So I was contacted recently by the inventor of the Geefix cavity fixing asking if I would take a look at it. I get a few such requests and tend to politely decline, but in this case there was something that really interested me in this product. I just thought it looked like a really great design.
Garry the inventor has 40 years experience as a plumbing and heating engineer and he's developed this fixing after years of installing radiators boilers, kitchen units.
In short, the length of the Geefix backplate at 120mm is longer and wider than any other fixing back plate I've ever used. You'd think this would be incredibly hard to insert into a wall, but that's the other thing - I found it really easy to fix into place - and amazingly it can be inserted into cavities as shallow as 30mm! You can fix the curved back plate either vertically or horizontally. The length of the backplate also means you can self tap additional fixing points into it for smaller items which often have fixings quite close together.
Different types of screws eg larger diameter coach and vine eye screws can be used to replace the centre fixing screw once the fixing has been installed.
Finally, Geefix is incredibly versatile, because it can also be used in plywood, hardboard, lath and plaster (and believe me, I've struggled with fixing into lath and plaster over the years!!) and other materials - all with standard screws not bolts.
So in short, this is the strongest plasterboard fixing I have encountered to date, and this would now be my first choice for heavy objects like radiators, towel rails, cupboards, mirrors, cycle racks and heavy curtains on curtain poles and tracks.

Charlie DIYte love the videos, very helpful. Would you receive the ux8 or the wall anchor to mount a 10kg mirror onto plasterboard?
@@martingalli2786 Hi Martin. The UX8 or Duopower 8x40 would work well as long as you got it to open up well behind the plasterboard. To be sure though the wall anchor would probably be safest.
Great video just the job for my new rads
Hello Charlie, Im thinking of putting an 11kg mirror on a stud all. I have radiator plastic pipes just behind this also. They should be slightly set back as it used to be an alcove in hall when we moved in. =The builders ran the radiator pipes in alcove then covered with Drywall. Its a bit of a risk but I really want this mirror there. Can you recommend the fixings and can I get away with short screws so they have less chance of piercing the tubes behind? Thanks if you get a chance to answer. Ill keep and eye out on your Chanel.
@@-Grifter Mate be very careful that soundss like a episode of some mothers do em waiting to happen
Watched this 2 years ago.... and today had to come back as I have a TV to move to a wall with insulated plasterboard - confident nothing else will work..... but remembered this vid. Ordered from Amazon... Thanks Charlie - again you've saved me from a DIY nightmare.
You're very welcome, and here's my new update video czcams.com/video/Jdu9RId7m90/video.html
Another great video Charlie. Thanks for showing us the range of fixings available and your opinion on them. I'll bear these in mind when the time comes.
Worked on site 30 years plus .
Thatâs the best Iâve ever seen by miles The thinking behind it is bang on Has a professional Iâm really impressed. Top video too
Cheers Paul - always good to get a thumbs up from a pro!! Yep, fixings are pretty fundamental for us in the curtain install industry and I still think this is the strongest plasterboard fixing out there. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
@@CharlieDIYte Look up snaptoggles if you haven't seen them.
This is impressive too. czcams.com/video/7NCeDpdfTrg/video.html
First time used I didn't follow the steps and forgot to put the red string through the circle part..second time it worked a dream.sorry for the confusion. Have bought some more for the rest of the house. Thank you.
Wow! I sure love how well this video was done Charlie, thank you so much! So very thorough with great commentary and and an all around excellent video capturing not only the quality, benefits and strength of this product but also relaying how it is so remarkably different! For DIY'ers everywhere, THANK YOU!
Hi Allison. Thanks so much for your wonderful comment. You guys don't know how valuable your heart felt comments are in terms of keeping me motivated to produce this content. Really chuffed you enjoyed the video and I'm doing a plasterboard fixings update in November so keep your eye out for that đ
Thoroughly enjoyed that video and very intuitive. I do all the DIY at home and whilst not a proffessional, videos like this really do help. Awesome thank you.
I uses these to put up some 600mm kitchen cabinets. Brilliant fittings and so easy to use
They're awesome aren't they Keith. Saved the day on a curtain fitting where the lath and plaster wall crumbled away.
Now that I like, Iâll search them out and give them a go đ
That is a very impressive piece of kit. Great video by the way showing everything thatâs required to use what looks like a go to product.
These and corefix have made fixing things to my walls a piece of cake. Cheers!
Gee whizz. Looks very strong and agree with others that smaller versions for lighter loads would be a great idea.
Top video Charlie
Thanks mate!
While he was drilling i kept thinking my foods ready in the microwave loool!
Great videos thank you!
