hi mate, just a little question: I have used the "hollow wall anchors" to put a 14 kilos tv set on the plaster wall, they worked beautifully, but I have a 58 inches tv (it must be 26 kilos at least) set that I am planning to put on the brick wall (sitting room chimney) and I found among my screws 4 concrete/brick screws (they're for about 70 mm long); my question is "would be the concrete/brick screws enough for hanging the 58 inches tv on the wall or it would be better to use concrete/brick plugs+screws?? for the job. thanks a lot.
Hi there Charlie, David again. Do you have a video on what is the best product for filling deep drill holes in masonry walls please. Kind regards David
Thanks so much guys. If I have one regret it's how I inexplicably didn't conclude by saying which ones based on all the tests, I would recommend for various jobs. Might have to be a brief follow up video for that.
Good videos never seem to long! You know the old saying..."time flies when you're having fun" 👍 and for me personally learning new things I'm interested in is having fun🙂
This was such a helpful video!! Having lived in a solidly built Edwardian house for over 30 years and where nearly every wall was seriously well built with brick, I have recently had to move to a house built in 1995, seemingly made entirely from some sort of soft cheese. The walls are nearly all dot and dab plasterboard and I am just about to jump in and start fixing things. Because the house was previously a let, and tenants were not permitted to drill, it's never had anything much into any wall. I have never ever worked with plaster board, other than to know I hate the stuff with a passion and am not looking forward to having to drill large holes to put strange fixings through.....but this video has given me a lot of excellent info and some very useful tips and tricks to use when working out the various thicknesses and voids I need to know about. Thank you for such a comprehensive guide! First time searching....found you....subscribed! 😊👍🏻
As a fresh homeowner, getting to the stage of fixing various bits on the walls and seeing the miriad of different fixings out there gave me the sweats. This video cleared up virtually everything I needed to know to confidently choose the right fixings for my needs. +1 Sub! Thank you!
BIG thank you Charlie ! I'm fitting curtains and blinds for a couple of years now in Ireland. This video was extremely helpful. 90% of the times I'm the fitting into hollow plaster board. Your demonstration and explanation was far better than any tips I've ever got from anyone else in the trade !
Thanks buddy. Yes that's what I used to do as a living too. We installed more often than not into plasterboard. Glad you found it useful and thanks for getting in touch 👊
@@CharlieDIYte Ok I spoke to soon ... I now need to refit 3 x ceiling roses, and the plasterer has covered over the screw holes!! Do I try to find the joist (how?)? Or use plasterboard fixings?
Can’t thank you enough for this comprehensive video. We bought our 100 year old, wall-to-wall plaster home 2 years ago and have barely hung up anything because we were so perplexed and scared of drilling into plaster and brick. Knowledge is power and your videos gave us the understanding and confidence we needed to roll up our sleeves and get to work! Thank you so much!
Fantastic video, just what I was after. I have just moved into a new build and dreading mounting anything on plasterboard. This a great guide. What I would appreciate is a guide to common things to mount - coat hooks, picture frames, mirrors, chest of drawers to walls(for child safety), cabinets etc
Have seen a few of these fixing videos and this is really useful too as it gives a comprehensive updated guide to each fixing and their positives and negatives and it really does help when choosing between them. Certainly wish I had seen something like this when I was mounting my old 40" Plasma screen on the wall! Compared to that thing modern TVs are feather weight. The Duopower is great and copes with situations that don't require too much strength and also means you can have a single item in the toolbox. However, the other fixings at the higher prices are very useful to have in the toolbox too for when things need a stronger support. Though a longer video, the subject needs it. You could spend so much more time on the weight test with completely new board for each fixing and so on but that test is probably closer to a real world situation than something done in ideal laboratory conditions. It gives a consistent test, ideal for comparing them. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Thanks Glen, I really appreciate that. Yes your summary is what my vid is rather lacking. Having promised myself I would take my time, in the end I didn't sum up properly what I use, which is broadly in line with your experience. Yes, no real need to use a new board for each fixing as 30 cms apart, the collapse of each bit of board around the fixing didn't effect the one next to it.
Great video Charlie. I successfully hang up a 1.5m Oak Coat Rack with 6 Geefix attachments. It worked like a charm and covered an unsightly hole from a previous botched installation.
Found this vid yesterday when looking for advice on plaster wall fixtures in anticipation of a new TV purchase and intent to mount it on our bedroom wall. In absence of a snaptoggle in the local DIY store, I purchased a set of Fisher's duotec 10s and they functioned perfectly on the wall we have. Mounting the 65" TV with 6 of those seems overkill too, but I can sleep better knowing the contraption is secured this well. Really appreciate your guidance here and such a informative and thorough review of options available for this particular challenge. Thank you!
Charlie.........I'm saving this video because without doubt, it's the most informative one out there! Your reviews are always "real world". Many thanks mate. Dave👍
Everyone who owns a modern home should be sent this link and made to watch. Just bought my first house and bought it off plan so it’s an adventure working out what walls are dab etc. I was always told to avoid drilling into the adhesive but now know that this is wrong. Thanks Charlie, I’ve bought all those fixings over the last year and should have just watched this first. Cheers Jase 👍
Thank you , the most informative video I have seen on plasterboard fixings. It does make a mockery of modern house building from the the last 25 - 30 years in that you have to spend half hour watching a video and require umpteen different fixing that you will need for what is a simple task in a traditional built or older built house. On the flip side though I’m not completely anti stud walled houses as there are benefits when doing alternations , electrical and pipe work compared to solid walls.
