DEWALT 02316-PWR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to pre-drill a hole for the DEWALT Wall Dog anchor?
No pre-drill and no hole spotting. The Wall Dog installs directly through the fixture into wallboard in one step, so you hold the fixture where you want it and drive the anchor through the mounting hole. That is the whole point of the design compared to a toggle, which needs a drilled hole sized to the wings.
2) Will the Wall Dog hold if it hits a wood stud or thin metal behind the drywall?
Yes. The point is heat treated so it penetrates wood studs and thin metal rather than deflecting or stalling at the stud face, and the thread form resists spinning and stripping in softer base material. So you can run a row of them across a wall without mapping stud locations first.
3) Is a Wall Dog the right anchor for hanging something heavy on drywall?
No. The Wall Dog is rated for light duty anchoring, so it is the wrong choice for a heavy cabinet, a grab bar or a large monitor mount. For those loads go to a toggle bolt, a heavy duty self-drilling anchor, or fasten directly into framing with a structural screw. Use the Wall Dog where speed and a clean removal matter more than load capacity.
4) What length is the DEWALT 02316-PWR Wall Dog and how much material will it grab?
The 02316-PWR is a 1-1/4 inch fastener. That length covers standard 1/2 inch wallboard with room for the fixture bracket and still leaves thread engaged in the wall, so it suits light duty anchoring of items like plates, brackets and small fixtures. For heavier loads or thick multi-layer walls you want a longer anchor.
5) What head style is the 02316-PWR Wall Dog, and does that matter for mounting a fixture flat?
It is a pan head. A pan head sits on top of the surface with a broad flat bearing face, so it clamps a bracket or plate down rather than pulling into a countersunk hole. If your fixture has a countersunk mounting hole and you need the head flush, choose a flat head Wall Dog instead, since the line is offered in several finished head styles.
6) If I take a Wall Dog out later, how big a hole am I patching?
Removal leaves a much smaller hole than a toggle or similar winged system, so a repair is a dab of compound rather than a drywall patch. That is worth knowing for property managers who reposition signage, TV brackets or fixtures between tenants.
7) Is the DEWALT Wall Dog corrosion resistant enough for a damp interior location?
The Wall Dog is zinc through and through, zinc primary material with a zinc finish, which gives ordinary indoor corrosion protection. It handles typical conditioned interiors and utility rooms. For exposed exterior or wash-down areas, spec a stainless or heavier coated anchor instead.
8) How many DEWALT 02316-PWR Wall Dogs come in a box?
The 02316-PWR is packed 100 per box, which is the working quantity for a punch list or a repeat install like mounting device plates, conduit straps or small brackets across a building. Each anchor weighs about 0.008 lbs.
9) Can Wall Dogs be used in base materials other than drywall?
Yes, the anchor is made to install in a variety of base materials, not just gypsum wallboard, and the heat treated point lets it bite wood studs and thin metal as well. Same driving method in each case, through the fixture and into the wall.