I've just moved into a modern house with dot and dab walls, I'll be giving these a trial as they look great. I'm a maintenance engineer, and hate plaster board walls as I often have to fix heavy items to them. This looks like a great solution. The cost is almost irrelevant, to have fixings pull out of a plaster board wall causes a whole new troublesome job to rectify.

Just installed two GeeFix hangers to repair a shower curtain installation that had slumped/almost torn loose. These work as advertised and shown in your video. Thank you for bringing this product to our attention. Terry, Santa Maria, CA, USA
Been doing this for years with bits of wood. Hold with fingers. Also works for patching plasterboard holes. Cut square and patch. đđ»
I always tie a string to the wood... really easy to adjust
Yep, I remember first seeing my Dad doing this with strips of wood and string more than 50 years ago.
I'm looking for those now!!
There are links in the Description at the end of the video đ
Thanks Charlie, I bought these based on your recommendation to hang a very heavy (12kg) 1m round mirror on a plaster board wall- don't know exact thickness. It has worked a treat and the mirror is still up a month later and not movement detected. I couldn't stop the back plate spinning round when I was screwing in the plug, despite holding tightly to the strings (got cramp!) so took the string out amd luckily waa able to use the central screw to spin the back plate back to realign the holes. The other one rotated too but was easier the 2nd time. It still only took me 10 minutes and has done the job so I am very pleased.
Have you seen these what is the current most popular fixings amongst builders and construction workers,

I just fit a double Ikea Pax wardrobe and had been searching for ages to find best way to secure it from falling onto my toddler and this has sorted me right out! I was always fearful of having to fix into plasterboard, especially where I absolutely don't want it to fail and this is just magic. Thank you!
You're welcome Jonathan. Thanks for the comment!
better to find the timber uprights if there are any they will be at 400 centres, then fix to that instead. or you can cut a hole in the plasterboard and fix a timber between the uprights to screw into then put battens on the underside of the plasterboard and fix the piece you cut out back in. failing this you can just use these device and put gripfill on the back of the wardrobe, or, drill a big hole enough to get a long length of batten through the hole and hold it on the other side with your fingers then fix it with lots of screws
Thank You, Sir
Brilliant, just what I have been waiting for.đ
These look brilliant. Iâve just ordered some. Your videos are really helping me since weâve moved house and found there are more jobs to do than we thought. Youâre a life saver Charlie. đđ
I'm so chuffed to hear that - thanks for letting me know đ. I'm planning a plaster board fixings update vid in a couple of weeks so watch this space.
Brilliant! Told me (a DIY novice) exactly what I needed to learn. Thanks
I like it so much. Thanks Charlie
This an awesome anchor.
this is better. .easier to fit in only a 18mm hole rather than 30mm hole. .also not ÂŁ2, only 50p czcams.com/video/7NCeDpdfTrg/video.html
Super upload. Very informative. Hadnât t heard of this product until this upload.
Cheers Charlie.
Another top quality video Charlie - keep them coming and keep them relevant (as they always have been on your channel).
@Charlie DIYte How about spring toggle? Are there relatively good? What is one the second position after GeeFix? That's very interesting to me. Thank you!
I often do a similar thing using a thin strip of wood or ply,pre-drilled, & short bit of string to pull, & shove-through a hole or slot in the plasterboard, then screw on,with bracket pre-attached.
Or better still, if you can, use a magnet to see exactly where your nails/screws,are,, therefore your timber/metal studs are, & fix solidly into them.
Yeah agreed with the magnet. .I do the same. .but a much more smart fixing is the Bullfix plasterboard fixing czcams.com/video/7NCeDpdfTrg/video.html
Just used theses today after watching your video on them. I now have a heavy wall unit firmly fixed to my plasterboard wall.. seriously secure. Thanks đđ
Good work Frank. They're awesome aren't they!!
love your videos mate , bought a box of these, and other stuff you test out,i am a plumber working for yorkshire council,i was renovating houses,during the 1980`s when government grants were available , i used to teach in college ,the zap a tap, is one of my favourite tools, thank you for everything you do, TOP MAN !
Hi Karl, good to hear from you and thanks for the comment! That's an interesting story, and I didn't know about the Zap a tap - might have to get one of those, although I have diverging similar with a spring claw instead of the tapered design. They must have been fun times, renovating. Wish I had done something similar, living in SE London in the naughties. đ
Great idea.
No reason why it can't be scaled down to a half size version for lower loads.
I was talking to a fitter who works with me on the day job and he said exactly the same thing yesterday!
Charlie DIYte A small version would also be easier to insert when the gap between the wall and the plasterboard is significantly smaller than 30 mm.