Thank you so much. After planning to fix a wall cupboard to my office wall I despaired when I could only find one stud in the area I wanted to fix to. Having established I had one layer of plasterboard with about 30mm air gap to the solid wall, this video gave me the confidence I needed to choose wall fixings. I probably have way more than strictly needed, but I'm confident the cupboard should stay up :)
Charlie you hero. Just saved me a client. I was having a dreadful rime with those cavity wall anchors... got to have a plate between them! Thanks so much
This is an exceptionally good video! I'm from Australia and the brands available here are different but the different concepts of fixings are still found here, thank you very much!
When I use the spring toggle anchors, to eliminate the sloppy hole, I fit a piece of wooden dowel onto the screw underneath the toggle. That really improves the fitting and you get a much firmer fit.
Thank you for this informative and well paced video -- the length is perfect, you didn't skip anything or gloss over important details. Absolutely stellar work.
Logically and clearly presented, this is one of the best DIY videos I’ve seen as I now know how to fix my daughter’s ceiling mounted curtain rail. Thank you!
I could not imagine a more comprehensive, interesting video about this topic. The effort on your part to put together such a quality review is amazing and all to help others. Thank you. Subscribed!
You never disappoint Charlie! Had a problem with it due a short space between the plaster and the concrete wall behind it, and found here the solution! Thanks for the great content
Very comprehensive video and some good knowledge. Definitely essential viewing for any DIYer with lots of Plasterboard walls. I opt for Fischer Duo Power for everyday use after Andy Mac did a video on them and Hollow Wall Anchors which I almost dismissed until I saw your video about using a setting tool, which completely changed my view on them. If I ever had to mount a TV or anything more expensive, I'd be going into the bricks or Studs because, at a certain load, the fixing becomes irrelevant because its the plasterboard itself that fails.
Great update. I'm a bit of a wall anchor nerd. I like to think that I know what's on the market but today you stumped me with the T-Bolt, for which I thank you.
Definitely no need to apologise for the length of video Charlie. I wish I'd had the benefit of watching these types of videos from people with experience such as yourself many many years ago when I first started fixing into plasterboard! And really interesting to see the different fixings available. Thanks for taking the time to make this video 👍
Hi Charlie Great video...pity it wasn't around when I bought my house in 1984, but most of those fittings were not available then. It was my first experience with plasterboard fittings and like you I tried a lot of then before settling on a few I would use all the time. In the beginning I used the Plasplugs cavity fixings or a version of them, only good for very light stuff like a light picture frame. Plasplugs do have a heave duty version but I quickly settled on the Rawl Hollow wall anchor to ensure heavy items stay where they are supposed to. But I ran into a problem with them on my internal walls downstairs as they were all Dot and Dab, my external walls all have studs fitted , but they are fitted horizontally in stead of vertical. So I started using a Thorsman TSP10 (or TSP6 for small stuff) I think they used to be called Duo Max. They are still around but owned by Schneider Electric. They are a bit like your Timco ones in that they have a nut to catch a threaded screw but they have washer on the outside attached to two plastic spirals which connect to the nut and wings. You drill the hole, shove them in and then you can remove the screw, place the thing you are fitting against the wall and then put the screw in and tighten. The wings (4) are drawn to the back of the plasterboard and keep everything in place. When I used them on the dot and dab walls I used to drill a 10mm hole in the plasterboard and then insert a 6mm masonry drill in to drill into the brick to allow the long screw sit in. The Corefix would solve my problem now but were not available then. By the way, the Rawl Hollow anchor are very settable with a screwdriver if you drill exactly the right size hole, the two "fangs" on them are locking fangs which stop the fitting rotating, but you must tap them into the plasterboard first. And you are right about the self drilling plasterboard fittings....they are junk. One final word on plasterboard...it hides a multitude...usually things like cables and water pipes. Some of my neighbours have drilled through both...and while the hole in the water pipes created a mess...the hole in the cable nearly killed someone. To overcome this I usually drill a hole in the plasterboard without letting the drill go very far in and then shine a torch in and poke a small screwdriver in to feel if there is anything in there. Take care Dave
I've been hanging up curtain rails and despairing as the kit instructions just didn't work at all and I couldn't work out why. Your video is absolutely crystal clear, just what I needed.
Fantastically comprehensive. As a first time homebuyer, the first DIY job I had was hanging things ( clocks, alarm speaker, mirrors ). I had no idea what to use, what weight things would support. It was kinda worrying. This video gives all the answers - thank you so much.
What a great and informed video. You were right to keep everything in one video despite the length as it forms an easy self contained reference. Really very well done.
Please please please don't apologize, that was an absolute thorough video which covered everything, I'm installing my new kitchen tomorrow and my walls are dot and dab so I'm leaning towards the corefix and again thanks for your insight because I would not have come across these. Thanks again for a yet another quality video. Kind regards David
So glad you mentioned the awful bloody speed plug AKA helter-skelter. I just moved into a house where the last genius put them in *everywhere*, and none of them have held up. Also not helped by the fact that there's not enough cavity behind the plasterboard so he didn't even manage to get them in fully.
