Grip-It fixings are a useful way of fixing to plaster board. The one in my left hand there
is a blue one which can hold up to 90 kilograms on a plaster board wall
and we also have the smaller red one there. So these are very useful and you
can get a couple of tools to help you when you are installing these. You can
get an under cutting tool and you can also get a special hole saw that should
cut a clean hole in the plaster board. I am now going to install a shelf on a stud
petition wall using the blue Grip-It fixings and I'll show you just exactly how
easy it is to use these fixings. I'm going to be fixing these stainless steel
ladder brackets, I'm going to fix these onto the plasterboard approximately
there and then equally spaced in the opposite direction. So I'm going to put the
bracket exactly where I want it and I'm just going to mark through the two
fixing holes. For the blue fixings you do need a 25 millimeter hole so I'm going
to use the dedicated cutter from Grip-It or you can use a 25 millimeter flat
wood bit. So I'm now going to drill the two holes.
I'm now going to take the Grip-It fixing, push it into the hole and then just
tap that in using a hammer.
Then I am going to take a screwdriver, push that into the center then I'm going
to push that in and want to turn it all the way to the right. I'll now repeat
that on the bottom fixing hole. I'm now going to take the bracket, put the screw through
and then I'm going to screw that directly into the Grip-It
Now I will do exactly the same to the bottom.
Then I'm just going to check it for being level before tightening up the two screws.
I'm now going to repeat that for the second bracket.
Once you've done that you are left with a very strong fixing in the plasterboard.
