"Anchors are essential hardware items used to secure objects to walls, and there are a wide variety of anchor types available for use in different wall materials. One common type of anchor is the drywall anchor, which is specifically designed for use in drywall or gypsum board walls. A drywall anchor is a small plastic device that is inserted into a small hole in the drywall. The anchor expands as a screw is threaded into it, creating a secure anchor point for hanging objects. When selecting wall anchors and screws for drywall, it's important to choose the right type of anchor for the weight of the object being hung. For heavier items, heavy duty drywall anchors or sheetrock anchors are recommended. These anchors are designed to hold more weight and are made of stronger materials. Drywall anchors are generally divided into different types of anchors, such as: drywall anchors, self-drilling drywall anchors, and drywall hollow wall anchors. Butterfly anchors are another type of anchor that can be used in drywall. When installing a wall anchor for a leaning mirror or other heavy object, it's important to use a heavy duty wall anchor and screws. Regardless of the type of anchor used, it's important to follow proper installation procedures to ensure a secure hold. This may include drilling a pilot hole, using a drill bit appropriate for the size of the anchor, and ensuring the anchor is inserted fully into the wall. In summary, wall anchors and screws are important hardware items for securing objects to walls."