RUclips randomly suggesting a video, sometimes it just gets it right. I don't actually need to affix anything but watched the whole thing regardless. Pretty handy thing to learn. Added to the watch later for future reference and an easy subscribe. You've made a fantastic video, well put together, informational, huge lack of ramblings and put together in a great order. Hugely appreciated. I'll be sure to check out some of your other videos later.
As someone who's lived in two new builds I feel pretty well versed on fixing to plasterboard on both dot and dabbed walls and stud partitions. I have tried a lot of these fixings myself and have slimmed my fixings box down to a few go to items. I use red Rawlplug Uno to fix light picture frames to walls in conjunction with a no. 3 picture hook as Charlie demonstrated in a previous video. The Uno forms a wedge in plasterboard and is superior to the 6x30 Duo power fixing in my experience. I have used the 6x30 mm for installing blind brackets into dabbed plasterboard in a window recess. In this case I used an old screw to hammer one plug through into the blockwork before installing a second plug into the board followed by a 70mm screw through both of them to achieve a rock solid fixing. For 90% of tasks I have used the expanding hollow wall anchors with the setting tool. Toilet roll holders, mirrors (7kg), towel rails, light duty shelving, coat hooks have all been successfully and solidly installed. I use the Stellafix fixing as a problem solver, for example I was too close to a metal stud so the metal hollow wall anchor wouldn't open. I opened the hole up top 10mm and used the nylon fixing as it was able to knot up against the stud where the anchor would not function. For installing TVs (I've done 3 onto [partition walls) I have used the Geefix fixing with a 25mm hole saw bit for a quick and easy install. All TVs are absolutely solid on the wall. As Charlie mentioned, the spade bits make a mess of the wall, particularly if they have a plaster skim coat so I also have a 20mm hole saw used for some Bullfix. Speaking of which, perhaps it was my situation but I struggled to get the Bullfix universal to open in the collar and has to trim some plaster away with a knife to get the "horns" to rotate through and open in the cavity. In my experience, the plastic used on the Timco snap toggles is brittle to the extent that the fixing has dropped into the cavity. I noticed Charlie used the Toggler brand ones which seem superior. I would avoid the Timco ones personally although it could simply have been a bad batch. Finally, Dryline Pro plugs are a well designed and cheaper alternative to Corefix and Ridgifix on D and D walls although the inventor is retiring and has not sold the IP for someone to keep manufacturing. Anyway you can now buy are the last ones out there which is sad as they were half the price of the alternatives. Definitely worth a look. I've had the radiators off in our house and replaced the single brown plug with a proper fixing solution for the substrate. Some people, eh!!
Wow Tom, what a comment - massive thanks for that. Funnily enough I used to be a big fan of the brown Unos. Feel very secure when you tighten them. I think I was a bit put off when I did my first plasterboard fixing video, and you had to be laser accurate with your screw (getting it through the centre of the fixing at the back) to get the fixing to umbrella open, but maybe that's not quite how it was designed to work? I'm cross I didn't mention the Rigifix - it not being something I have experience using but which a number of you have recommended. It looks very good, and I'm intrigued by the Dryline Pro. 👍
Hi there, I'm in a new build and I've watched this video about 5 times and knocked on my wall a dozen more trying to figure out what the hell the craic is... I am looking to fix 1.2m H x 1.2m W shelving via Twin Slot shelving. I initially just used rubber rawl plugs which I was told by my local DIY store is a no no.. i'm definitely a novice and am tearing my hair out.. The wall is definitely plasterboard and I've located the studs with the little magnets. I've made pilot holes and used a paper clip to get depth of the wall - which seems to be around 38mm-40mm... does this mean I have successfully located the stud and I need to drill into the stud? I've got hollow anchor fixings but i'm not sure if there is space for the fixing to expand... Now i am paranoid but have no idea what the right solution is. Any guidance would be so helpful! Thank you.
@@lotusrow if the wall is internal, and it sounds as though it is, then you need a hollow wall fixing or you can fix into the studs if you have them. However, some new builds have metal studs which are tricky to fix to as they're narrow and you want to hit the centre of them. If you have wooden studs, go straight in with a 50mm woodscrew. To determine the stud material, run a magnet up the stud. If it sticks in every position, it's steel. If it only sticks in spots then it's wooden (the magnet sticks to the drywall screw heads.
Thanks. 55lb+ mirror to go up on plasterboard (previously internal double doorway I'm told) with little experience in the DIY field this was a great help
This is the most information I've received from any DIY or video explaining which type of wall fixing to use... thanks Charlie I'm a new subscriber after this post.
Another excellent review. Snap Toggles are my go-to heavy duty fastener where there is a wall cavity. Have found these to be also brilliant in outdoor applications such as with timber cladding or even inside a shower cubicle. For these, I swap out the lightly zinc coated bolt for a stainless one, and smear silicone under the bolt head.
Just about to mount a 40" TV into dot dab and got the corefix after plenty of what appear to be positive youtube reviews including I think yours :) Anecdotally I have the Bosch Truvo funnily enough and not had a problem with it so far! Great video as always
Mounted my 65" to dot and dab - may have been overkill, but used x8 corefixes, and that thing is rock steady! I'm sure you won't have any problems with them at all!
Very useful. Thanks. Talking about hollow door fixings (there are still plenty about) there used to be Tulip plugs. These had no moving parts but just had petals that sprang open once you were clear of the inside surface of the plywood. To stop it turning inside the cavity you maintained a tension in the bolt as you turned it using a claw hammer or similar. Very small hole, strong, dirt cheap. Sadly no longer available. I've not seen any for 30 years.
