These fixings aren’t terribly strong so should only be used for light weight items such as pictures or maybe a coat hook Selecting the right type of hinge can easily make or break a project so with this in mind, find out all about the different type of hinge below and how they should be used. What is a Hinge? Today, continuous hinges are used for quite a variety of jobs including cabinets and storage chests/boxes, desks, workbenches and also large versions are commonly used on bi-folding doors. Pivot or knife hinges are commonly used in furniture making, especially for desks, bureaus and the similar, mainly for lids and also for doors, especially those that need to swing both ways and those that are very heavy such as solid reinforced glass doors.
There is one hammer in fixing which we use a lot. Its very easy to use, simply hammer in and it will take a fair bit of weight.
As with the other similar fixings, these can be used for a range of jobs from light weight jobs to heavier tasks such as shelves and wall units.
These are basically the same as a wall plug you would use in a masonry wall only it’s slightly adapted for use with plasterboard and similar sheet materials. Drilling a tiny pilot hole will warn you if there is anything behind the board and also stop any movement when you insert it. When the Redidrive is fully inserted up to it’s collar, you simply screw whatever you need to fix to the wall using the screw provided by screwing it into the centre of the fixing. These hinges are generally rather small and delicate and are normally used in fine furniture making and the similar. When using wall plugs, as a screw is screwed into one it expands and bites into the sides of the hole it’s inserted into holding it in place, but as plasterboard is soft, the expansion of the plug simply widens the hole you have put it into and in no time at all it will work loose and fall out.For a countersunk screw with a rounded head, also called an oval countersunk, you start the measurement where the oval top and the countersunk half meet in the middle. In other words, where the oval top would rest on the surface. This is a medium grade fixing and is not really suitable for large, heavy objects and is more suited to holding very small cupboards, small, lightweight shelves, utensil clips and the similar. On the subject of weight, it’s important to mention that certain plasterboard fixings are made specifically for hanging heavy objects on plasterboard, so if this is the case for you, then ensure you use the correct fixings for the object you’re installing.
