How to Use Cavity Toggle Bolts for Heavy Wall Mounting when You can't find an Anchor
How to Use Cavity Toggle Bolts: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Drill a Hole: Use a power drill to make a hole in the drywall. Ensure the hole is the right size to fit your toggle bolt snugly.
- Insert the Bolt: Fold the metal 'wings' of the toggle and insert them into the hole you’ve drilled.
- Secure the Anchor: Once inserted, the wings will unfold on the other side of the drywall, creating a robust anchor. Tighten the bolt to ensure it is securely fastened.
Expert Tip: Always double-check the weight capacity of your cavity toggle bolts. This ensures that they can adequately support the weight of the object you’re hanging.
Common Mistake to Avoid: Do not overtighten the bolt; doing so can compromise the strength of the drywall and the bolt itself.
