These classic toggle anchors are best for securing handrails, cabinets, and shelving in drywall. All have a spring-loaded toggle that firmly grips behind your wall. Since the gripping force is spread over the length of the toggle, they create a stronger hold than plug anchors. However, they require a larger hole to push the toggle through, which may need patching if not covered by your component.

To install, insert the bolt through your component and thread on the toggle. Then, fold the toggle wings flush against the bolt and push them through a drilled hole until they pop open on the other side. Next, pull back on the bolt and tighten it for a secure hold. The bolt is reusable, but the toggle will fall behind the wall when the bolt is removed.

A cross between a toggle bolt and drilling anchor, these anchors create a secure hold without having to drill a hole first. They’re twice as strong as drilling anchors but only about one-third as strong as toggle bolt anchors. All have a bolt that you can repeatedly remove without affecting the anchor, so they’re good for installing signs and other components you’d like to swap out. However, the anchor itself cannot be removed.

To install, screw the anchor into your drywall until it's flush with the surface. Then, insert the bolt through your component and tighten to flip the toggle open and draw it firmly in place behind your wall.

Good for installing signs and other objects you’d like to swap out, these anchors have a bolt that you can repeatedly remove without affecting the anchor. The sleeve expands behind the wall, creating a mushroom-shape grip for a secure hold. Teeth on the flange bite the drywall surface, so the anchor won’t twist when you remove and reinstall the screw. While the bolt can be removed, the anchor itself cannot.

To install, tap the anchor into a drilled hole until it's flush with your drywall. Then, thread a machine screw through your object and tighten to expand the anchor. For repetitive installations, use the optional installation tool. It inserts the screw and expands the anchor with a single squeeze of the handle, speeding up the setup time.

The toggle locks in place behind your wall to prevent pullout, while fins stop twisting during installation. Unlike traditional toggle bolt anchors, these require a smaller hole and have a flange that covers the hole once installed. Since the gripping force is spread over the length of the toggle, these anchors create a stronger hold than our plug anchors.

To install, fold the anchor in the middle so the toggle wings touch each other. Insert the anchor into a drilled hole and tap it until it's flush with your drywall. Then, use the included tool to pop the anchor open. Next, thread a tapping screw through your component and tighten for a secure hold. You can repeatedly remove your screw without losing strength or the toggle behind the wall. However, the anchor itself cannot be removed.