Snap toggles are what you need. I've been using them for years, and have the advantage that the fixing is by a standard thread machine screw.@@ianmathieson65
I think they're working on this, and also trade packs will be coming out soon apparently.
Charlie DIYte sure he did.
Been making something similar for heavier light fittings for years from a cutting of timber or doubled up trunking lid and copper wire
That's exactly what it is copied from !! its a very old method. But the bend in the plastic back bends the plasterboard and warps it after its been there for a week!
I use these, much better. czcams.com/video/mCt7_j8n-Yw/video.html
@@markhowe5539
Cheers, those Bullfix Plasterboard fixings look much better design wise and durability longevity wise. I'll be hanging up expensive heavy duty 6kg on wall speakers so I'll be going with the Bullfix Plasterboard fixings for peace of mind it won't bend warp the plasterboard.
This is exactly the kind of product I've been looking for. Only wish they were more widely available. Thanks for the vid!
I was sceptical up to the point when you put the two holding screws in. These are incredible and deserve to be universally used. Another great video! Keep them coming.
Looking at this I can do the same thing with a pice of timber with two holes, a bit of string and some drywall screws, it's been well thought out though.
I regularly patch repair plaster board ceilings using a timber batten and fixing original cut out back. Makes sense I could do this on a stud wall and create fixings where required. Would need some easy fill to cover up though đ will definately give these fixings a go.
Excellent review Charlie. I like your methodical approach to demonstration and you have built a useful body of work of reference for professional and DIY alike. These plastic doohickeys look just the job for plasterboard walls with a cavity (as opposed to dot and dab) and the price while high (which judging by some of the comments from professionals may put them off), should not deter the DIY who just wants an effective job completed confidently and can relish in the perspective of not having to find and then pay a professional to do it. If I had these sorts of walls I would use them.
Used these today (after watching this video) to hang a heavy metal mirror. Worked a dream. Very pleased with the process and the result. Thanks for the heads-up.
heavy mirrors, the professionals use these fixings czcams.com/video/7NCeDpdfTrg/video.html
Excellent video, thanks for trying out and sharing. Will definitely use son eof these in upcoming projects.
Wish you put weights on it to show the failing forces required. Do that against all the others in a controlled setting. Would love that video.
Keep up the great work
Look up the handyman on you tube he does a video toggles are around 300 lbs I think it was
@@sbmorris2k6 387 lbs. More than a Gee Fix which is directly compared in the same video.
What about the zip fix where you snap off the excess plastic guides once fitted. Always worked best for me đ
yes these are what I use for mounting heavy loads, come in different sizes up to 3/8 bolt.
THANK GOD!!!!! I came across your video... I was running into blanks worrying about how to hang my 3 radiators (double thickness = heavy) on my drywall upstairs... this has LITERALLY saved me ÂŁÂŁÂŁÂŁ in not needing to get the walls ripped open to re-brace the studs for the radiator placements. thank you, keep up the great work!
Yes, these will be great for that. An awesome fixing that has got me out of trouble on more than one occasion! Thanks for the comment!
Very helpful video. I'm about to attach various things to plasterboard throughout my house and your videos have been invaluable. I'm now a subscriber!
In the US we have "Snaptoggle" BA from Toggler. The heavy duty version 3/16" can hold up to 238lbs in 1/2" drywall and up to 802lbs in concrete block. They are easier to install and reusable. No need for 2 holding screws and a string like this design. Maybe a comparison between this two anchors would be very interesting. Cheers
May be we in the UK can get it after Brexit with the UK/USA trade deal.
Have Snaptoggles in UK too. I use all the time. I dont like the 25mm hole on this one
As to the Gripit fixings, they're actually a blessing when you have the plasterboard within just a few millimetres of the wall or lintel. Which begs the question: how much clearance do you need , for this fixing, between plasterboard and backing?
My advise, get a a hammer drill, a concrete drill bit and drill through the lintel. Use a plastic wall plug suitable for concrete / solid walls and problem fixed. This way the fixing will be solid AF.
If it's a metal lintel, then use a metal drill bit with the diameter smaller than the screw thread size and put the screw straight through. Problem solved.
Pro tip: Don't tight the screw too hard, as it will push the plasterboard towards the lintel and it will create a dip on the surface.
He literally says in the video that you need 30mm for this fixing between plasterboard and backing.
@@arcadely He literally does nothing of the sort.
@@LordOfLight You must be trolling. What do you call 8:14 - 8:26? He both describes and demonstrates the clearance needed for the fixing. Did none of you actually watch the video?
