Default Alternatives to drywall anchors?


wrote in message
...
I used plastic drywall anchors to mount a towel ring to the bathroom
wall. The anchors have pulled out of the wall.

I've used toggle bolts in the past, but they require pretty large
holes, and the holes for this particular mounting are only about an
inch apart.

Suggestions?


I assume you used the basic cone-shaped anchors, right? In between those and
toggle bolts is a middle solution: Somewhat fancier plastic anchors with
"wings", sort of. Go to www.homedepot.com and search for this item number:
169103

These things don't need a hole quite as large as you'd make for metal
toggles. Might be a good solution.
