How To Use Toggle Bolts?

Choose the correct toggle bolt size for the wall thickness and item weight

Mark the mounting location on the wall

Drill a hole large enough for the folded toggle wings to pass through

Thread the bolt through the item you want to mount

Attach the toggle wings to the bolt and fold them closed

Push the folded toggle through the hole until the wings open behind the wall

Pull the bolt gently to keep the wings seated against the back of the wall

Tighten the bolt with a screwdriver until the item is secure

Do not overtighten

Repeat for any additional mounting points

Remove by unscrewing the bolt and pushing the toggle into the wall if needed
