Product Overview:
These M5 cavity wall anchors excel at securing heavy items to plasterboard walls. The all-metal design creates permanent, reliable attachments that won't budge, even after removing and reinserting screws.

The zinc coating serves as both barrier and sacrificial protection. The coating continues to safeguard the underlying metal through sacrificial action if damage occurs, preventing the deterioration seen in unprotected fixings. This protection method keeps the fixing secure throughout its service life in your walls.
Installation Benefits:
These cavity anchors surpass standard wall plugs by creating a permanent solution. The mechanical centre collapses outwards during installation and pulls against the plasterboard's reverse side. Your fixings maintain their strength even when you remove and reinsert the screw, making them ideal for items needing occasional maintenance.
FAQs:
- What makes these cavity anchors different from standard wall plugs?
The mechanical grip behind the plasterboard remains permanent, unlike standard plugs that can work loose over time. The all-metal construction and collapsing centre mechanism ensure lasting stability. - What's the maximum weight these anchors can support?
The weight capacity depends on wall condition and installation quality. These M5 cavity anchors suit heavy-duty applications like radiators and wall units. Always follow manufacturer weight guidelines for your specific application. - Why is zinc plating important?
The zinc coating provides dual protection: a physical barrier against corrosion and a sacrificial layer, protecting the steel even if the surface gets scratched. This extends the fixing's lifespan significantly. - Can I remove and reuse these fixings?
The screw can be removed and reinserted multiple times without losing holding power. The anchor itself stays permanently in the wall. - What tools do I need for installation?
You need a 10mm drill bit, a drill, and either a screwdriver or cavity anchor setting gun. A setting gun speeds up installation. - How do I know if these anchors are suitable for my wall?
The anchors work with plasterboard cavity walls. Your wall thickness must fall within the 26mm maximum fixed thickness and have a cavity behind it for effective use.