@@arcadely No I'm not trolling, and yes he describes the clearance for the fixing he's demonstrating at that moment; but not for the GRIPIT fixings that the original comment was about.
Don't disappoint me now: under no circumstances admit you're in error and instead claim your mistake is all my fault. I'm looking forward to it.
Charlie, you just saved me a lot of heartache trying to fix a drywall fixit problem. I just ordered a 8 pack of geefix. Thank you!!
Glad to hear it. These things are very clever. I was doing a soft furnishings project in Barra and the wall was old lath and plaster - just crumbled away with the fixings we were using so as a last resort I used one of these. Gripfilled the gap, filled with Easi-fill the next morning and the fixing was as strong as if we had anchored into the wall behind.
What a great product & equally a great product review Charlie I'm a handyman in a hospital & the Grip it is definitely the answer to all my prayers I'll be getting our storeman to order a few packs of those immediately!! Thanks again Charlie
Plasterboard needs to be replaced with something better. I can't understand how it's lasted so long.
Ingenious fixing method
It is very cheap. Something better will be way more costly.
Cheap and FLAT
High end new builds use Plasterboard over OSB. Couldn't figure out why in my Father In Law's place and then he said it was to aid hanging of wall items.
what about these ?czcams.com/video/7NCeDpdfTrg/video.html
If that was me fitting it, The first screw would pierce the blue cord ;)
Just stumbled onto your video and GOD BLESS YOU, this is exactly what I need for a wall decoration that my wife brought home. I stopped in the middle of that project while trying to find the best way to hang the heavy rack. Thanks very much. I will definitely subscribe, like and ring the bell. You saved the day for me.
Really glad you found the vid useful, and massive thanks for the sub! Drop me a line if you have any other fixing conundrums đ
i'm literally stunned by this product!!!! truly amazing tool
not as good as these at 50p instead of ÂŁ2! And these dont warp the wall after a week . .czcams.com/video/7NCeDpdfTrg/video.html
always place it vertically. gravity points down so torque is applied on the horizontal axis. unless you have mainly side loads.
That was my logic also until I saw this video czcams.com/video/lHb-Tcvkn7M/video.html clearly showing this anchor performing better when at a 90° angle to the load.
(4:00 )Why are you using a Phillips bit on a Pozidriv screw?
That's why it keeps camming out.
And why didn't you mention the Fischer Self-Drill Plasterboard Fixings?
These are superb. I use them all the time and have never had a problem with them even with quite heavy loads.
Phillips / pozidrive miss use triggers me to no extent, Working in a workshop when i see broken pozidrive drivers and tips, or rounded phillips drivers it bothers me to the furthermost extents of reasonable irritation.
@@another1commenter770 I know. And this dude is meant to be setting an example....
.
I used them recently for traverse rods and well, I have very brittle plasterboard or they are really not that good.
Great vid, plus thanks for the tip on Duoplugs, best general purpose plug I've ever used.
Excellent demonstration of a great product. Thanks.
I just had to check out this video to see who in 2019 is calling dry-wall plasterboard.. but then i heard the UK accent and it all made sense.
lol, drywall in the US and Plasterboard in the UK. ..check these Drywall fixings. czcams.com/video/7NCeDpdfTrg/video.html
FFS can you at least use the correct screwdriver bit for the screws !
the fixing looks good though , done this with plywood many times
Great product and of course brilliant video Charlie,I use the wall anchors and toggle bolts most of the time but I think the next time I'm fitting a heavy item to the wall I'll be using this product,once again a great step by step informative video,look forward to your next one đ
Omg Iâll certainly be buying some of those for my new build thank you so much đđ
Same
Charlie have you never heard or the thorsmann plaster board spring toggle fixing. I am a professional installer in an A/V capacity and we hang 25-30 kilo speakers out of two of them. There expensive at around 80p each they come in a box of 25. You can use them in single double or triple plaster boards
www.cef.co.uk/catalogue/categories/tools-fixings-spring-toggles
Scroll down to the third one on the page. These are the only fixings you will ever use.
Thanks for this Philip. Is this the one you mean, in operation czcams.com/video/NsICJ2U0YfU/video.html That is a bit impressive!
Charlie DIYte Yes Charlie thatâs the only. They come in 2 sizes. We always use the larger ones. Drill a 13 mill hole then you push the toggle true the hole it will open and pull tight with the spring. job done. Your left with the bolt and the head of the toggle.
Charlie DIYte Charlie are you going to do a video with these fixings.
Biggest issue Iâd have is when my wife wants things on the wall moved around, thereâd be a whole new task filling those holes to patch them.
