw inserted. To make matters more challenging, because the string had snapped, I had to use a pair of plyers to pull the wing tight by firmly pulling the center screw towards me. The fortunate thing is that I was able to avoid having the wing fall into the drywall cavity and no further holes were necessary. If you’re going to use this product I would actually recommend using fishing line or a guitar string. Alternatively, because the product comes with two strings, I would DEFINITELY only use one string for two units and then switch to the other. Summary: Once the mount was installed ln the wall it was very clear that it wasn’t going to move. I have a high level of confidence that my television will stay put and I do not feel like I need to worry about my son being crushed by a falling television. All in all, this is a great product and I highly recommend it.

Un invento fenómeno. Para aguantar grandes pesos en pladur. Y muy fácil de poner.

Ich habe die Hohlraumdübel für die Montage vom Fersehen an einer Gipskartonwand verwendet und bin sehr zufrieden. Die Verarbeitung wirkt hochwertig und die Montage war dank der beiliegenden Anleitung unkompliziert.

I used it to ancre a 50 lbs weight bench to the wall and the installation is very solid. The installation is also very easy compared to other heavy duty dry wall ancre I have used. It is a little bit pricey though, so I will use them only when really necessary.
