Question
Alternative to Supplied Anchors
Is there something different that can be used after installing the supplied anchors to make the installation more solid? Three of the five I installed would not tighten. Only way to get them out damages the wall. I used that black pin after putting them in but there is no explanation what it does or how to use it so I gave it two light taps with a hammer each time. Wish I had ignored the instructions and used something different for drywall anchors because I can definitely believe these will pull loose under any kind of load.

Answer this Question
answer 1
The black pin still makes no sense since squeezing the sides to get it through the hole make it open further than that black pin ever could. My drywall is 1/2" and I used a 3/8" drill bit. Read the instructions several times. Two of my anchors held and the screw tightened, the other three just spin. My fault for following directions. When the first one did not hold properly I should have switched to something else.

answer 2
We currently offer only one type of anchor for installation, which are designed for 1/2" drywall. The pre-drilled hole for the anchor should be 3/8" and the black push pin is used to open the wall anchor once it has been installed into the drywall.