Appreciate that video, brought a fixing tool as I was sick of them spinning around on me. Now I can do both :-) But setting tool worth £15 basis the amount of anchors I had gone through!
Thank you so much! Im a tenant who'd love a mirror cabinet/ storage in my bathroom but the plasterboard walls have prevented it (&massive exposed pipes dont allow for those over toilet storage things) the cheapest installation quote Ive received is £400. £800 avg & thats excluding materials etc. Noones even had look at it! Youve given me the knowledge & the confidence to go it alone. Ill probably fail but you never know. Thank you!
Hi Charlie, I came across your video here by chance. Wow! It is amazing. It's very informative and comprehensive. And it totally educated me on the topic! 🙂So, thank you, and keep up the great work!
Golden content, Hollow Wall Anchors are my goto favourite for most jobs, I use the tool as well, never had success using these fittings without the tool.
The brand 'Toggler' seems to be king for anchors and plugs. The snap toggle anchor for drywall, and the alligator plugs for brick walls, always rock solid. I've had so many issues with other brands like Fischer etc.. Most of the time Toggler has the best and most sturdy design out there..
Thank you for this wonderfully informative video, I am now subscribed !! As a side note, I must say you had me giggling when you said "I accept this is a bit crude....", as it immediately reminded me of the movie "Back to the future" when Doc says to Marty "Please excuse the crudity of this model , I didn't have time to build it to scale" lol. I have now ordered the pack of T-Bolts to fix my 60" tv to the wall. Also, the length of the video is not an issue and does not need an apology. The amount of thorough detail you give is needed to give the viewer all the information they need. Top job :D
Really good !!!!! 10/10 Son has house built 20/21 (during Covid) and all sorts of materials subsitituted - like one wall /window where they obviously ran out block and put a lintol across whole room!!!! Used metal tapping bolts into lintol as didn't know any better. Would have used this vid if know it was here.
Since I found the Geefix, I have not used any other product for plasterboard walls. I have hung 3mtr double radiators on them and I have had absolutely no movement. Outstanding fixing.
Aw, thanks so much mate. It's comments like this that keep me firing and they have a habit of cropping up when I'm thinking "d'you know what, this isn't worth all the hassle". Really appreciate it, thanks for taking the time to comment. Chuffed you found it useful. 👊
great vid charlie. looks like I'll be adding some geefix to my fixings box - love the fact you can add another screw into the wings. I also bought the gripits in an assortment box about 4 years and I regret it as I've only ever used a couple of them.
Thanks Peter. Yes those Gripits are a bit of a gimmick I'm afraid which is probably why the company ultimately went bust. Peter Jones ruthlessly exposed their flaws on Dragons Den when they first came to the public eye, by pulling the radiator off the mock up wall the inventor had fixed it to.
Great video again. Some subjects need longer videos and this is one example. One thing I suffer with is the fixings opening distance. My internal walls have a cardboard lattice inner core (about 25mm squares) and less than 25mm distance between the 2 layers of plasterboard. Some of the best fixtures I just cannot fit due to the lattice. Your video is excellent as it shows all the information I need. Many thanks!
Hi Charlie, loving all the different subjects you're covering so comprehensively. Thank you! Could I put in a request, which I think will be very popular and that is how to safely mount a TV above a central heating radiator. I want to do this, but want to make sure the screw plugs don't fail due to heat and how to protect the TV from heat damage.
It's basically a case of following the steps in my vid, to work out what's behind the wall and then what the best fixing to use is. You also want to double check there aren't any water pipes traveling up the wall to your upstairs if applicable. In terms of fixing, depending on the weight of the TV and whether the bracket is pivoting or not, one of those heavier duty fixings I showed with the anchor that opens up behind would be worth using.
Thank you so much for creating such an informative and well presented video. Super helpful to someone who has little DIY experience and who has, until now, had to reply on manufacturers blurb.
So grateful for your advice and demos. Just installed a Herschel infra red towel rail/heater in my bathroom using hollow wall anchors as per your recommendation, test and demo. Perfect! Really appreciate your stuff! Thanks again!
I appreciate your tutorials! Excellent! 90yo hubby needs a safety bar outside the bathtub, on the PLASTER wall. I think I found the stud. I cannot imagine him holding and pulling on the safety bar and it staying in the plaster wall. Suggestions, Please and thank you!❤ (Not in a position to hire a handyman.) I can do this!
Thanks Sandy The other thing you could do is buy one of these amzn.to/3MOM0I1 It will find any screws in the stud thereby showing you recall where to fix it. Good luck with the fixing the bar. 🤞
Good video test. Light weight I use speed screw fixings or the core fixing and for kitchen units hollow wall fixings. Duo power 65mm now going to be added on the van. Always learning

Thank you , the most informative video I have seen on plasterboard fixings. It does make a mockery of modern house building from the the last 25 - 30 years in that you have to spend half hour watching a video and require umpteen different fixing that you will need for what is a simple task in a traditional built or older built house. On the flip side though I’m not completely anti stud walled houses as there are benefits when doing alternations , electrical and pipe work compared to solid walls.
Thanks Ian. Yes and good for Wi-fi - assuming the walls aren't packed with foil backed PIR. 😉👍
Thank you so much. After planning to fix a wall cupboard to my office wall I despaired when I could only find one stud in the area I wanted to fix to. Having established I had one layer of plasterboard with about 30mm air gap to the solid wall, this video gave me the confidence I needed to choose wall fixings. I probably have way more than strictly needed, but I'm confident the cupboard should stay up :)
Glad to hear it. Thanks for letting me know Lynne.
