abrasive cleaners.

A guide to
…wall mountings and fixings
Make sure that the screws and wall plugs being used are suitable for supporting your unit.
Consult a qualifed tradesperson if you are unsure.
1. General purpose wall plug
3. Cavity Fixing wall plug 4. Cavity Fixing-Heavy Duty wall plug
6. Shield Anchor wall plug - Heavy loads
2. Plasterboard wall plug
5.Hammer Fixing wall plug
Generally aerated blocks
should not be used to
support heavy loads,
use a specialist fitting in
this case. For light loads,
general purpose wall
plugs can be used.
For use with
plasterboard
partitions
or hollow wooden
doors.
For use when
fitting or supporting
heavy loads such
as shelving, wall
cabinets and coat
racks.
For use with
heavier loads
such as TV & HiFi
speakers and
satelite dishes etc.
For use with
plasterboard
partitions
or hollow
wooden doors.
For use with walls stuck
with plasterboard. The
hammer fixing allows
it to be fixed to the
wall rather than the
plasterboard. Always
check the fixing is secure
to the retaining wall.
Types of walls:
Important:
When drilling into walls always check that there are no hidden wires or pipes etc.
Hints:
1: General rule: Always use a larger screw and wall plug if you are not sure.
2: Ensure you use the recommended drill bit to match the wall plug and hole size.
3: Ensure you drill the hole horizontally, do not force the drill or enlarge the hole.
4: Take extra care when drilling high walls, ceilings and ceramic tiles. Ensure wall plugs are inserted
beyond the thickness of the ceramic tiles to avoid the tiles splitting or cracking.
5: Ensure wall plugs are well fitted and are a tight fit in the drilled hole.If plastic wall plugs are supplied
with your product:These are only suitable for use in masonry walls. If you are in any doubt about the
correct wall plugs for your wall,seek professional advice. Failure of the product due to using incorrect
fixings is the responsibility of the installer.

Trouble shooting
Bolts are missing.
All of our fittings come in sealed packs, so all bolts etc. should be
included. Some of our furniture has more than one fitting pack included in the
box, so please make sure the box is thoroughly checked.
Top Tip:
Before assembling your furniture put all of your fittings into a tupperware box
and sort them into the correct sizes and types.
This makes assembly quicker and easier and helps to avoid losing parts.
You can also store these instructions, the tools supplied and any sparees in
the box for future use.
Parts do not line up or holes are in the wrong place.
Make sure you have fitted parts the correct way round. Where possible we
have labelled parts to make this obvious, but in some cases it is still possible to
fit parts incorrectly and therefore the product will not go together.
Bolts won’t fit?
All our flat pack furniture is designed and manufactured with specific
tolerances. Sometimes this requires that parts are fitted in a specific sequence,
so always follow the assembly instructions. Do not tighten any fixings until all
are in place. Tightening bolts prior to assembling all parts can make it too tight
to fit other parts. Loosen all fittings and try to fit bolts again.
