This is an excellent and useful article on screw fixings. I used it this morning to show new member of the team here at Spur Shelving the difference between different fixing sizes and which plugs to use. I explained how using a substantial fixing on flimsy twin slot uprights will not work as the countersink is not deep enough but on genuine Spur which we make in Devon England will take the larger screw size and still allow the bracket to fit. I guess we got the design right in 1952 so why change it. Insist on the best it will be branded Spur UK.
2 Questions: 1) I have a bunch of plugs (all colors) and a bunch of screws. Now, how do I know which plugs to use with which screws? 2) I need to hang a heavy mirror on a lath and plaster wall. Do I use plugs + screws? Is there a tip on drilling into plaster walls? Many thanks.
A heavy mirror really needs to go into the studs of the wall. You can find them with a big magnet or a wall/metal detector etc. to find the nails holding the lath to the studs. Once you have the studs located you can go ahead and use normal wood screws. Use a thick gauge though and drill a pilot hole appx half the screws diameter of the big screw might get stuck half way in.
Would be nice if 7mm glass bit drills were more available at a good price .these are fantastic at drilling accurate holes for masonry I normally use a 6 mm drill and the finish with 7mm cobalt drill for brown plugs for 5mm screws
I am not really sure if the wall is pure solid concrete, most probably bricks under and cement plaster on the surface. The staff at ScrewFix cannot give me any suggestions, they only sell products (-; Since the mirror is not really that heavy, will you give me any suggestions on what size and type of screws should I use? And also what rawl plugs size and drill bit size should I also use? Many Thanks!
Cheers!

Where I live in Indochina we can only get hardwood chopsticks. They can be used in the same manner only before you make with the screw and screwdriver, I crack the wood by banging a flat-blade screwdriver in to the wood to crack it so the screw has a pilot hole.
Then what you do is drill two holes in the back of the box corresponding to the holes on the front. Then using a mini grinder fitted with a 1mm cutting disk, carefully cut out the majority of the back of the box, making sure you leave the part with the holes you just drilled. I leave about 5mm on the top and bottom too for added rigidity.
Then you simply screw this box on top of the existing back box and lo, your new screw fixing points are 50mm further forward (or more or less depending on the box you chose. You can even do this multiple times (you can buy 25, 35, and 50mm boxes or more).
I have a slotted square 80mm hook which I want to use for hanging a large mirror on a masonry wall. I am looking for an appropriate wall plug and the closest I have found is a 70mm at Screwfix. Will that work ? Thanks.
Another point is that heavy loads are as much about the substrate as the actual fixing. Old crumbly masonry (for example) or hitting a largely empty (of mortar) cross joint in blockwork (for example), will cause more problems with failure than screw size itself.
Let me know more details (mirror size/weight/ hook shank size etc.) if you need more specific help. We have hung really large mirrors (like six feet tall heavy/ gilded things) on pairs of thick shanked screws in brown plugs with no problems.
Thanks for the kind words,
Cheers

Hi Ian, very useful article thank you.
I have 10mm lag screws that I need to fit into a 15mm render and 100mm concrete block wall. Shank is 30mm and screw thread is 50mm. Can you advise on suitable plug toninsert to a depth of 80mm Thank you.
Please help me. Am i meant to measuring the threaded part of the screw or the non threaded (shank only) of the screw? A Number 10 Screw seems to have a 5.0mm thread but a 3.5mm shank? To confirm we are talking thread only yes?
Hi Lal,
Definitely not a brown plug as they are 7mm and blue plugs are usually 10mm so neither are any use in an 8mm hole. However some stores will stock 8mm plugs. Fischer used to make an 8mm plug I believe (all their plugs are grey.) Or alternatively you could drill the hole one size up and use the blue plugs.
Hi Danny,
There is a strict relationship between the drill size and the rawl plug size with zero adjustment. A brown 7mm plug needs a 7mm hole for example. However the size or gauge of screw the plug takes is flexible, according to the manufacturers. A brown plug might take anything from 8 to 12 gauge screws (4mm, 5mm, 5.5mm) for example.