Charlie you hero. Just saved me a client. I was having a dreadful rime with those cavity wall anchors... got to have a plate between them! Thanks so much
This is an exceptionally good video! I'm from Australia and the brands available here are different but the different concepts of fixings are still found here, thank you very much!
When I use the spring toggle anchors, to eliminate the sloppy hole, I fit a piece of wooden dowel onto the screw underneath the toggle. That really improves the fitting and you get a much firmer fit.
This is a wonderfully comprehensive video. The split front/back video views of fixings going in is so helpful. Thanks for all the work you put in.
Thank you for this informative and well paced video -- the length is perfect, you didn't skip anything or gloss over important details. Absolutely stellar work.
Thanks so much - I really appreciate that - both the comment and the donation 🙏👊
Logically and clearly presented, this is one of the best DIY videos I’ve seen as I now know how to fix my daughter’s ceiling mounted curtain rail. Thank you!
Thanks so much Liz. Good luck with the install. 👊
Curtain rail is now successfully re-attached to the ceiling using snap toggles 🥳
I was struggling with plasterboard screws not anymore after watching your videos and learn alot thankyou very much.
You're welcome. Glad you found it useful and thanks for the comment 👍
I could not imagine a more comprehensive, interesting video about this topic. The effort on your part to put together such a quality review is amazing and all to help others. Thank you. Subscribed!
Thanks so much. It was a monster to put together so I really appreciate that!
Excellent video.This man knows what he’s talking about.Honest information.Time well spent listening to this.
Thanks mate 👊
You never disappoint Charlie!
Had a problem with it due a short space between the plaster and the concrete wall behind it, and found here the solution!
Thanks for the great content
Thanks buddy. Glad you found it useful. 👊
That was impressively thorough. Well done. Several of these fixings are new to me.
Undoubtly the best guide to plasterboard fixings. Saved.
Thanks 👊
Very comprehensive video and some good knowledge. Definitely essential viewing for any DIYer with lots of Plasterboard walls. I opt for Fischer Duo Power for everyday use after Andy Mac did a video on them and Hollow Wall Anchors which I almost dismissed until I saw your video about using a setting tool, which completely changed my view on them. If I ever had to mount a TV or anything more expensive, I'd be going into the bricks or Studs because, at a certain load, the fixing becomes irrelevant because its the plasterboard itself that fails.
Absolutely agree. Thanks for that 👍
Great update. I'm a bit of a wall anchor nerd. I like to think that I know what's on the market but today you stumped me with the T-Bolt, for which I thank you.
OMG this is by far the best fixing to drywall video I have ever seen. So good.
Thanks so much 👊
I've watched a ton of videos on this topic and yours, by far is the most informative of them all. Thank you
Definitely no need to apologise for the length of video Charlie. I wish I'd had the benefit of watching these types of videos from people with experience such as yourself many many years ago when I first started fixing into plasterboard! And really interesting to see the different fixings available. Thanks for taking the time to make this video 👍
Thanks Steve. Really appreciate that. 👊
HOLLOW WALL ANCHORS ARE MY FAVOURITE, THEY ARE THE BEST ALL ROUND IN COST AND PERFORMANCE!
That's a fair point 👍
Hi Charlie
Great video...pity it wasn't around when I bought my house in 1984, but most of those fittings were not available then.
It was my first experience with plasterboard fittings and like you I tried a lot of then before settling on a few I would use all the time.
In the beginning I used the Plasplugs cavity fixings or a version of them, only good for very light stuff like a light picture frame.
Plasplugs do have a heave duty version but I quickly settled on the Rawl Hollow wall anchor to ensure heavy items stay where they are supposed to.
But I ran into a problem with them on my internal walls downstairs as they were all Dot and Dab, my external walls all have studs fitted , but they are fitted horizontally in stead of vertical.
So I started using a Thorsman TSP10 (or TSP6 for small stuff) I think they used to be called Duo Max.
They are still around but owned by Schneider Electric.
They are a bit like your Timco ones in that they have a nut to catch a threaded screw but they have washer on the outside attached to two plastic spirals which connect to the nut and wings.
You drill the hole, shove them in and then you can remove the screw, place the thing you are fitting against the wall and then put the screw in and tighten.
The wings (4) are drawn to the back of the plasterboard and keep everything in place.
When I used them on the dot and dab walls I used to drill a 10mm hole in the plasterboard and then insert a 6mm masonry drill in to drill into the brick to allow the long screw sit in.
The Corefix would solve my problem now but were not available then.
By the way, the Rawl Hollow anchor are very settable with a screwdriver if you drill exactly the right size hole, the two "fangs" on them are locking fangs which stop the fitting rotating, but you must tap them into the plasterboard first.
And you are right about the self drilling plasterboard fittings....they are junk.
One final word on plasterboard...it hides a multitude...usually things like cables and water pipes.
Some of my neighbours have drilled through both...and while the hole in the water pipes created a mess...the hole in the cable nearly killed someone.
To overcome this I usually drill a hole in the plasterboard without letting the drill go very far in and then shine a torch in and poke a small screwdriver in to feel if there is anything in there.
