The Ultimate Hassle-Free Metal Plasterboard Fixing Solution

Secure your fixtures with speed and confidence using our Heavy Duty Zinc Metal Self-Drilling Wall Anchors. Perfect for securing light to medium loads where finding a stud is impossible, these anchors eliminate the frustration of drilling and complicated setting tools, providing a superior hold compared to standard plastic plugs. Our product is ideal for every scale of project, from single picture hanging to professional trade installations, offered across six optimized pack quantities.

Key Features & Advantages:

  1. Ultra-Fast Self-Drilling Technology: Simply pierce the plasterboard paper and screw the anchor home using a standard Phillips screwdriver or driver bit. No pre-drilled pilot hole is required, saving significant time on site.

  2. Superior Metal Strength: Crafted from durable, corrosion-resistant Zinc Alloy (Zamak), these fixings offer higher load capacity and are significantly more robust and long-lasting than traditional nylon alternatives.

  3. Medium-Load Confidence: Rated for a Safe Working Load (SWL) of up to 14 kg (30 lbs) in Shear for 12.5mm plasterboard, these plugs are perfect for hanging mirrors, curtain rails, picture frames, clocks, and light shelving units.

  4. Compact 28mm Design: The reduced anchor length is optimised for standard UK plasterboard thickness while minimising protrusion depth, reducing the risk of hitting services in shallow wall cavities.

Installation Guide (Quick Reference):

  1. Locate the desired fixing spot on the drywall/plasterboard.

  2. Using a Phillips screwdriver or low-speed drill, drive the metal anchor directly into the board until the flange is flush with the surface.

  3. Insert and gently tighten the screw until the fixture is secure. Do not over-tighten, as this can damage the drywall substrate.
