Molly Screws - Your solution for difficult fastenings

How to safely hang a heavy shelf on a plaster wall? Or maybe you have trouble mounting a TV on cinder blocks?   Molly screws are your secret weapon in the fight against difficult mounting surfaces.   I will introduce you to the world of these extraordinary fasteners.

In my experience, many customers underestimate the potential of Molly screws. And that's a shame, because they are true wonders of technology! Do you know how many times I've heard, "If I had known about these screws earlier, I would have saved myself a lot of stress"? Believe me, a lot.

Molly Screws - How Do They Work and Why Are They So Special?

Molly screws are not just ordinary screws - they are little engineering masterpieces.   Their secret lies in a special, expanding sleeve that expands behind the wall, creating a solid mount. It's like a miniature anchor that provides stability even in the most fragile materials.

Imagine trying to hang a heavy picture on a drywall wall. A regular screw? Forget it. But a Molly screw? It will install like a dream and will hold a lot of weight. That's why they are so popular in modern construction.

Types of Molly screws - choose the perfect one for your project

In our warehouse we offer a wide selection of Molly screws. Here are the basic types:

• Standard Molly screws - a universal solution for most applications
• Molly flat head screws - ideal when you want an aesthetic finish
• Molly screws with hook - great for hanging lamps or plants
• Molly stainless steel screws - for outdoor or wet room applications

Remember, selecting the right Molly screw is the key to success.   I always ask my clients about the type of wall, the thickness of the board, and the weight of the object being fastened. This allows me to choose the ideal size and type of screw.

How to use Molly screws correctly?

Okay, so we have the right screw, but how do we install it properly? Here are some tips from a seasoned pro:

1. Drill a hole slightly larger than the screw sleeve. Not too large, or the screw will lose its holding power!

2. Insert the sleeve into the hole and lightly tap it in with a hammer. It should be flush with the wall.

3. Screw in the screw. You will feel resistance as the sleeve begins to expand. This is a good sign!

4. Tighten the screw all the way. Voilà! You have a solid mount.
