CR-05Use the right fixing for your wallInto a timber stud, drive a 4x50mm wood screw straight into the pilot hole and into the centre of the timber — never use a plastic wall plug here, it isn't needed and won't help. If a fixing point falls on plasterboard between studs, use a toggle or hollow-wall anchor rated for the coat rack's loaded weight, since a full rack of wet coats pulls outward as it's used. If you found metal studs in step CR-02, use a self-drilling or toggle-type metal-stud fixing, never a wood screw or plastic plug, as it will strip straight through 0.5mm steel — and for anything heavier or pulled on hard, fit a timber noggin between the studs first. For solid brick or block, drill a 6mm hole to 40mm depth and use a matching wall plug and screw; for dot-and-dab plasterboard, use a fixing long enough to pass through the dab and reach at least 25mm into the masonry behind.