Take care
Dave
I've been hanging up curtain rails and despairing as the kit instructions just didn't work at all and I couldn't work out why. Your video is absolutely crystal clear, just what I needed.
Glad to hear it, thanks for letting me know 👊
Thank you for a very thorough review video, especially where you show the parts that may go wrong.
You're welcome. Thanks for the comment 👍
Fantastically comprehensive. As a first time homebuyer, the first DIY job I had was hanging things ( clocks, alarm speaker, mirrors ). I had no idea what to use, what weight things would support. It was kinda worrying. This video gives all the answers - thank you so much.
What a great and informed video. You were right to keep everything in one video despite the length as it forms an easy self contained reference. Really very well done.
Thanks John, I really appreciate that 👍
I use multiple magnets to find the line of the stud, will normally get you around any rogue metal bits that arent near studs.
Fantastic and thoroughly comprehensive video, always a pleasure to watch and some how constantly relevant to stuff I need to do.
So glad to hear that Nick - can't thank you enough for watching my vids 👊
Please please please don't apologize, that was an absolute thorough video which covered everything, I'm installing my new kitchen tomorrow and my walls are dot and dab so I'm leaning towards the corefix and again thanks for your insight because I would not have come across these. Thanks again for a yet another quality video.
Kind regards David
You're very welcome David. Have a look at Rigifix too. They're a competitor to Corefix which I've never used but heard good things about.
So glad you mentioned the awful bloody speed plug AKA helter-skelter. I just moved into a house where the last genius put them in *everywhere*, and none of them have held up. Also not helped by the fact that there's not enough cavity behind the plasterboard so he didn't even manage to get them in fully.
They are truly dreadful. When the guys who started gripit broght out their own version of the Helter shelter I knew that business was doomed!
This sort of video is what RUclips is made for! Thanks!
RUclips randomly suggesting a video, sometimes it just gets it right. I don't actually need to affix anything but watched the whole thing regardless. Pretty handy thing to learn. Added to the watch later for future reference and an easy subscribe. You've made a fantastic video, well put together, informational, huge lack of ramblings and put together in a great order. Hugely appreciated. I'll be sure to check out some of your other videos later.
Thanks mate, really appreciate that. 👊
As someone who's lived in two new builds I feel pretty well versed on fixing to plasterboard on both dot and dabbed walls and stud partitions. I have tried a lot of these fixings myself and have slimmed my fixings box down to a few go to items.
I use red Rawlplug Uno to fix light picture frames to walls in conjunction with a no. 3 picture hook as Charlie demonstrated in a previous video. The Uno forms a wedge in plasterboard and is superior to the 6x30 Duo power fixing in my experience. I have used the 6x30 mm for installing blind brackets into dabbed plasterboard in a window recess. In this case I used an old screw to hammer one plug through into the blockwork before installing a second plug into the board followed by a 70mm screw through both of them to achieve a rock solid fixing.
For 90% of tasks I have used the expanding hollow wall anchors with the setting tool. Toilet roll holders, mirrors (7kg), towel rails, light duty shelving, coat hooks have all been successfully and solidly installed.
I use the Stellafix fixing as a problem solver, for example I was too close to a metal stud so the metal hollow wall anchor wouldn't open. I opened the hole up top 10mm and used the nylon fixing as it was able to knot up against the stud where the anchor would not function.
For installing TVs (I've done 3 onto [partition walls) I have used the Geefix fixing with a 25mm hole saw bit for a quick and easy install. All TVs are absolutely solid on the wall. As Charlie mentioned, the spade bits make a mess of the wall, particularly if they have a plaster skim coat so I also have a 20mm hole saw used for some Bullfix. Speaking of which, perhaps it was my situation but I struggled to get the Bullfix universal to open in the collar and has to trim some plaster away with a knife to get the "horns" to rotate through and open in the cavity.
In my experience, the plastic used on the Timco snap toggles is brittle to the extent that the fixing has dropped into the cavity. I noticed Charlie used the Toggler brand ones which seem superior. I would avoid the Timco ones personally although it could simply have been a bad batch.
Finally, Dryline Pro plugs are a well designed and cheaper alternative to Corefix and Ridgifix on D and D walls although the inventor is retiring and has not sold the IP for someone to keep manufacturing. Anyway you can now buy are the last ones out there which is sad as they were half the price of the alternatives. Definitely worth a look. I've had the radiators off in our house and replaced the single brown plug with a proper fixing solution for the substrate. Some people, eh!!
Wow Tom, what a comment - massive thanks for that. Funnily enough I used to be a big fan of the brown Unos. Feel very secure when you tighten them. I think I was a bit put off when I did my first plasterboard fixing video, and you had to be laser accurate with your screw (getting it through the centre of the fixing at the back) to get the fixing to umbrella open, but maybe that's not quite how it was designed to work? I'm cross I didn't mention the Rigifix - it not being something I have experience using but which a number of you have recommended. It looks very good, and I'm intrigued by the Dryline Pro. 👍
What size expanding hollow wall anchors do you use please?
@@Nyle95 M5 x 53mm
Hi there, I'm in a new build and I've watched this video about 5 times and knocked on my wall a dozen more trying to figure out what the hell the craic is... I am looking to fix 1.2m H x 1.2m W shelving via Twin Slot shelving. I initially just used rubber rawl plugs which I was told by my local DIY store is a no no.. i'm definitely a novice and am tearing my hair out..
