How do you use a nail-in fastener?

Published in Fasteners 1 min read

To use a nail-in fastener, you'll drill a hole, insert the anchor, and then hammer the nail to secure it. Here's a breakdown of the process:

  1. Drill a pilot hole: Ensure the hole in the fixture and the material you're attaching to is the same size as the nail-in anchor's sleeve.

  2. Insert the Anchor: Place the nail-in anchor through the hole in the fixture. It's important not to remove the nail from the sleeve at this stage.

  3. Hammer the Nail: Drive the nail into the sleeve using a hammer. This expands the sleeve and secures the anchor in place.
