• Drill
• Drill bit (suitable for plasterboard)
• Screwdriver
• Spirit level (optional)
• Pencil
• Measuring tape

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Plan and Mark the Location

• Decide where you want to place your fixture on the plasterboard wall.
• Use a pencil to mark the desired location for the fixings.
• For multiple fixings, use a spirit level to ensure alignment.

Step 2: Drill the Pilot Holes

• Attach a suitable drill bit to your drill.
• Drill a pilot hole at each marked location on the plasterboard.
• Ensure the hole is slightly smaller than the diameter of the brolly anchor.

Step 3: Insert the Brolly Anchors

• Take a brolly anchor from the pack.
• Carefully insert the anchor into the drilled hole.
• Push it in until the flange is flush with the wall.

Step 4: Secure the Fixings

• Use a screwdriver to tighten the screw into the brolly anchor.
• As you tighten, the anchor will expand and secure itself behind the plasterboard.

Step 5: Attach Your Fixture

• Align your fixture with the secured anchors.
• Use additional screws if necessary to attach the fixture firmly to the wall.

Safety Tips

• Ensure you are not drilling into electrical wires or plumbing.
• Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes while drilling.
• Double-check the load capacity of the brolly anchors if attaching heavy items.

Troubleshooting

• If the anchor does not hold, ensure the hole is not too large.
• Check if the plasterboard is too weak; consider using a different wall section.
