Recommended Fixings

Wood Fixing:
Use 8-gauge screws (28–40mm, or up to 100mm for deep penetration through multiple wall layers). Screws pass through the 10mm access hole and fasten into the 5mm fixing hole.

Concrete Fixing:
Drill a 5mm hole into the concrete, insert a wall plug, then use 8-gauge screws. 

For applications that need extra strength, use a 10-gauge hex head screw.

The holes should be drilled 16 mm / 7 mm into the material.
