Fixings are chosen by what you are fixing into, not by what you are hanging, and getting that one thing right solves most problems. Solid masonry takes a plastic wall plug matched to the drill bit, colour-coded by size, with yellow at 5mm, red at 6mm, brown at 7mm and grey at 10mm, and universal packs pair the plug with the correct screw so nothing is guessed. Plasterboard is the case people get wrong: a standard plug spins uselessly in a hollow wall, so self-drill metal fixings, plasterboard plugs or interset cavity fixings in M4 and M5 from 32mm to 52mm are what hold. Timber takes drywall and wood screws sized 3.5mm through 4.2mm in lengths from 35 to 70mm. Purpose-made kits exist for the awkward jobs, covering TV brackets on solid walls, curtain poles and garden gates, and they take the sizing decision away entirely.

Rawlplug supplies most of the range across wall plugs, universal plug and screw packs, plasterboard and cavity fixings, drywall screws and the TV bracket, curtain pole and garden gate kits, with Timco for collated brad nails and Dargan for pop rivets.
