How to fasten our products to your walls.
Most electrical outlets and switches conform to standard construction measurements, so our electrical cover plates come with screws designed specifically for the purpose.
Our towel bars, paper holders, coat hooks and key/accessory holders do not come with screws because there are so many different wall types, and no single fastening method will work for all types of walls.
Here are some general methods for attaching our products to your walls. Click your wall type to see how to fasten to your walls.

Plain Wood Walls

For solid wood walls, a simple screw will work. Screws come in many types, and many people use what is called a drywall screw or a wood screw. Drywall and Wood Screws come in a flat head type and work well in solid wood. A 1" wood or drywall screw will work nicely. Drywall screws are usually black in color and they blend nicely with our wrinkle black painted products. Antique brass wood screws blend nicely with our rust painted products. Because the head is tapered, they do not fit totally flush with the metal, but you could chamfer the hole if you prefer a flush fit.

Another option would be to use sheet metal screws. Sheet metal screws come in Round Head and Pan Head types which will fit flush against the metal. They can be purchased with a sharp point and course threads which work almost the same as a wood screw. Sheet metal screws are usually zinc coated to prevent rust, but it is easy to stick them into a piece of Styrofoam and spray paint the heads before installing them.

When putting a screw into a solid wood, it may be necessary to drill a hole a bit smaller than the screw size. This will make putting the screw in relatively easy.

Drywall and Plaster With Studs.

If you are lucky enough to have the holes in your product land precisely over the wooden studs in your walls, mounting the products is simply a matter of screwing them to the wall as if the wall is a solid wood wall. You will need to use longer screws to reach through the drywall and into the wood. Usually, a 2" or 2-1/2" long screw will work.

Toggle Bolt Mounting System

Drywall and Plaster Without Studs.

Usually the holes never end up over a stud, so a different method of mounting is necessary to handle the weight that might be applied to the item and keep it from pulling off of the wall.

There are many different mounting systems for drywall and plaster. Two of the more common are a toggle bolt system and a molly bolt system. Both are available at most any hardware store.

Most of the screws are usually zinc coated to prevent rust, but it is easy to stick them into a piece of Styrofoam and spray paint the heads before installing them.

Concrete and Block Walls

Fastening to a concrete wall or cinder block wall is a bit more difficult, but is still rather easy.

One common method is to use a fiber or plastic insert and sheet metal screw. These are widely available at most all hardware stores.

Basically, you will need a carbide tipped masonry drill bit to drill a hole in the concrete. The plastic insert is pressed into the hole, and when the screw is driven into the insert, the insert expands inside the concrete hole, and holds tightly to it.

Because the screws are basically sheet metal screws, they are usually zinc coated to prevent rust, but it is easy to stick them into a piece of Styrofoam and spray paint the heads before installing them.

There are also screws designed specifically for fastening things to concrete, and all that is necessary to use them is a carbide tipped masonry drill bit. The screws are hardened and cut threads in the concrete as they are being installed. They are a  rather easy way to fasten to concrete, but a nice head design is not always available at the local hardware store.
