Hammer & Frame Fixings

Drive-in fixings that require no pre-drilled plug and no separate wall anchor are among the fastest ways to make a secure fixing in masonry. At the DIY Hardware Store, our hammer and frame fixings range covers the hardened steel nails and combined anchor systems that are driven directly into brick, mortar, concrete, or through timber frames into masonry behind, without the intermediate step of inserting a separate wall plug.

Masonry nails are the simplest type - hardened steel cut nails that can be driven into soft masonry and mortar joints directly with a club hammer. Frame fixing nails are longer, used to pin timber battens and frames to brick walls through a clearance hole in the timber. Hammer-in anchors combine a plastic sleeve and steel pin that are driven simultaneously into a pre-drilled hole, expanding the sleeve against the masonry in a single hammer stroke. All are faster to install than traditional plug-and-screw methods for the applications they're suited to.
