Plasterboard Cavity Wall Fixings Hollow Wall Anchors Heavy Duty (Pack of 4 Fixings)

Purchased these ones on multiple occasions, Very strong and sturdy if you need to mount something heavy and you can't drill into studs I would highly recommend these fixings.(Advice on installation)I used these a while back without any problems until recently I forgot that you have to thread the red plastic wire in the middle and one of the the side holes doesn't matter left or right hole and not the two side holes excluding the middle hole.It's very important otherwise if you thread through the two side holes and try to screw in you main large screw in the middle first you will have trouble, one - screwing it in but if you manage that, two - the red plastic wire could snap if you pull to hard you don't want that you will lose the large plastic piece down the back of the wall which is what happened this time wasting a fixing, three - the small screws for the two side holes won't line up and you will be screwing for eternity and nothing happens.(Steps)1, Drill your hole2, Cut the red plastic thread to size be generous (20cm to 25cm) more length more grip you can reuse it for multiple fixings as long as you don't snag it or damage it check after use for damage before using on second fixing and don't pull to hard it will snap.3, Thread the plastic wire through the centre hole and one of the side holes on the big plastic piece making sure the flatter side is facing you.4, Push the large plastic through the hole in the wall holding the plastic wire make sure the flatter side will be against the back of the wall or facing towards you.5, While holding both strands of the plastic wire with one hand firmly, start threading the plastic wire through the other plastic round cap remember through the same holes.6, Holding the plastic wire push the cap into the wall.7, Screw in the small screw in the vacant hole until firm not to much but not to slack.8, Now pull the plastic wire out you don't need it at this point anymore, screw in the other small screw in the other side, (tightened both sides fully)9, Now finally you can screw in your large main screw.Hope this information is useful and saves some of you some time, your welcome! 😅

Wow these fixings are brilliant so easy to install by far the best & strongest plasterboard fixings I’ve used .You do need a fairly big gap to get the fixings behind the plasterboard.I used larger screws than supplied as I was hanging a bracket & TV as I thought the screws supplied weren’t big enough but that’s just me always OTT😀

Purchased these to fix into a honeycombed plasterboard wall. The honeycomb gave its own challenges but the 25mm hole does allow just enough room to break away the honeycomb cells to allow the length of the fixing to fit. However once in to cavity and having “pull tightly on the cord” as directed the centre screw goes straight through the cord splitting it into 2 before the fixing was totally secured.Live and learn from the 1st attempt and with patience you can get it secure and the final result does seem to be very sturdy

Amazing fixings, and really ease to use. For those that struggle, just read the instructions ! and if that confuses watch the youtube video online 5* all the way. Had to hang a 30kg radiator off a plasterboard wall, other fixings failed, this is perfect!

This is by far the best anchors to use to hang heavy thing on plasterboard after all other options failed.

Excellent product and simple to use

Okay. Here we go. Look, I get it, these are no doubt the strongest plasterboard fixings I've ever used and (when done properly) will match a wooden noggin behind the wall anyday I can say that with confidence. Geefix truly have an amazing product here.The reason for the 3 star and not what would of been 5 star review is that the screws which geefix supply to first hold the fixing in the wall are way too thick gauge which causes the screw (no matter how hard I pulled on the cord) to get stuck in the fixing and cause it to infinitely spin and wrap the cord around the screw. I lost 2 fixings in the wall because of this and it only worked when I got one of my own thinner gauge screws which fastened like a dream first time.Take note, use a thinner gauge screw for the first central fixing not the ones geefix provide and I promise you these fixings will not let you down.Used to hang a 43inch tv on single skin plasterboard wall and can safely say the wall would collapse before these fixings give way.

I’ve used a variety of anchors through the years, my favourite being the Fischer duopower, which are my go to for masonry and even plasterboard for some jobs.However, this time I was looking to mount a 30kg mirror on a stud wall and I needed to be more confident it was going to be secure, while duopower ‘could’ manage it, I wanted something definitive.I’d seen the geefix recommended on YouTube a while back, and had previously heard of gripit but the results across the web for the latter were disappointing, I’d have more confidence in the Fischer if there was nothing else.The geefix however are fantastic. Just be sure to read the instructions. Many of the errors in the lower star reviews (from my experience) look to be user error. Drill the 25mm hole with a hole cutter, feed the wire through the geefix, pull tight and slowly screw using the central screw. If it spins, it’s not being held tight enough. Once the screw has bitten, remove the wire and use the two smaller screws to bring together tightly. You can then use either the supplied screw again to mount or my preference was to use a slightly bigger reisser screw.The mirror is now nice and secure so the next pack I purchased are to mount a TV in the spare room.I would throughly recommend these, take your time, follow the instructions and you’ll have a very very solid fixing.
