Product Introduction
A spring toggle, also called a toggle bolt, is a heavy-duty fastener designed to secure objects to hollow walls or ceilings where studs aren’t accessible. It consists of a bolt with a spring-loaded winged toggle (two metal flaps) attached to one end.
To install, drill a hole, insert the folded toggle through it, and as the bolt is tightened, the toggle springs open behind the wall, spreading the load over a larger area. This design provides strong holding power—ideal for mounting heavy items like shelves, mirrors, or light fixtures.
Made from materials like steel (zinc-plated for corrosion resistance), spring toggles work with drywall, plaster, or hollow concrete blocks. They’re favored for their reliability in hollow surfaces, though they’re not reusable once the toggle is deployed. A versatile solution for home and commercial installations needing secure anchoring without studs.
- What is a spring toggle used for?
Secures heavy items (shelves, mirrors) to hollow walls/ceilings where studs are unavailable. - How does a spring toggle work?
Insert folded toggle through a hole; tightening the bolt makes the toggle spring open, gripping the wall from behind. - What weight can it hold?
Depends on size—typically 10–50 lbs in drywall; heavier duty versions handle more. - Can it be reused?
No, once the toggle opens behind the wall, it can’t be retracted without damaging the surface. - What surfaces work with it?
Ideal for drywall, plaster, or hollow concrete blocks; not for solid walls/studs.
