Anchors fasten fixtures, racks, machinery, conduit and handrails to concrete, brick, block and drywall. This section covers wedge anchors and sleeve anchors for solid concrete, drop-in anchors for threaded rod hanging, concrete screw anchors, hammer drive pins, lag shields, plastic expansion anchors, toggle bolts and hollow wall anchors. Materials include zinc-plated steel, hot-dip galvanized and stainless.

What to check before you order

  • Base material. Wedge anchors are meant for solid concrete. Sleeve anchors and concrete screws also work in block and brick. Hollow walls need toggles or hollow wall anchors.
  • Hole size and depth. Drill with a carbide masonry bit of the size the anchor maker lists, and clean the dust out of the hole before setting.
  • Embedment and edge distance. Holding values depend on embedment depth and spacing from edges and other anchors. Follow the anchor maker's published data.
  • Load-rated work. For overhead, life-safety or structural loads, use the anchor and setting method the engineer of record specifies.
  • Environment. Use galvanized or stainless anchors outdoors and in damp areas.

Common questions

Can I remove a wedge anchor?

Wedge anchors are generally treated as permanent. Concrete screws are easier to remove, which makes them handy for temporary fixtures.

Browse threaded rod and studs, masonry drill bits, or all fasteners.
