Reliable wall mount
When replacing furniture, wall cabinets, a reliable fastening to a brick or concrete wall is necessary. To ensure reliable fastening, there is a wide selection of fastening devices, from the simplest plugs or dowels to powerful bolted devices.
Reliable fastening is especially important when installing kitchen wall cabinets, specifically for small kitchen rooms. Modern furniture fittings allow you to mount a kitchen set vertically, for example, TANDEMBOX TIP-ON allows you to open and close just by pressing. This modern element of accessories greatly facilitates the use of wall cabinets and makes it possible to create a modern kitchen design in a small area. A options fasteners, you choose yourself based on the knowledge gained from this article.

Dowels and plugs
The simplest devices for a variety of screws, designed for a diameter of 2.7 to 6.3 mm. made of molded plastic.
In the wall, a hole is drilled into which the dowel or cork is inserted, then a screw is screwed into it, which gradually expands the walls of the dowel or cork and tightly clamps the assembly in the wall hole.
Metal and plastic dowels are produced with coarse thread and a pointed tip; they themselves cut holes in drywall or in lightweight concrete blocks.
Spacer Bolts (Anchor Bolts)
When working with a spacer bolt (anchor bolt), one principle is used: the bolt is screwed into the thread of the expander nut through a segmented metal or plastic sleeve.
Gradually, when tightening the bolt, the expander pushes the segments of the nut, thereby clamping them in the hole. The release of hooks and eyelets with the same fastening has been arranged.
Dowels for nails (dowel nails)
Instead of dowels with screws, it is possible to use a dowel-nails.
This type of fastener can be of two types: the first consists of a pressed plastic expansion bolt shield with a flange and a nail for masonry, and the second is a ready-made set of a screw and expansion bolt shield for driving.
Both of these types are hammered into the drilled hole with a hammer, but only a screw can be removed with a screwdriver. This mount is used to fix frames, battens, wall cladding and skirting boards.
Fixture for frames
This fastener is used to speed up work, simplifies the connection on screws in wooden, plastic or metal door, window frames and frames, while eliminating the need for marking and preliminary drilling of fixing holes.
These long fasteners are supplied complete with screws or electroplated bolts and may have plastic plugs.
During installation, initially, the fixed part is installed in place, then a hole in the wall is drilled through it, then fasteners are inserted and the screw is tightened.
Hollow Door Hardware
To do this, a special plastic dowel is produced, the use of which allows you to attach light elements to thin hollow doors.
Wall mount
Since, in modern construction, very often uses drywall, partitions from drywall - in the future, the question arises about the fastenings on the frame walls of drywall.
Modern manufacturers have launched the release of devices for such fasteners, basically, the principle of opening the device behind the panel is used.
rubber anchor
The principle of operation of the rubber anchor is that a steel screw or bolt, when tightened, pulls the inner nut onto itself, and it, in turn, flattens the rubber sleeve on the inside of the panel.
lever gravity and spring anchors
These fasteners for frame walls have special levers that open inside the cavity.
The gravitational fixing anchor has one lever, which, under its own weight, rotates around the hinge at one end.
The spring lever anchor contains two spring levers, they open when exiting behind the hole, then a screw or bolt tightly presses them to the opposite side of the panel.
If a screw or screw has to be loosened, then some anchors remain in the hole, while others (nylon and lever) disappear, falling into the cavity.
The rubber anchor can be removed and reused. But none of these devices can be used for heavy loads.
Even with moderate loads, on wet stucco walls with crates, it is necessary to use large lever gravity and spring anchors, rather than plug-type dowels.
Collapsible fasteners
A variety of screws are a simple and effective means of fastening, but there are times when you need to strengthen the material or even change the type of fastener to maintain the connection.
In this case, collapsible fasteners make it easy to assemble and disassemble parts.
chipboard fasteners
This fastener consists of a nylon insert (dowel), has an external thread, it is screwed into the hole from the front side or the edge of the chipboard, thereby ensuring a reliable connection with screws.
barrel nut
A steel barrel nut is able to provide strength to the ends of the crossbars with panels or frames.
A barrel is installed in a blind hole drilled in the crossbar, a screw or bolt is screwed into the threaded hole on the side of the barrel, for this a technological hole is made in the end of the crossbar for a screw or bolt.
threaded sleeve
If you need to make a neat hidden connection, use this metal insert for a screw or bolt.
flange nut
If it is necessary to firmly connect the wooden parts, use this threaded connection, when the metal nut is pressed against the back of the hole in the part, the teeth of the nut cut into the tree.
butt block (connection block)
To connect the panels at right angles to each other, use the butt unit.
Butt blocks are of different types, but basically, they are plastic pads, which consist of two parts, they are attached to the panels, then screwed together.
One half has pins that, when connected, are inserted into the hole in the other half.
