Expanding plastic anchors are tiny pieces you stick into a hole in your wall. They are made out of a unique type of plastic that is designed to expand or get bigger when you screw something into them. That is what makes them so helpful! They’re also easy to use, making them great for a ton of different projects, such as hanging up pictures, putting up shelves, or simply attaching things to walls in your garage or workshop.
An is used by first drilling a hole in the wall where you would like the anchor. This is an important step as it makes a pocket for the anchor to sit into. You drill the hole and then will take the anchor and place it into the hole gently and not too loosely so that it fits snug. Once you’ve placed the anchor, you can then screw in your fastener, be it a screw or a hook. The wall anchor expands as you screw down, which holds the fastener in the given location. It's really that easy!
If you need to hang something heavy, such as a large mirror, a TV, or even a piece of furniture, you want to be certain that it is safe and secure. For these heavier items where you would like to have that extra support, you can use expanding plastic anchors. They perform better than conventional screws or nails, because as you tighten the screw, it expands and grips the wall more tightly.
The other great thing is how versatile expanding plastic anchors are. This means that you can use them on lots of different types of surfaces. They do great on drywall, concrete, and even brick! For example, if you are trying to hang a towel rack in your bathroom, or increase your storage by adding some shelves to your garage, or replace an ugly light fixture in your living room, then you can use expansion plastic anchors to make your job much easier and organized.
They are also available in a variety of shapes and sizes, which is an added advantage. Which means you can get the perfect fit for whichever project you were working on. Whether you need a small anchor for hanging a lightweight picture frame, or a large anchor for a heavy-duty application, there is an expanding plastic anchor well suited to the task!
If you need to hang something particularly heavy, such as a large piece of furniture or a very large mirror, you may want to consider a toggle bolt. A toggle bolt is a specialized kind of expanding plastic anchor that works with a metal piece that flips open on the opposite side of the wall. The metal rod provides additional support and can support far more weight than a regular expanding plastic anchor can.
To use a toggle bolt, you first drill a larger hole in the wall than you would for an ordinary expanding plastic anchor. That's because the toggle bolt needs space to turn the metal piece open. You insert the toggle bolt into the hole, and then you screw the screw into the bolt. Tightening the screw flips the metal bar open, for yet more support to help keep the heavy item in place.
