Plasplug Dr308 Panel Door Fixing (10)

These work perfectly, but judging by the other reviews you need to be careful about drilling the correct sized hole.On the packaging it states a 6mm drill bit, but (perhaps unhelpfully) has a picture of an HSS drill bit. Don't use an HSS drill, use a 6mm wood drill bit as shown in the pictures.Drill the holes carefully (not pushing hard since you don't want to make a dent on the inside of the opposite side of the door). Insert the plugs and tap them in gently with a hammer.The plugs then work perfectly, and offer a firm hold. Note that (as mentioned in other reviews) they are not 100% flush because the outer flange sits proud of the door panel by perhaps 0.5mm.As shown in the images, the plus perfectly well hold an ironing board hook, for an ironing board that's not especially light.Overall these are very good and I will use them again.

I bought these fixings as I have modern, hollow, doors and wanted to fit some robe hooks. They do work well, but only if you follow the fitting instructions precisely.Use a 66mm wood drill for a precise hole, an ordinary drill will create a hole slightly too big and the fitting will not grip.The screws too, are very specific, too big and the fixing spins when you tighten, too small and they don’t grip.

Yes I have secured things to door using the raw plugs - but as it is a hollow door the raw plug turns with the screw and does not fully tighten. - things very secure - but not perfect.

Granted the application is a tough briefHollow doors are a travesty and should never exist.That aside when someone produces a product to remedy a poor situation you have a right to have some expectations of success. Don't be fooled. First off they do not run flush. The outer ring protrudes meaning that fixing a flat hook or whatever is never going to work. You inevitably get a gap which will give leverage to any force that wants to rip the fixing back out of the wall.Now if that wasn't bad enough even when you press home tight, that's to say you don't have a bigger hole than the plug, it still doesn't bite. When you bottom the screw and hit what should be the last turn it will continue to spin. This isn't my first rodeo, I know how plugs work and this doesn't work.After hanging a coat for a couple of days it's already started to drag back out of the door. It's over.Granted £2 doesn't break the bank but save your money. Waste of time.

I mistakenly used a standard wall plug in my hollow door which was lose from the start.I purchased these to replace the old poorly fitted wall plugs ànd now have a very sturdy hook on the back of my bathroom door.Easy to install and so far have been up for several months without any issues. I will use these from now on!

The product details state:The triple-point drill bit included in the clip pack provides a clean accurate hole for the fixing. But as you will find no drill bit present????

6mm hole in the door and a 25 x 3.5mm screw, it didn't 'bite'. The screws screwed in OK, but then just turned and didn't tighten up. I don't expect them to fall out as they are loaded vertically downward but I'm not 100% comfortable with the job overall. Maybe I'll use a 4.0mm screw next time.

They do exactly what they say they do but be careful, make sure before you put them in, you've ensured the hole is big enough. Otherwise, if you try to force them in, they'll break off and you'll have a bit of it stuck in the hole.
