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. Make sure the bolt and barrel are tight and use a hammer to drive the anchor into the hole, 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 head with a screwdriver to keep the teeth engage as you turn it. |

After installation these anchors will stay in place when the bolt is removed to install brackets or hangers. |