The wall is definitely plasterboard and I've located the studs with the little magnets. I've made pilot holes and used a paper clip to get depth of the wall - which seems to be around 38mm-40mm... does this mean I have successfully located the stud and I need to drill into the stud? I've got hollow anchor fixings but i'm not sure if there is space for the fixing to expand... Now i am paranoid but have no idea what the right solution is. Any guidance would be so helpful! Thank you.
@@lotusrow if the wall is internal, and it sounds as though it is, then you need a hollow wall fixing or you can fix into the studs if you have them. However, some new builds have metal studs which are tricky to fix to as they're narrow and you want to hit the centre of them. If you have wooden studs, go straight in with a 50mm woodscrew. To determine the stud material, run a magnet up the stud. If it sticks in every position, it's steel. If it only sticks in spots then it's wooden (the magnet sticks to the drywall screw heads.
Thanks. 55lb+ mirror to go up on plasterboard (previously internal double doorway I'm told) with little experience in the DIY field this was a great help
Glad you found it useful. 👍
This is the most information I've received from any DIY or video explaining which type of wall fixing to use... thanks Charlie I'm a new subscriber after this post.
Thank you so much! Now I know the best fixing for my very heavy mirror. I'm in the US, but I managed to find them. Subscribed!
Brilliant news. Humbled you found my vid in the US and managed to source the fixing.
Wow, I've never seen the screws with the metal fixing inside. Great video. Very detailed.
Love the bullfix ones. I've hung a 42" LCD TV and a 25KG electrical rad and no issues at all.
Another excellent review. Snap Toggles are my go-to heavy duty fastener where there is a wall cavity. Have found these to be also brilliant in outdoor applications such as with timber cladding or even inside a shower cubicle. For these, I swap out the lightly zinc coated bolt for a stainless one, and smear silicone under the bolt head.
The singularly most useful video on this topic. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this!! As a first time home owner, I had zero clue what to do. So many fabulous tips and knowledge shared. So very helpful 😊
We particularly enjoyed the part at the end where you put maximum weights on the snap toggles 👍
You have the best video on the subject of plasterboard anchors and anchor weight tests! Great job! 👍
Thanks, I appreciate that 👊
Best video on this subject by farrrrrrrrrrrr. I have watched many, and none compare. Bravo.
Matt that's incredibly kind - really appreciate the comment 👊
Just about to mount a 40" TV into dot dab and got the corefix after plenty of what appear to be positive youtube reviews including I think yours :) Anecdotally I have the Bosch Truvo funnily enough and not had a problem with it so far! Great video as always
Mounted my 65" to dot and dab - may have been overkill, but used x8 corefixes, and that thing is rock steady! I'm sure you won't have any problems with them at all!
Videos like this are the reason i love RUclips and dont even own a TV, ... thank you for this.
Thanks Paul. Really appreciate that 👊
Very useful. Thanks. Talking about hollow door fixings (there are still plenty about) there used to be Tulip plugs. These had no moving parts but just had petals that sprang open once you were clear of the inside surface of the plywood. To stop it turning inside the cavity you maintained a tension in the bolt as you turned it using a claw hammer or similar. Very small hole, strong, dirt cheap. Sadly no longer available. I've not seen any for 30 years.
Appreciate that video, brought a fixing tool as I was sick of them spinning around on me. Now I can do both :-) But setting tool worth £15 basis the amount of anchors I had gone through!
My wife waved our stud detector in my general direction and it blew up! No joke.
Your videos are the absolute best btw❤
Thank you so much! Im a tenant who'd love a mirror cabinet/ storage in my bathroom but the plasterboard walls have prevented it (&massive exposed pipes dont allow for those over toilet storage things) the cheapest installation quote Ive received is £400. £800 avg & thats excluding materials etc. Noones even had look at it! Youve given me the knowledge & the confidence to go it alone. Ill probably fail but you never know. Thank you!
You won't fail. The more you plan the greater the chance of success. Good luck. 🤞
Excellent video Charlie. It was good that it was that long. Covered everything. Thank you. 👍
Thanks so much for the comment. Really appreciate that 🙏
Hi Charlie,
I came across your video here by chance. Wow! It is amazing. It's very informative and comprehensive. And it totally educated me on the topic! 🙂So, thank you, and keep up the great work!
Thanks Gabriel. I really appreciate the comment and am chuffed you found it useful.
Golden content, Hollow Wall Anchors are my goto favourite for most jobs, I use the tool as well, never had success using these fittings without the tool.
Thanks. I agree, they're damn good. 👊
After a hollow wall anchor chewing my wall up (didn’t know about the setting tools till now) this has been very informative
We've all done that 👊
Moving to my new home next week, just the video i was looking for! Awesome content as always.
Thanks. Good luck with the move 👊
The brand 'Toggler' seems to be king for anchors and plugs. The snap toggle anchor for drywall, and the alligator plugs for brick walls, always rock solid. I've had so many issues with other brands like Fischer etc.. Most of the time Toggler has the best and most sturdy design out there..
Certainly for snap toggles. I think Fischer do some great fixings though - particularly the Duopower.
Thank you for this wonderfully informative video, I am now subscribed !! As a side note, I must say you had me giggling when you said "I accept this is a bit crude....", as it immediately reminded me of the movie "Back to the future" when Doc says to Marty "Please excuse the crudity of this model , I didn't have time to build it to scale" lol. I have now ordered the pack of T-Bolts to fix my 60" tv to the wall. Also, the length of the video is not an issue and does not need an apology. The amount of thorough detail you give is needed to give the viewer all the information they need. Top job :D
You explained and demonstrated everything very clearly. Excellent informative video on plasterboard fixings.
