This video will show you how to secure a loose toilet paper holder, towel rack, or hand towel holder with the use of toggle bolts. We also review different types of drywall anchors including: expansion anchors, threaded anchors, and snap toggles which will give you a better idea of the many options available when securing a bracket to drywall. This is a super common problem and even heavy wet towels over time can be enough weight to loosen up bathroom hardware. I will start off with a little overview and then jump in with an example of fixing a very loose toilet paper holder.
List of Tools Used:
1. Phillips screwdriver
2. Flat head screwdriver
3. Standard pliers
4. Cordless drill / screwdriver
Parts Needed:
1. Toggle Bolts (50 pack) 1/8” x 2" - amzn.to/2FemzMP
2. Toggle Bolts (Assortment Pack) - amzn.to/31zVUUj

If you want a loooooooonnnnnggggg explanation on two styles of wall anchors that creates this problem to begin with, watch from the beginning. If you already know your anchors suck and want to fix it, skip to 4:46 (as others have suggested). That said, I'm glad I found someone that addresses this specific issue. Just saved me a huge headache.

Thank you! This is the BEST description of the very exact same issue I've had with the towel rack in our master bathroom. I was getting frustrated with the different wall anchors because, oddly, there are no studs in the section of wall that the screws that go through drywall can tap into. This is very helpful! Thanks for posting!
@EverydayHomeRepairs
@EverydayHomeRepairs 5 лет назад
Glad the video helped out. Yeah, my first preference is to secure the bracket into a stud but if the stud isn't available the toggle bolt will do the trick.

YES!!! This is literally the ONLY way to fix this, I arrived at the exact same conclusion. Also, you don't even realize it but you helped me in the terminology for what to call those little tiny screws that go into the bottom of the TP holder. You mentioned they're called "set screws" and now with a quick google I've found a way to buy a replacement set screw for the one I have that broke.

Great video--thank you for the thorough guidance! Just a follow-up question: how do you remove the toggle bolts?
@EverydayHomeRepairs
@EverydayHomeRepairs 6 лет назад
Hey Emily thanks for the kind words. When you need to remove the toggle bolts you just unscrew the bolt and at the same time apply a light pull to the bolt ensuring the wing nut is being pulled against the backside of the drywall (this ensures the wing nut isn't just spinning inside the wall). When the bolt is all the way unscrewed the wing nut will fall off and as such each toggle bolt is a 1-time use piece of hardware. This is also why I always have a couple spare wing nuts in various sizes handy. Hope this helps and let me know if you have additional follow up questions. Take care!

Danny, good question and yes they are easy to remove but the the actual "toggle" portion will come unscrewed and fall into the wall cavity. So, to reattach/reuse the bolt you will need extra toggles as they are a 1 time use. Does that make sense?

Hey Tina, I assume you still have drywall so it will work but for instance 1/2 inch (thin) drywall will not hold as much as 5/8 inch (thick) drywall. Best of luck with the repair.

What the What!?!? 😁 Might be worth a try but since i usually have an assortment of toggle bolts around that is my preferred method. Thanks for the alternative idea.

My towel bar it doesn't have the screw, it has a hole and I can see a small plastic tab inside, what do I do to open it and tighten the towel bar?

Hmmmm, is the "plastic tab" attached to the wall? Sounds like that is the drywall anchor which was originally installed. Wish we could add pictures to these comments as it would help a ton in understanding your specific type of towel bar.
