Question 1

I see they come with a 6mm drill bit, what size screws are best?

Accepted Answer

Personally with 6mm I go with a fatter red plug like rawl plug uno and find a 5mm screw gives a secure finish ... hope that helps... all my very best, Cliff Inventor and MD

Question 2

How many per kitchen unit would I need during an install? e.g. 1 for a 600mm unit, 2 for a 1000mm unit, 3 for a tall unit etc?

Accepted Answer

Because all floor mounted units are screwed together…two for wide the units and one for each narrow unit will be all you’d need. Remember the worktop is also secured to the wall and units, once you add the entire weight the kitchen isn't going to go anywhere.

Question 3

I need these but for smaller gaps. Could they but cut down to approx 20mm in theory?

Accepted Answer

Hi Steve, Yes indeed ... we don't "advise" it of course but they are made from polyproylene and will cut fine with a hacksaw or similar ... a Tip ... if you wind them both together fully you can then cut both barts at once, you need to cut the back of the female off as the female thread is only at the front. Hope that helps Sir! :) Cliff Inventor and MD

Question 4

Could you use these to attach ikea pac wardrobes to a wall when skirting board is in place?

Accepted Answer

Many thanks for your question. We're often used with installing wardrobes. Depends on the situation a little though. Out of the sides of the wardrobes to adjacent walls is not a problem at all. Through the rear back panelof wardrobes is slightly different but as long as you can still access the adjustable spacer over the top of the unit during installation and the rear panel of the wardrobe you're fixing through is strong enough for the job there's no reason why not! Hope that helps and feel very free to come back to me if I can help further. Cliff Inventor and MD :)
