Hanging a picture or a heavy mirror? You’ll need a good wall fastener to hang it on. When possible, a wall anchor should go into a stud or other solid framing material. Often this isn’t possible -- depending on where you want it hung. In that circumstance, you wind up putting your "anchor" into wallboard and crossing your fingers. When no stud's available, use a fastener designed especially for wallboard. There are plenty to choose from -- molly screws and toggle bolts and anchors that drive in, screw in or expand in the wall. The real secret is using one that’s designed for the weight you are hanging. If it’s big or heavy, use larger fasteners and more than one -- to share the load. Always drill a proper-sized pilot hole first. And don’t overtighten your fastener as it could damage the surrounding wallboard and weaken the anchor’s holding power. And that's the On The House tip for today.
