I am replacing some old wall lights with some new Där fittings. I was
somewhat surprised to see that the wallplugs and screws supplied were
of different lengths. The wallplugs were 25mm x 5mm, and the screws
35mm x 3.5mm. The diameters match well, but why would you use a 35mm
screw with a 25mm wallplug?


Is the object being screwed to the wall 10mm thick by any chance?


Allows for 10mm of plaster?
