Question 1

Can someone please be more specific about how heavy a load each GeeFix anchor will hold?

Accepted Answer

There are 3 main types of load tests: shear, tensile and cantilever. The weight rating that you see on many wall anchors only refers to shear strength (hanging a picture on a wall). By contrast, many of the most popular uses of wall anchors - such as shelving or TV wall mounts - apply all three forces on the wall anchor. Because of the wide variation in the ways people use them, the engineers at GeeFix are more cautious than other manufacturers in claiming a certain weight capacity, but the bottom line for the GeeFix system is that it holds more than any other commercially available anchor system under all three load types. The most demanding test of a wall anchor is a cantilever load. If you go to our website at www.geefix.com, on our gallery page you can see comparison test to other common wall anchors and an image of one of our engineers sitting on a shelf with a cantilever of 12 inches (don't try this at home). The engineer weighs 194lbs. The shelf is fixed into 1/2 inch drywall plasterboard.  The shelf holds firm.

Question 2

Will this product work to anchor furniture to the wall, a dresser, if i dont know where the stud is? Thanks

Accepted Answer

Yes. It addressed 2 challenges I was having: no stud and difficulty getting alternatives (moly-bolts(?), expansion sleeves, ...) to work. Was driving me nuts. This product solved my problems. 2 minor issues: takes more real estate that alternatives; need to really pay attention to hole alignment. High.y recommend.

Question 3

Hi, will these also do just as well with single-stud wall mounts? Since the weight would be distributed to lesser of an area in the wall? Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Yes they should work fine.

Question 4

How is this installed?

Accepted Answer

Detailed instructions can be found at the manufacturer's website (http://www.geefix.com/instuctions).  The basic steps are:1.	Cut a 1" hole in your wall surface2.	Slide the back plate of the assembled GeeFix through the hole3.	Use the blue cord to align the screw holes of the back plate and wall plug4.	Drive in all three mounting screws, center screw firstOnce your GeeFix is installed, the center screw can be used to mount your item, or you can use your own mounting hardware in the center hole of the GeeFix.
