Heavy Duty Plasterboard Fixings Cavity Wall Anchors for TV wall mounts, radiators and Other Heavy Items (Pack of 8 Fixings)

I've known about these for a while, but was put off by the high price, until I came across a job for which none of my other fixings were suitable. Now I've used them, I'd say that due to ease of use, higher reliability and versatility, they're probably worth the price. Although I still think it a bit high for a few pieces of plastic and some screws. I get about development and set-up costs, but still.. They should at least sell a larger pack at lower cost per fixing..Compared to other options, the weight is spread out over a larger area, plus, the fixing is held by 2 screws and what you're putting up by a third screw.They are really easy to use and can be used for jobs where most other options are unsuitable, so where there's no room for wings to open, where the plasterboard is too thick (or thin) for other fixings or where you simply need more strength and reliability. They also work for things like hollow doors, plywood walls etc.. And with these, you can set multiple screws into same fixing, if necessary, if you need 2 screws very close together, for example. Also, as the fixing is not held by the same screw as the item you're putting up, you can use alternative screws to those provided, or bolts or hooks, without compromising the holding power of the fixing.Overall, installation was really easy, and detailed, clear instructions with pictures are on back of packet. However, the middle screw is longer than the 2 screws used to hold the fixture, and that's where I encountered a snag.. I wasted one expensive fitting until I realised that the 2 shorter screws provided were not long enough for my plasterboard. I thought first that I hadn't lined up the holes correctly, although realised afterwards that's pretty impossible.. The screws were not going in as too short and not reaching the fixing behind. Luckily, I had some of correct length and size. Another snag is that while in theory they're re-usable, it's going to be difficult (impossible??) to recover the long piece that sits behind the plasterboard for future use - once you take out the screw, it falls down, of course.. And that you have to drill a 25 mm hole to use them, thereby reducing integrity of the plasterboard. Sometimes, due to the size, the fixing will be visible behind your shelf or whatever. But they're white, and can be painted over, so not very noticeable.Overall, despite those slight drawbacks, am really impressed. I trust these more than any other options on the market for holding up heavy items and they're handy where other fittings don't work. Due to the high price, I will probably reserve these for those jobs.. If you want more info before buying, I suggest you check out youtube reviews, there's at least one good one. Definitely recommend these if you want a sure-fire but easy option and don't mind the price.

Plasterboard no longer a nightmare! So, I made a bit of a mess after decorating a plasterboard wall. I needed to get the tv back up but somehow made the holes bigger (don’t ask!) Saw these and thought if this didn’t work I would have to admit defeat and call someone. Looked at a few videos on YouTube and gave it a go. Worked like a dream! I could hang of the wall now (I won’t but I like the idea that I could) This is now my go to product. So way and quick to use. Highly recommended

These are the answer if you are hanging a big TV on a cantilever fixing, or a heavy bathroom cabinet from Ikea, which I used them for.I initially used those ubiquitous, metal self-drill plasterboard fixings, the ones that you just screw into the wall. All was well, until my son opened a door on the bathroom cabinet, and the cabinet came with it. I rushed up and managed to put the cabinet carefully on the floor - as usual, the metal plasterboard fixings hade failed. They are fine for light items like picture frames, small shelves, etc. But hanging anything heavy is like playing Russian Roulette.The Geefix fitting works very, very well. The load is spread over the large anchor piece behind the plasterboard, which is very strong and spreads the load. It also has some tiny hooks, so when you screw the external, round fixing, it pulls the anchor piece into the plasterboard, and the tiny hooks grip and ensure it has a solid base. As you tighten the screw, the anchor embeds itself into the plasterboard, giving a very, very solid fixing, certainly the strongest I've used.The only negative is that it's a bit fussy to use. You must thread the blue string through the two pieces - this is then pulled toward you, ensuring that achor beds into the plasterboard. If you're not careful, you could lose the anchor behind the wall. I did, but that was entirely my fault, as I didn't follow the instructions properly.So, if you have a 55 inch TV to hang, or a large floating shelf, or heavy kitchen units, I'd recommend these. They are too expensive to be used for lighter objects like picture frames, buy if you are worried about something coming off the wall, used these.

Great product.I used it to hold a false wall against plasterboard. It’s as solid as a rock. Take your time and you will be fine. You only get 4 red pulls for 8 fixings. I cut mine in half but I only used 2 for 5 fixings. Sonia guess the four would have been enough.

These GeeFix cavity wall fixing anchors really do a good job. easy to install, versatile can be used on most walls to anchor what ever needs fixing to the wall. They are durable and are now my go to for fixing anything that is heavy to the wall.

Excellent product! Great quality. I’d shopped around surfing the internet and visiting the hardware store to find something appropriate and which I could trust to support the weight of a tv on a cavity wall. The product was great. I’d read reviews and was pleased that it actually was as good as they said. Installation was easy I probably could have gone a slightly smaller size when drilling the hole to fit it in as I am not so familiar with drilling cavity walls. But they were great good contact and grip of the product to the plaster board when screwing. It was a large tv but it has now been up a couple of months with no issues whatsoever. So I am very pleased.

