Screw Anchors Build Solid Foundations
Whether you're hanging a picture or putting it on television, anything that goes on the wall needs an anchor. If you can attach it to a stud in the wall, you're OK; you've got well-supported wood into which to insert a screw that will secure whatever you're attaching. However, if you are unable to locate a stud in the location specified, you may encounter difficulty. That is why drywall anchors are necessary.
Screw anchors are made to ensure that your screws are securely fastened. As the screw is inserted, the anchor is forced to expand and open somewhat. Drywall anchors come in a variety of styles. By selecting the appropriate one for the job at hand, you may avoid excessive damage to your walls and guarantee that the mounting is robust enough to support the load.
Drywall anchors are little components that are slightly larger in diameter than the screws being used on a project. Depending on the sort of anchor you're using, it may be constructed of plastic or metal and feature little fins protruding from the anchor's exterior and a hole along the length of the anchor.
For some light-duty applications, such as tiny picture frames or a light display shelf, coarse-threaded screws designed to be driven into drywall without an anchor or pilot hole are sufficient. They're rated to support the same amount of weight as plastic sleeve anchor shackles and have the advantage of leaving a relatively tiny hole when removed. Screw anchors and anchor shackles are used in combination for the purpose of better installation and proper fit.
