Hammer fixings are specialised, heavy-duty fasteners designed for fast, high-volume installation into solid masonry, brick, stone, or concrete.
Unlike standard wall plugs where you drill a hole, insert the plug, and then use a screwdriver, hammer fixings allow you to drill straight through the fixture and hammer both the plug and screw in together in one step.
How They Work
A hammer fixing consists of a long plastic nylon sleeve and a specially threaded steel screw.
The screw threads are angled, allowing it to be driven straight in with a hammer strike.
As the screw is hammered home, it forces the nylon sleeve to expand against the walls of the pre-drilled hole, creating a permanent, friction-locked hold.
Key Advantages
Through-Fixing Efficiency: You do not need to mark out holes, remove the item, insert plugs, and line it up again. You simply hold the timber or metal bracket in place, drill through both the item and the wall, push the fixing in, and strike it.
Time Saving: Ideal for repetitive tasks where you are installing long runs of material (e.g., hundreds of wall battens).
High Shear Strength: Because the nylon sleeve runs through the entire thickness of the fixture, it protects the screw from shearing and provides excellent structural support.
