The Plasplugs Hollow Door Anchors excel in providing secure attachment points in challenging hollow structures where traditional wall plugs or screws would fail. Their expanding wing design ensures a 'rivet-type' action, gripping firmly against the inside of the panel. This makes them ideal for tasks like mounting lightweight curtain rods over a hollow door, installing small decorative shelves on thin partition walls, or securing picture frames in a caravan where wall construction is often thin.
For instance, if you need to hang a lightweight mirror on a hollow bedroom door, these anchors distribute the weight effectively across the inside of the door panel, preventing pull-out. Similarly, in a boat or RV, where every inch is vital and wall materials vary, these anchors offer a reliable solution for securing items without extensive structural modification. The multi-thread technology works by creating a more robust engagement with the screw, enhancing the overall tensile strength and shear resistance of the fixture. Always ensure the item being mounted does not exceed the anchor's weight capacity, which is generally suitable for light to medium loads.
Drill the Hole: Using a 6mm drill bit, carefully drill a hole through the hollow door or thin panel at the desired fixing point. Ensure the hole is clean and free of debris.
Insert the Anchor: Push the yellow Plasplugs Hollow Door Anchor into the drilled hole until its collar sits flush with the surface.
Secure with Screw: Insert a No. 6 screw into the anchor. As you tighten the screw, the expanding wings of the anchor will spread out behind the panel, creating a secure grip. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the anchor or damage the panel.
These anchors are specifically designed for:
Hollow-core flush doors
Thin-skin partitions
Plywood
Fibreglass
Other hollow constructions They are compatible with No. 6 screws.
Once installed, these anchors require no specific maintenance. Avoid applying excessive force or weight beyond their intended capacity, as this could compromise the fixing or damage the panel. If an anchor needs to be removed, it may leave a larger hole than initially drilled due to the expansion mechanism, requiring filling and repair. Store unused anchors in a dry place.