I haven't left a review for a while but thought this was so good, it definitely deserved a couple minutes to share my very positive experiences.I needed something to fit a substantial shelving system to a plasterboard wall. I wasn't confident of finding any fixings that would make this possible but I did loads of research, finally coming across this video on YouTube (https://youtu.be/aeFyQS2NGVM) that reviewed this product. I liked what I saw so bought a couple of packs. Suffice it to say that I was able to get the shelves up MUCH more quickly than I was anticipating and they are absolutely rock solid. No hint of movement. I've got an old (and very precious to me!) amplifier weighing 35kg sitting quite happily on one shelf right now, so I have absolute trust in the strength of the fittings.My two tops that will hopefully help some folks:1. Having read in a couple of reviews that some folk found 25mm holes were too big, I bought a 24mm flat wood drill bit (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0108A6MS0). Whilst I think 25mm is strictly speaking the correct size, due to the fragile nature of plasterboard, it's VERY easy to make the hole a tiny bit bigger than planned. Suffice it to say that across my 10 24mm holes, probably half ended up absolutely the perfect size and I could finger fit the circular 'plug' and the other half needed a light tap from a hammer for a super-tight fit (a good thing).2. There are lots of reviews on here criticising the product for spinning behind the wall when you try to tighten the initial centre screw. I can see how this could happen if you don't pull hard enough initially (so that the anti-spin spikes on the bracket don't grip the wall) but more importantly the likelihood and consequences of this happening are MUCH higher if you use an electric drill/screwdriver that's tightening the screw too quickly. By the time you've realised that it's not gripped, it's too late and you've probably lost the bracket. The solution? Use a good old fashioned non-electric screwdriver for the all-important central screw - that way you can tell immediately from the feel if it's not gripping behind the wall and you are automatically pulled back on the red cords with one hand as you exert pressure on the screwdriver with the other. That's what I did and I didn't have a single problem with spinning or lack of grip. So just take your time, use a non-electric screwdriver and you'll be absolutely fine.I really can't recommend this product highly enough - I'm now eyeing up all the other plasterboard walls around the house that I didn't think I'd be able to hang anything heavy on. 100% recommended.

Backstory:I have a 55” television and needed to get it mounted on our wall quickly (our 1 year old is getting into everything and I found him slapping the screen a week before mounting). I bought a great mount and was ready to go but I failed to realize that the mount I bought was designed for wall studs 16” on center. As it turns out the studs in my target wall are 24” on center. This created a situation in which I was going to have to get creative with some sort of unsightly bracket on the wall, tear into the wall to install horizontal 2x4s or, get a hold of some of the best drywall anchors money can buy. Based on the product I am reviewing you can probably guess that I chose the latter option. One thing to keep in mind, I AM NOT relying solely on the drywall anchors to support the full weight of the television and mount (total weight of both is just shy of 60 lbs). My mount has two lag bolts in the center wall stud and four drywall anchors for added support in each corner.Pros:This product is STURDY. As soon as I pulled them out of the package I felt REALLY confident that they were going to stand the test of time. No doubts.I felt like the added youtube channel explaining exactly how to use the product was a great bonus.Cons:The string used to pull the wings tight to the center piece could be a little bit stronger. While pulling the wing against the center piece of one unit the string snapped and I was left with a center screw only partially installed. To get around that I had to insert a very thin nail into one of the smaller holes next to the center hole to anchor the wing and prevent it from spinning so that I could get the first smaller side screw inserted. To make matters more challenging, because the string had snapped, I had to use a pair of plyers to pull the wing tight by firmly pulling the center screw towards me. The fortunate thing is that I was able to avoid having the wing fall into the drywall cavity and no further holes were necessary. If you’re going to use this product I would actually recommend using fishing line or a guitar string. Alternatively, because the product comes with two strings, I would DEFINITELY only use one string for two units and then switch to the other.Summary:Once the mount was installed ln the wall it was very clear that it wasn’t going to move. I have a high level of confidence that my television will stay put and I do not feel like I need to worry about my son being crushed by a falling television. All in all, this is a great product and I highly recommend it.

Un invento fenómeno. Para aguantar grandes pesos en pladur. Y muy fácil de poner.

I used it to ancre a 50 lbs weight bench to the wall and the installation is very solid. The installation is also very easy compared to other heavy duty dry wall ancre I have used. It is a little bit pricey though, so I will use them only when really necessary.

These are the best wall anchors on the market they just don’t advertise them enough! . They are incredible. No other wall anchors even get close to them and no YouTuber I know has put them in a test they would win . I put up heavy TVs, heavy Barn doors , heavy shelving . Been using them for 15 years zero faults .
