Step1: Drilling the pilot hole

Pick out a desirable spot to hang your item.

Mark your intended hanging site with a pencil. Draw a small dot or ‘X’ at the exact spot where you want to place the anchor.

Step2: Fit an electric drill with an appropriately-sized bit.

Always use a drill bit that's as close in diameter to the type of anchor you're installing as possible.

Step3: Drill straight into the drywall at a precise 90 degree angle.

Hold the drill bit perpendicularly against the wall and keep a steady hand to ensure that the hole is as straight as possible.

Step4: Fit plastic expansion anchors into the pilot hole by hand.

After drilling in the desired spot, simply slip the plastic shaft inside the hole and press firmly on it until it’s seated. When you insert the included mounting screw, the tip of the anchor will flare out, keeping it from coming out of the drywall.

Step5: Use an electric drill or screwdriver to secure self-drilling anchors.

Place the tip of the anchor into the pilot hole, then twist it clockwise to sink it deep into the drywall. As their name suggests, self-drilling anchors can also be screwed in with a handheld screwdriver if you don’t happen to have an electric drill handy.
