Anchors for Drywall, Plaster, and Wood Paneling

Also known as wall plugs, these anchors expand when installed to reinforce the hole and resist stripping. They have a ridged body with fins that prevent spinning during installation. Install flush with the surface. Then, thread a screw through your fixture and into the anchor. To determine screw length, add the anchor length to the fixture thickness and choose a screw equal to or longer than this.
