I've re-secured frame fixing type wall plug with a chemical fixing resin before. I removed the plug, injected the resin and then put a new plug in. They haven't budged since. This was for a banister rail.
That sounds like the answer.....use wall plug and the screws with thicker diameter shaft instead of concrete screw. Glue the wall plugs into the wall with the chemical resin......presumably wait for the resin to set before tightening the screw into the wall plug.
Interesting experiment! I would be skeptical about relying on this for a purely tensile load (esp hanging stuff vertically) but as apart from the need to pinch the frame in to plumb (tensile) the main force you are concerned about is probably shear (I.e the frame neither falling out or being forced out easily) and as long as the substrate doesn’t fail then it looks a good option to me. I’m no engineer BTW just my 2p
I would love to see you testing and the old way by hammering in some hardwood . And drill a smaller hole in the resin would be a good idea. Please keep the great videos coming
Hey mate- I used lead anchors after wallowing out some holes I oversized and screwed up. They held fast and strong. Just a suggestion. Nice to see I you recover! Give'em hell. Graham-Orlando
Ive found its worth spending on branded frame fixings, stuggled with most, but then tried fischer SXRL. And not had any issue with snapping, bending or stripping....the design of the plug is a bit different.
My suspicion was yes, this stuff is brilliant. Did you prepare the hole properly with a pump and brush to clear the debris? You'll risk lower adhesion without 👍🏻
Me thinks that two of them holes weren’t cleaned out fully or filled fully. Have used chemfix for so many jobs and it’s amazing stuff, will certainly do what your intending for your Lathams door( if holes cleaned and filled fully). Bon chance. Ps, what’s with the hair 😂
Haha I do actually have hair 😂 The middle one wasn't filled at all 😬 I purposefully didn't clean out the holes to see what happened for a worse case scenario, I think in general though I'd rather drill them out wider when doing this kind of thing
That's an idea although I think there's at least 4 I couldn't because of the extra security bolts, they need to sit in a recess. Although I don't really need the extra security as it goes
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT I suppose you could do try your Chemfix repair first, any that don’t take, drill out and try again. I did also think, you could drill the holes out and use m10 concrete bolts (thunderbolts) as they need a 10mm hole and have a more corse thread, as long as you can fit a 17mm socket into the recesses in the frame.

Ahaa that's good to know 👍

Now I want to test it's pull out strength properly 😂

Oh I never knew that was a thing

That's useful to know 👍

I didn't for the test and it still worked OK. I would for a real world application though. I've got my fancy purple blower thing haven't I 😁
The chemical composition will almost certainly be stronger than the sub-straight you are fixing into.... that said, correct application is key.
Yeah correct application like actually getting it in the hole rather than a tiny bit at the top 😂
After the resin hardens, try the concrete screw with out drilling first.
Surely the girth is too big for that to work 🤔 although the smaller ones might
If you have chem fixing resin, you should have used studding with nuts and washers
That's a good option 👍

If you’re gona drill them out anyway.. just chemfix an m8 rod and bolt them in? Do it in situ..
