Product Introduction
Toggle Bolt
Material
Carbon steel
Description
A Toggle Bolt is a commonly used fastener for hollow walls (such as drywall, wooden panels, etc.) or thin wall surfaces. It consists of a bolt and expandable metal wings that open outward during installation, providing stable support to securely hold screws or other mounted items. This design makes it especially suitable for applications where traditional wall plugs or anchors cannot be used.
Features
The metal wings of the Toggle Bolt open inside hollow walls and distribute the load evenly, providing greater support than traditional anchors or wall plugs. This makes it especially suitable for installing heavier items.
- Suitable for Hollow Walls: Due to its unique design, the Toggle Bolt is ideal for installation in hollow materials such as drywall, wooden panels, and thin cement walls, addressing the issue of insufficient holding power with conventional fastening methods.
- Easy Installation: The installation process is relatively simple—drill a pre-sized hole in the wall, insert the Toggle Bolt’s screw, expand and secure the metal wings inside the wall, then tighten the screw.
- Adjustability: Toggle Bolts come in various sizes and load capacities, allowing for appropriate support based on specific needs, making them versatile for a wide range of installation scenarios.