Thanks 👍
Really good !!!!! 10/10 Son has house built 20/21 (during Covid) and all sorts of materials subsitituted - like one wall /window where they obviously ran out block and put a lintol across whole room!!!! Used metal tapping bolts into lintol as didn't know any better. Would have used this vid if know it was here.
Thank you for a very comprehensive survey. I had been going to put up a bookshelf with Molly bolts, but I’ve now followed your link for the Bullfix
You're very welcome Andrew, and good choice with the Bullfix, oh and thanks for buying through the link. Good luck with the book shelf. 👍
Since I found the Geefix, I have not used any other product for plasterboard walls. I have hung 3mtr double radiators on them and I have had absolutely no movement. Outstanding fixing.
Yes it's still the strongest fixing on the market for plasterboard. 👊
Really straightforward and comprehensive
Thanks 👊
Thanks so much, I'm looking to fix shelves over plasterboards, and I was wondering how to safely!
Thanks Michela. Really glad you found it useful. 👊
Fantastic, great to have a comprehensive video, so useful!
You're welcome. Thanks for the comment. 👊
Absolutely fabulous and in-depth video. Thanks, Charlie!
This is surely the greatest video on the whole of RUclips. It reminds me of the early days of videojug and youtube. Thank you, sincerely.
Aw, thanks so much mate. It's comments like this that keep me firing and they have a habit of cropping up when I'm thinking "d'you know what, this isn't worth all the hassle". Really appreciate it, thanks for taking the time to comment. Chuffed you found it useful. 👊
Great comprehensive video Charlie. I'm an anchor man so glad they meet with approval!
It's difficult to fault them, isn't it 👍
great vid charlie. looks like I'll be adding some geefix to my fixings box - love the fact you can add another screw into the wings. I also bought the gripits in an assortment box about 4 years and I regret it as I've only ever used a couple of them.
Thanks Peter. Yes those Gripits are a bit of a gimmick I'm afraid which is probably why the company ultimately went bust. Peter Jones ruthlessly exposed their flaws on Dragons Den when they first came to the public eye, by pulling the radiator off the mock up wall the inventor had fixed it to.
Bullfix Universal work really well. Great reviews on Amazon
Superb information and delivery!
Thanks. Glad you found it useful.
Great video again. Some subjects need longer videos and this is one example.
One thing I suffer with is the fixings opening distance. My internal walls have a cardboard lattice inner core (about 25mm squares) and less than 25mm distance between the 2 layers of plasterboard. Some of the best fixtures I just cannot fit due to the lattice. Your video is excellent as it shows all the information I need.
Many thanks!
Hi Charlie, loving all the different subjects you're covering so comprehensively. Thank you! Could I put in a request, which I think will be very popular and that is how to safely mount a TV above a central heating radiator. I want to do this, but want to make sure the screw plugs don't fail due to heat and how to protect the TV from heat damage.
It's basically a case of following the steps in my vid, to work out what's behind the wall and then what the best fixing to use is. You also want to double check there aren't any water pipes traveling up the wall to your upstairs if applicable. In terms of fixing, depending on the weight of the TV and whether the bracket is pivoting or not, one of those heavier duty fixings I showed with the anchor that opens up behind would be worth using.
These videos you do are mint. appreciate all the time and effort you put into these videos.
great source of information, thank you! I am starting to be less hopeless about my plasterboard wall, which I thought would be unusable.
You're welcome. Yes this should give you everything you need to know when it comes to fixing into plasterboard. 👊
Been mulling over the best way to hang a shelf for ornaments. Your video contains all the guidance and advice I need. Thanks very much Charlie 👍
Thank you so much for creating such an informative and well presented video. Super helpful to someone who has little DIY experience and who has, until now, had to reply on manufacturers blurb.
You're very welcome. Thanks for taking the time to comment - really helps to spur me on 👍
Thank you so much. What a great video. Very Comprehensive - Thank you. This is just what I needed.
Glad to hear it Tony. Thanks for the comment. 👊
So grateful for your advice and demos. Just installed a Herschel infra red towel rail/heater in my bathroom using hollow wall anchors as per your recommendation, test and demo. Perfect! Really appreciate your stuff! Thanks again!
Excellent work Peter. Perfect fixing for that. 👊
I appreciate your tutorials! Excellent! 90yo hubby needs a safety bar outside the bathtub, on the PLASTER wall. I think I found the stud. I cannot imagine him holding and pulling on the safety bar and it staying in the plaster wall. Suggestions, Please and thank you!❤ (Not in a position to hire a handyman.) I can do this!
Thanks Sandy The other thing you could do is buy one of these amzn.to/3MOM0I1 It will find any screws in the stud thereby showing you recall where to fix it. Good luck with the fixing the bar. 🤞
Good video test.
Light weight I use speed screw fixings or the core fixing and for kitchen units hollow wall fixings.
Duo power 65mm now going to be added on the van.
Always learning
Thanks Karl. Anyone who's always learning is damn good at their job IMO 👊
Extremely valuable comparison !
Thanks 👊
This has helping me no end as i make my first steps into DIY
Really glad to hear it Matt. Thanks for letting me know.
@@CharlieDIYte my pleasure 🙏
