how to......
Drilling holes in walls is a common task for many DIY jobs. Often DIY beginners are advised to steer clear of power tools but in the case of drills, power tools are a big improvement on hand drills. As long as you are careful a power drill, particularly a cordless drill, is convenient and can make the drilling process much easier.
Drilling Holes in Stud Partition Walls
With stud partitions you should either drill into a stud with a wood drill bit (not a masonry bit) or use one of the many proprietary hollow wall fi xings that are available from DIY stores. These have a variety of mechanical methods of spreading out behind the plasterboard which spreads the load and prevents the fi xing from coming out. Even with these fi xings a wood drill bit will be better than a masonry bit for drilling the whole as a masonry bit is likely to tear the plasterboard.
But be careful as these hollow wall fi xings cannot take heavy loads so it’s best to drill into a stud for anything other than hanging a picture or mirror.
