Installing an Expansion Wall Anchor

Drill a hole in the wall material large and deep enough to allow the barrel of the anchor to fit easily.

Clear debris from the hole and tap the anchor in place digging the collar teeth into the wall material to hold it in place.

Turn the bolt in the anchor until it expands tightly against the inside of the wall. Push hard against the bolt to keep the teeth from slipping. After installation these anchors will stay in place when the bolt is removed to hang brackets or hangers.

Installing a Toggle Wall Anchor

Disassemble toggle anchors and install any wall brackets before inserting the anchor in the wall. Thread the toggle back onto the bolt a turn or two.

Drill a hole in hollow walls large enough to pass the toggle.

Pull the toggle arm together and push the anchor into the wall.

Push with the bolt head until the toggles expand behind the wall. Pull the bolt back to be sure the toggles engage the wall.

Pull on the bolt while turning to keep the toggle engaged or it will spin and not tighten on the threads.

As the anchor tightens it will hold the toggles in place.
