Installing a self-drilling anchor is a straightforward process, primarily used for hanging items on drywall without needing a pre-drilled hole. Here's how to do it:
-
Position the Anchor: Place the tip of the self-drilling anchor against the drywall where you want to install it.
-
Drive the Anchor: Using a screwdriver or screw gun, drive the anchor into the drywall with a clockwise motion.
-
Stop When Flush: Continue driving the anchor until it is flush with the wall's surface. Avoid overtightening, as this can damage the drywall.
-
Attach Your Item: Position the item you wish to hang over the installed anchor.
-
Insert Screw: Insert a screw through the item and into the self-drilling anchor. Tighten the screw until the item is securely held against the wall.
