What screws should I use for steel studs?

Pivoting brackets

You can attach Promenaid pivoting brackets to commercial-grade (heavy gauge) steel studs using the supplied screws. Attaching pivoting brackets to residential-grade steel studs is not recommended.

Sprocketlock brackets and bends

Use a 1/4″ toggle bolt to attach Sprocketlock brackets or bends to any type of steel stud. The bolt will be hidden by the final installation.

What screws should I use for brick or concrete?

Pivoting brackets

You can use 1/4″ flat head ‘Tapcon’ masonry screws (or equivalent) to attach Promenaid pivoting brackets to brick or concrete. They must be of sufficient length and they must be installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

For a more finished appearance, use the supplied dome-head screws with suitable anchors. We suggest lead anchors (also known as leadwood anchors) rated for #12 screws and at least 1-1/2″ long. Drill the hole for the anchor 2-1/2″ deep so that the screw may penetrate fully.

Sprocketlock brackets and bends

Use 1/4″ hex head ‘Tapcon’ masonry screws (or equivalent) to attach Promenaid Sprocketlock brackets or bends to brick or concrete. Alternatively, use 1/4″ wedge anchors or steel screws with lead anchors. Whichever fastener you use, it will be hidden in the final installation.

Please consult the How-to videos or download the Promenaid instructions for more information.
