How do they work ...

Gripr fixings operate using a clamping action behind the board, when you tighten them they twist and deform to create an evenly shaped knot which spreads the load and firmly clamps your fixture in place.

How do I fix them ...

Simply drill a 10mm hole with a clean HSS drill bit, take the screw out of the Gripr body and tap in so the fins under the head bite into the board, place the screw through your fixture and tighten. Be careful not to overtighten the Gripr, these are very strong high torque anchors and can easily crush the board, we recommend using a hand screwdriver rather than power drivers for the final stage of tightening.

What types are there ...

The colour coded Gripr series currently consists of Blue for single boards and Red for double boards, extension screws in 80mm and 90mm lengths are also available for thicker fixtures.
