Self-drilling anchors

Self-drilling drywall anchors, for example, are commonly used for hanging items such as towel racks, coat racks, and curtains, and even TVs. They are typically made of durable plastic and feature a deep thread design, which provides strong engagement with the wallboard. This type of anchor is ideal for use with hollow drywall, gypsum wallboard, or Sheetrock.

One of the key advantages of self-drilling anchors is their ease of installation. They are designed to drill accurate holes without the need for any additional preparation, making them a quick and efficient solution for hanging items. Additionally, their smooth starting system and strong grip strength ensure a secure and reliable hold.

When using self-drilling anchors, it is important to consider the weight of the item being hung and choose an anchor with a suitable load-bearing capacity. For example, some heavy-duty self-drilling drywall anchors can sustain weights of up to 65 lbs or more, making them suitable for hanging heavier objects.

Anchors for concrete, brick, and block

When working with concrete, brick, or block walls, it is often necessary to use anchors before securing screws to hang items. The type of anchor required depends on the weight of the object being hung and the material being drilled into.

For light-duty applications, such as hanging items that weigh up to 50 pounds, you can use plastic wall plugs or spring bolts. Spring bolts feature a set of wings that spring open once the bolt is placed in the hole and the screw is tightened, providing a secure hold.

For medium-duty applications, such as metal railings or grab bars, you can use concrete screws or lag shields. Concrete screws, also known as Tapcon® masonry screws, are self-tapping and can be used in brick, mortar joints, CMU, block, or solid concrete. Lag shields are used in conjunction with lag bolts and are available in short or long versions to suit the depth of the surface.

For heavy-duty applications and structural needs, you can use anchor bolts or lead screw anchors. These are suitable for hanging items over 200 pounds and can be used in concrete blocks, thin-wall concrete, or solid concrete.

When working with hard surfaces like concrete, brick, or block, it is important to use a hammer drill with a masonry bit. Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask, and consider ear protection for larger jobs as hammer drilling can be very loud.

Hollow wall anchors

There are several types of hollow wall anchors available, each with its own unique features and applications:

Toggle Bolts

Toggle bolts, also known as butterfly anchors, are a common type of hollow wall anchor. They consist of a bolt and a spring-loaded toggle that opens behind the wall, providing a secure hold. Toggle bolts can carry twice the load of standard wing anchors and are available in different materials, including carbon steel and stainless steel. They are ideal for applications that require superior holding power and metal-to-metal fastening.

Self-Drilling Drywall Anchors

Self-drilling drywall anchors, such as the TOGGLER SnapSkru®, are designed to be installed directly into walls and ceilings without pre-drilling. They feature a unique locking action that resists vibration and shock, providing the strongest hold among self-drilling drywall anchors. These anchors are ideal for applications that require a secure and shock-resistant fastening.

Plastic Toggle Anchors

Plastic toggle anchors, like the TOGGLER TOGGLER®, are versatile anchors that can be used in almost any material. They require a 5/16" drill hole for installation and can hold up to 159 lbs in 5/8" drywall. Plastic toggle anchors are an economical option for various applications and provide a secure hold in hollow walls.

All-Purpose Anchors

All-purpose anchors, such as the TOGGLER ALLIGATOR®, are designed to hold securely in both solid and hollow walls or ceilings. They feature a polypropylene body that seals the hole and provides superior holding power. These anchors are ideal for applications where versatility and a strong hold are required.

Zinc-Plated Steel Anchors

Zinc-plated steel anchors offer heavy-duty performance and corrosion resistance. They are available in various sizes and kits, including hollow wall anchor screws, bolts, and wing nut sets. These anchors are ideal for applications that require high strength and durability.
