About GeeFix
GeeFix was invented by a plumbing and heating engineer with over 40 years’ experience in the trade. We are proud that not only was GeeFix designed and developed in the UK, but that it is also manufactured in Shropshire supporting local industry and British business.
It was developed with the aim of creating a fixing which would secure heavy items to plasterboard/drywall walls. The interiors of modern homes are constructed from studwork and plasterboard so that GeeFix is the ideal product for fixing those heavy objects to cavity walls. TVs, radiators, towel rails, shelving, cabinets, cupboards, mirrors, curtain rails ……… just some of the many items that can be securely fixed to plasterboard with our fixings.
These hollow wall fixings can also be used to refix an object to a plasterboard wall where a different type of fixing has failed. For example, where a radiator has come away from a wall, a GeeFix fixing can be installed in the same position as the failed fixing and so often reduce the amount of work necessary to repair plasterboard.
Can be adapted for use with smaller objects, such as bathroom accessories, where fixing holes are close together. In these instances, one fixing can be used to secure the item by using the length of the backplate in the cavity for additional fixing points.
Geefix Cavity Wall Fixings
Below is a step-by-step image gallery showing how to use heavy duty plasterboard fixings GeeFix.
Step 1
Drill a 1” hole centered on your desired location
Step 2
Assemble your GeeFix wall anchor system as shown above by threading the supplied blue pullcord through the round wall plug, the curved back plate, and back through the wall plug.
Step 3
While holding onto the pullcord, feed the curved back plate into the hole and center on the 1″ hole
Step 4
While keeping light tension on the pullcord slide the wall plug into the 1″ hole to align with the holes on the back plate
Step 5
While keeping firm tension on the pullcord, screw the large screw into the center hole until the GeeFix becomes firm, but do not overtighten. Keeping tension on the pullcord will keep the back plate in place during installation.
Step 6
Pull out the pullcord but do not discard. You can use the same pullcord on additional GeeFix installations.
Step 7
Insert the 2 smaller screws on either side of the large screw and tighten until the GeeFix is firmly secured but do not overtighten.
Step 8
Remove the center screw
Step 9
Now that your GeeFix system is installed, you can either use the center screw to fix your item, or use your own mounting hardware in its place.

Plasterboard walls present both convenience and challenge when it comes to hanging heavy items securely. In the past, concerns about the weight-bearing capacity of fixings often made this task daunting. However, with innovations like GeeFix, the game has changed.
The Challenge of Weight on Plasterboard

Plasterboard Fixings for Heavy Objects
Plasterboard Fixings for Heavy Objects
GeeFix offers the ideal plasterboard fixings for heavy objects. Whether you are a building trade professional or a DIY enthusiast, you know that traditional plasterboard fixings often have serious limitations. Many are tricky to install, prone to failure, or simply not reliable enough for heavy items—until now! With GeeFix, you get a versatile plasterboard fixing that outperforms all market leaders. Independent strength tests demonstrate that GeeFix excels in shear, tensile, and cantilever load-bearing capabilities compared to leading brands.
| Load Test | Maximum weight (kgs) |
| Shear | 270 |
| Tensile | 71 |
| Cantilever @ 73 mm | 243 |
| Cantilever @ 150 mm | 192 |
| Cantilever @ 300 mm | 102 |
These tests occurred on ⅝ inch plasterboard. Industry safety standards recommend using only ¼ of the ultimate load. Keep in mind that the maximum load-testing figures are guidelines and cannot be guaranteed, as age, condition, and the capacity of base materials must be considered.
In tests alongside Grip it fixings and spring toggles, GeeFix demonstrates its superior performance, as shown in the video below.
Moreover, GeeFix is compatible with various materials, including all types of plasterboard, hardboard, plywood, sheet metal, chipboard, MDF, and lath and plaster. It accommodates materials as thin as 0.12 inches and up to a maximum thickness of 3 inches. Installation requires no tools and takes just moments to complete.
Plasterboard Fixing for Heavy Furniture
GeeFix serves as the perfect plasterboard fixing for heavy furniture, especially as tip-over restraints for the IKEA Malm range or any other heavy items that could easily tip over.
Each GeeFix wall anchor package includes three screws, making them suitable for all types of drywall. Priced at £6.08 for a pack of four, you can click here to buy. For special trade prices, email your trade details to gary@geefix.com.

Designed to securely attach heavy items to plasterboard and drywall, GeeFix is the ideal solution for modern homes, which typically feature studwork and plasterboard. You can confidently fix TVs, radiators, towel rails, shelving, cabinets, cupboards, mirrors, and curtain rails using our fixings.
Additionally, if a different type of fixing has failed, reinstall a GeeFix fixing in the same position to often reduce repair work on plasterboard, particularly for items like radiators that have come loose.
Finally, GeeFix can adapt to smaller objects, such as bathroom accessories, where fixing holes are close together. In these cases, a single fixture can secure the item by utilizing the length of the backplate in the cavity for extra support.

Heavy Duty Plasterboard Fixings
From the beginning, we knew that GeeFix heavy duty plasterboard fixings would outperform competitors because of their large, flat, solid load-bearing backplate. Many popular fixings feature hollow, channel-shaped backplates with sharp edges that cut into plasterboard. These cuts weaken the plasterboard’s integrity over time, causing the fixings to loosen and ultimately fail. In an industry full of exaggerated claims, we sought solid data to back up our product. That’s why we arranged independent strength tests for GeeFix fixings. The graphic below shows their performance in strength tests on 15mm plasterboard.
Discover Heavy Duty Plasterboard Fixings: The Ultimate Solution for Secure Installations
Heavy duty plasterboard fixings must support three types of load forces: cantilever loads (suspended away from the wall), shear loads (pulling downward against the wall), and tensile loads (pulling away from the wall or ceiling). Most manufacturers emphasize their fixing’s shear strength, claiming superiority. However, a fixing with high shear strength may not handle heavy cantilever loads well, like a 32-inch flat screen television on an articulating wall mount.
To choose the right fixing for your installation, understand how it performs in all three categories. We hope our infographic helps you navigate the fixing market. If you have any questions, feel free to email us or use our online submission form at the bottom of the page. We’re here to help!
