When installed correctly, GHOSTUD® anchors can support significant weight depending on the model and drywall condition.

Most installations only require basic tools such as a drill, screwdriver, and a level depending on the item you are mounting. You will need either a 1" hole saw (GS1) or a 2" hole saw (GS2) to mount.

Traditional drywall anchors concentrate pressure in a small area of drywall, which can cause them to loosen or pull out over time. GHOSTUD® distributes weight across a larger surface area, creating a much stronger and more reliable mounting point.

GHOSTUD® anchors are manufactured from 100 percent recycled plastic, creating a strong, durable anchor while supporting environmentally responsible manufacturing.
