Default Looking for advice on replacing a wall anchor

I've had something similar happen. Sometimes it can be as simple as the hole
that the anchor is in is just a wee bit too large.
It happens with plastic anchors and curtain rods, towel bars, anything that
gets pulled on a little. I hate plastic anchors for that reason.


Well, this isn't just a little plastic sleeve that expands a little as
the screw goes into it. It's one of those big things with threads on
the outside that you screw in first then put your screw into the
middle of it.

Patching the hole and going right back into it will likely pull out the
first time you use it again.


Yeah. :-(
