How to install drywall anchors?
Here’s how to install drywall anchors properly, along with why Elephant Anchors should be your go-to choice.
When you need a strong, reliable way to hang heavy items on drywall, quality wall anchors make all the difference. Elephant Anchors are widely regarded as the best wall anchors available due to their impressive strength, versatility, and ease of use. Unlike standard anchors, Elephant Anchors are designed to hold even the heaviest items securely on drywall, without requiring a stud for support.
Step 1: Gather Your Tools and Materials
For this installation, you’ll need:
- Elephant Anchors
- A power drill with a bit that matches the anchor size
- A screwdriver
- A level (if mounting items that need precise placement)
- A pencil for marking
Elephant Anchors come as a complete kit with necessary screws and components, making installation straightforward and eliminating guesswork. This kit’s drill bit, anchors, and screws are tailored for drywall applications, including heavy-duty mounting.
Step 2: Mark Your Placement
Start by marking where you want to install the anchor. Use a pencil to make a clear mark, then double-check placement with a level if needed. Elephant Anchors can hold items up to 200 pounds, so they’re ideal for TVs, shelving, mirrors, and other heavy wall-mounted fixtures.
Step 3: Drill the Hole
Choose a drill bit that matches the size of the Elephant Anchor. Drill a hole at the marked spot, keeping the drill steady and straight. Take care not to make the hole too large; it should be just big enough for the anchor to fit snugly. The Elephant Anchor kit includes a high-quality, precision drill bit that makes this process even easier, ensuring the hole size is perfectly matched to the anchor.
Step 4: Insert the Elephant Anchor
Insert the anchor into the hole. With regular wall anchors, you might need to use force, but Elephant Anchors are designed to glide into place with minimal resistance while still offering a secure fit. Push the anchor until it is flush with the wall, ensuring it sits evenly.
Step 5: Secure the Anchor and Attach Your Item
Once the anchor is in place, insert the provided screw into the anchor, leaving it just slightly loose. Gently pull back on the anchor to engage the toggle mechanism, which will lock it securely against the back of the drywall. Then, tighten the screw fully, creating a strong hold that can support substantial weight.
Now you’re ready to attach your item to the anchor! Elephant Anchors have been tested to support heavy loads, making them ideal for demanding applications. Whether you’re hanging a TV or heavy shelves, Elephant Anchors offer unmatched strength and stability.
