A Screw Anchor is an easy-to-use anchor that secures items in place. It has coarse threads that can be driven in using a screwdriver. Once the screw is driven in, the anchor is easy to remove, leaving little damage behind. Some anchors have a solid shank, which expands when the screw is driven into it, while others have a scored shank that separates at the tip for greater holding power.

Other types of screw anchors require the user to drill a hole in the surface to be secured. After drilling the hole, the user inserts the Screw Anchor through the hole and then threads the screw into it. Screw anchors come in a variety of sizes, which are usually based on the type of substrate and the weight of the object being secured.

Plastic Screw Anchors are another type of anchor that is widely used. They feature notched wings and two expansion points to prevent screw rotation and are available in sizes ranging from #4-6 to #14-16. You can also find triplegrip Anchors, which have wings that flip out behind the drywall, which provides superior holding power. To install a Screw Anchor, first determine the size of the hole you are going to drill. Next, insert the Screw Anchor into the hole and turn it clockwise until firm resistance is felt.

When installing a Screw Anchor, it is best to drill a hole in the wall in which the Anchor is installed. The diameter of the hole must match the size of the Anchor, otherwise it may collapse. The correct Wall Anchor should also be selected based on the material of the wall and the weight of the object being hung.

The Screw Anchor is most commonly used for hanging items on the wall. Other names for Screw Anchors include wall anchors and wall plugs. These anchors provide a firmer grip on the threads when screwing in. Without them, you can hang items on the wall, but be sure to use a screw anchor to avoid any possible dangers.

Toggle bolts are another option for securing objects. These bolts are long enough to pass through the wall material. When installed properly, these toggle bolts have a positive feel that secures the cabinet tightly. The Everbilt toggle bolts, for instance, are rated for 95 pounds of force in drywall or 90lbs. in hollow block and drywall.

Self-drilling anchors are very useful for hanging decorative shelves. Their threaded heads are perfect for small decorative shelves. Some of these anchors are also capable of holding up to 50 pounds. Installing self-drilling anchors requires careful planning and a careful hand. The head of the anchor should be flush with the wall. Lastly, the provided screws should be inserted into the anchor's center.

Another useful option for anchoring drywall is the Molly Bolt. Molly Bolts are also lightweight but can hold up to 50 pounds.
