Frequently Asked Questions

AIndependent load tests revealed that GeeFix outperforms all other heavy-duty cavity wall fixings on the market. The GeeFix fixings were tested for shear, tensile and cantilever strength capabilities on 15mm plasterboard.

These are ultimate holdings per fixing using the screws provided in the pack and for items held next to the wall.
The ultimate holding will be less for those items held away from the wall such as shelves and cantilever TV brackets.
Values are given as guides only and cannot be guaranteed. Age, condition, and capacity of the base material must be considered. When installing your item industry standards recommend ¼ of the ultimate load.

Heavy Duty Plasterboard Fixings

AYes, but you will need longer installation screws to suit the thickness of your wall. When you place your order, let us know the thickness of the wall and we can make up a pack for you with longer screws to suit the installation.

AYes. Once installed with the screws provided, the centre fixing screw can be replaced with varying types of screws ranging from M8 coach screws to 3mm cup hooks. Larger diameter screws will self-tap through the insert plug and into the backplate. If using 6mm or 8mm diameter screws, pilot drill through the insert plug and into the backplate with a drill bit just below the diameter of your chosen screw. A little lubricant on the screw will help the installation.

Heavy Duty Plasterboard Fixings
AYes. GeeFix is ideal because it only requires a minimum cavity of 30mm. The interiors of caravans/motor homes are made from hardboard. The insert plug can be cut down to suit the thickness of your hardboard. Of course, the strength of any fixing is ultimately determined by the strength of the material you are fixing in to. When installing the fixings, it is very important to make sure that you don’t use screws longer than your cavity depth so that you don’t pierce the outer skin of your caravan /motor /home.
AAn electric or manual drill with a 25mm bit or a hole saw and a screwdriver. That’s it!
AYes. Drill a 25mm hole into the board then either side of the hole collapse the paramount which will allow you to insert the backplate into the cavity.
AThe position of the backplate isn’t critical but a good option is to place it vertically or at a 45-degree angle approx.
AYes. They can be used on ceilings however ceiling boards are normally 9.5mm thick as opposed to 12.5mm for wall boards so the strength of the fixing will be less for ceilings.
