Hi all, I'm trying to find the right screw to attach my speaker to a speaker stand. I have the details (see image) but at the nearby hardware store they are pretty useless. First they gave me one screw (M5 I believe) which is too small. Then another one (M6 I believe) which is slightly too big...

I live in a 2018 built house. As such, the internal partition walls are all constructed from Metal Studs (looks to be GypFrame C Studs), which seems to be the "new way" of doing things. I am looking to put a TV up on the living room wall. Having considered all the options (plasterboard...

A few years back I got some radiator covers to hide unsightly radiators in my house. They are MDF, look great and I can live with any impact they have on radiator efficiency. However, they were fitted to the wall with MDF blocks cut to hook into recesses under the top shelf. These blocks...

Hi guys I have recently moved into a new build property and I have wall mounted a TV on to an internal stud wall in the kitchen/diner. I want to hide the cables behind the wall if possible but I am stuck when it comes to the power cables. The reading I have done seems to have conflicting views...

Hi everyone, I am planning on mounting my punching bag on a brick wall. I've got everything except for the wall plugs for the bolt screws. I've attached an image of the bolt screw. The following are its dimensions: Length with head: 5.65 cm Length without head: 5.15 cm Diameter: 7.5 mm Can...

Hello all, I hope this is the appropriate forum for this - I was hoping someone would be able to offer me some advice. I have very recently moved into a flat in which the bathroom has one smallish window above the sink, with no mirror anywhere or, really a reasonable surface to put one. The...
