Expensive though, but you probably won't need many. -- Spamtrap in use To email replace 127.0.0.1 with blueyonder dot co dot uk |

Erm, go and buy some screws and rawlplugs?
Better still, forget screws and rawlplugs and buy hammer in rawlbolts. This way, you position the unit on the wall, drill a hole through the back (through a strong section, not hardboard) typically at 10mm and then drill a 10mm hole into the masonry. The plug inserts and is hammered in, with a final twist with a screwdriver. Drilling through the hole in the unit means that the masonry hole doesn't wander and is in exactly the correct location. Far easier than marking on the wall and drilling for rawlplugs, which will be 5mm away from where you intended, at least with my drilling skills. Christian. |

Ignore the Ikea reference to flat headed screws, round headed will do as well. Personally I prefer to use rawlbolts. -- David Clark $message_body_include ="PLES RING IF AN RNSR IS REQIRD" |

In a couple of places I used a countersunk with a washer as I keep in a wide range. -- Spamtrap in use To email replace 127.0.0.1 with blueyonder dot co dot uk |
