snaptoggle 

Thanks for the comment ;-)

Yes, these are great in many applications. Thanks for the comment

You are welcome, I'm glad the videos help Thanks for the comment ;-)

These are my favourite plasterboard fixing 👍

Glad it was helpful!

That is correct. Thanks for the comment 👍

You are welcome!

steven quinn I just bought some myself for a similar price on ebay for some upcoming projects ;-) Thanks for the comment ;-)

Some plasterboard anchors are not very good I'm afraid. Snaptoggles are one of the best and will enable most items to be hung successfully on plasterboard. If you can find a stud or noggin, better still. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H5U0sLKyJJw.html

That's the problem. I couldn't find a stud or noggin, looks like that board was blobbed onto the outer wall, so I drilled into the outer wall and tried to use proper wall anchors and not hollow wall anchors.

***** I recommend these for plasterboard with solid wall behind- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xaYfs3lr1jI.html They fix really well ;-)

On sale at ace hardware this month if your still price checking. Be careful 6ft distance ol timer.

Depends on which wall is behind there, there's one for everything

Yes, they should be fine for that unless the projector is particularly large.

+kelvin ocasio There are a few variables and there is no definitive answer without seeing it, because some TV brackets extend from the wall- increasing the load on the fixings. But if it's flush to the wall or only extends a few inches then 4 snap toggles should easily hold it. It's best if you can space them out as far as possible though, by using the 4 corners of the fixing bracket as you do not want all 4 fixings grouped together.

Thanks for the comment

M6 will be slightly stronger than M5 as the bolt is 1mm larger in diameter. This might help- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-glzwY76O0d8.html Thanks for the comment

Can't recommend these enough. I fixed my TV to the wall with these.

+Ryan Hosiassohn Yes, they are very good. Thanks for the comment

They should do, here is the weight test- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ECDysfNhx_E.html

+Brian Galdis It depends on the weight of the cabinet. As you point out the plasterboard will be weakened where the snap toggles are. The snap toggles can hold a lot of weight though, so providing the cabinet is not too heavy it should be fine.Thanks for the comment

Steven Fergus Yes, these should work. They are much better then spring toggles.

Yes, these are probably the best option, as long as you use a few of them to hold the bracket. I'd try to get at least 4 of them in the wall.

Fixing to a plasterboard ceiling is difficult, if you can't fix to the joists because the pull out force is much different than if the fixing was used in the wall. The item you have linked to looks like it is designed to be screwed to the joists, can you not get access to the loft above the bedroom ceiling and perhaps fix a piece of timber to spread the load over a larger area?

Ultimate Handyman That is a good idea - thanks for the advice

+Sk Foster They should work, or perhaps spring toggles.You can see a weight test here- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ECDysfNhx_E.html

+Ultimate Handyman After looking at the weight testing vid, I think 10kgs won't be a problem for these. Thanks for your help

+Sk Foster You are welcome ;-)

Oh that made me laugh, I bet you made their day!

Lol

Just be like “oh, you boys call ‘em snap toggles ‘round here? Alrighty then, snap toggles it is then boys.” Then quickly change the subject - “say, what’s a fella gotta do to find a half decent brisket ‘round these parts?”

Ya want nuts on dem bolts ?

It should be fine as the outlet should be insulated so the toggle should not be able to get in to the outlet to cause any damage.

+Samantha Fuge It's always best if you can get a couple of screws into one of the studs that are in the wall, this shows how to find a stud- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H5U0sLKyJJw.html If you can't find a stud (which is unlikely with such a large TV) the snap toggles are probably the best fixing on the market for heavy items, so they should do it easily providing you get the heavy duty ones. A combination of studs/ a stud and snap toggles will give you the best fixing possible on plasterboard.

Ah thank you, iv just ordered them exact snap toggles you used in the video. I just hope it works.

I think they will be stronger if they are installed so that the toggle is vertical rather than horizontal Thanks for the comment

Thanks for the comment ;-)

Thanks for the comment

Yes, but it's best to use a few of them spaced out as much as possible to spread the load.

Yes, I'll space them as far apart as possible. Thanks for the reply

You are welcome. Good luck with it ;-)

Yes as long as the bolts are long enough (you might have to get some longer bolts)

Yes, the screws normally come with the Snaptoggles unless you buy them in bulk boxes in which case you can buy just the toggle part, which would be for example M6 size- you can then use an length of M6 machine screw with that toggle. Thanks for the comment

Thanks for the comment 👍

These are probably my favourite plasterboard fixing, also known as Zip fix fixings- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4r_MsgkXsBA.html

You are welcome Thanks for the comment

This might help- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-glzwY76O0d8.html

It depends on a few variables such as the thickness of the plasterboard, but this should give you some idea- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ECDysfNhx_E.html

Ah many thanks. They did use them to wall mount a TV, it was up for about a month before it just fell down. Possibly over tightened. I've got some Ikea floating shelves I need to put up into plasterboard but have been putting it off. I believe the studs are metal which I found out while trying to put one of those drywall screw plug fixings into the wall for a notice board. The issue is that the studs are further apart than the holes in the bracket. Would you say to make new holes in the bracket, or should it be ok to use some sort of dry wall fixings like in this video?

It depends what weight you intend to put on the shelf after installation. For light items you could use spring toggles, but for heavy items it is best to find the studs and fix into those to be on the safe side, even if that means drilling some more holes in the bracket. Thanks for the comment

It's better if you can fix to a stud, especially for a TV ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H5U0sLKyJJw.html

What if my wall has no studs? My tv is 12kg btw...

If it has no studs, then how is the wall constructed? If you can't find the studs then snap toggles are one of the best plasterboard fixings available.

Oh shit yeah my bad my bad XD. Ill find the studs now. Tnx

You are welcome ;-)

+benecoyote No, they are not designed for a load like that. You need to find the joists really or lift floorboards above and put a piece of timber in to take the weight.

***** I get it. I'm from Brazil, and here some roofs are made with this brick >>> www.tijolobaiano.com/39-126-thickbox/tijolo-baiano-.jpg

+benecoyote Oh, ok. They should be ok if your ceiling is made from those blocks providing you can get the toggler into the gaps (you might hit a solid part). Most ceilings over here are plasterboard and cannot take much weight when being pulled in this direction.

***** Thank you!!!!!!

+Herbert .Gatchalian Yes, these will work with any sheet materials.

Meester Chris I have been using regular toggle bolts for years. Instead of that one piece that pivots, there are two wings that fold into each other. After you drill the hole in the wall, do you pinch these two wings together and push it through the hole with the help of the bolts. After you push it in, you can feel the two wings flip open and then you tighten up the bolts. One word of caution, before you push the wings through the wall, make sure you have whatever you’re going to fastened to the wall already onto the screw and through the wings. Then simply push it through the wall till they open, pull it back with slight pressure and tighten up the screws. You’re done. For your information they sell them in three different weights. Lightweight, medium weight, and heavy weight. It all depends what you’re hanging and how heavy they are. Look at the weight rating on the package.

You can use machine screws or bolts, providing you get the correct thread. I think the USA ones are 1/4 inch unc. Not sure about the ones in the UK, I think they are available from M5 to M8

@@ultimatehandyman Thanks for the prompt reply. I spoke too soon. When I fully unpacked the toggles I found bolts included. There is a lesson to be learned here.

Ah Right, I thought perhaps the provided screws were not long enough etc. Snap toggles are one of the best fixings for plasterboard (drywall) in my honest opinion.

Yes, these should be fine for that. Thanks for the comment