You know where to put the filler from now on đ€đ€Ł
Tell your wife, firmly, âNoâ đ
Love the banter guys! Thing is, this is for heavy stuff, and whatever heavy duty fixing you use you're going to have reasonably large holes to fill. Just get it in the right place first time and get her to sign a document in writing evidencing that she fully agreed with the position before you drilled đ€Ł
At worst you could possibly tighten it up more to drag it just below the surface of the plasterboard then skim over it with filler.
@@CharlieDIYte We should contact a lawer for legal agreement :D
Once again Charlie another great video and a product to keep in mind. It is a credit to your channel that you are getting requests to review new products. I also want to congratulate you on the fact you declare you are not being paid but did receive the packs for free. Looking forward to the next video.

Thanks Michael!
I have always HATED fixing to plasterboard because of my many failures, but this product looks great. I'm now looking forward to the next opportunity to hang something from the wall. Excellent video too. Thanks.
Thanks Mark. It's the strongest out there in my opinion.
Plasterboard is the work of the devil. Give me proper masonry walls with real plaster built up in layers any day. Can't stand the modern way of even using plasterboard on solid, outside walls- cheap I know, but inferior in every way.
Cost is king these days, it's the way 40% of homes are built these days. So if you have to use a plasterboard fixing, then use the strongest on the market. Bullfix Plasterboard beats Geefix in real life situations.
Fix? In the states fixing Sheetrock means repairing. Lol
Please someone tell him that
In the UK these are called fixings. You can tell this is UK dialect because he says âplasterboardâ and not âsheetrockâ.
I wish Iâd written that.
I was so glad to find this video. Iâm installing shelving in my garage that need support from the ceiling but the studs are 64 cm apart (25 inches). So, Iâm going to use these in between the studs to add additional support. Fortunately, I was able to find them here in the United States for a cost of $15 (approximately ÂŁ12). It will be a week or so before I get them but Iâm looking forward to reinforcing the ceiling above the shelving.
Thank you for a great product review and the why you give it such high marks.
Excellent video Charlie! I used these Geefix fittings because of your recommendation to put up a couple of floating shelves and they do an absolutely marvellous job. Also thanks for the tip off about core fix fittings in one of your other videos đ
Glad to hear they did the job. They're awesome aren't they. Corefix are also fantastic where you have the wall behind to anchor into, so with those two your set up đđ»
first time for me to see this fitting so i will give it a go thanks nice clear instructions on your video
Brilliant product as well as the video, hope to see you on mainstream TV in the near future, your presentation is brillinat
Just moved in to my new build house and tried to put up some fairly heavy curtains with the standard plugs and screws that came in the box.... FAIL!! As a first time home owner I am new to DIY and wanted to try and do things myself to learn rather than get someone else to do it. I was really disheartened when it didn't work and the fixings started to fall out but having looked into it I now see that i need some kind of anchor for the plasterboard. This video (and on elf the others I watched) has been so useful and has given me the confidence to try again now with the right fixings as I was about to throw the towel in and get a pro over to do things moving forwards. Big thanks; big help!!!
Going to try mine on a lath and plaster wall looks promising thanks for sharing
Excellent video as ever, helped me loads. , keep up the great work mate.
Charlie, 10 out of 10 video amazing product now itâs justly buy some .
Many thanks .
Great video and a nice bit of kit. Definitely going to give them a go.
You convinced me, Iâve been looking at a way to hang a heavy 6â mirror! Just ordered.
50450720 ditto
Thank you so much for awesome video about fix.. seems like GeeFix is gold medal winner....
ÂŁ2 each, not really. 50p can buy you this and it would not warp the wall and only needs a 18mm hole as opposed to 30mm! czcams.com/video/7NCeDpdfTrg/video.html
That looks fantastic this is just what I have been looking for . Thank you .đđ»đđ»đđ»
Thanks Alan. Got to say, I was really impressed!!
Very very useful!!
This deserves BIG success!
Well done!
Thanks Chris! I've got to say, I was seriously impressed!
Just ordered some off amazon. Thanks for the vid and the info. Brilliant đ
try these too czcams.com/video/7NCeDpdfTrg/video.html
BLODDY GOOD. This is awesome. Just placed my order for 8.
Another very helpful video. Many thanks for this.
Charlie's videos are super helpful
Donât know how i caught this video as I was looking at my golf subscriptions but I am glad I did, what a brilliant product I wish I had them when I put up my curtain rails. The price is well worth it to get it right the first time and I will be getting a couple of packets for future jobs.
Charlie, thanks for your excellent review of what is very clearly a superb product. The designer is to be congratulated for attention to every detail in the design - a philosophy Iâve long subscribed to when designing products which must work first time âstraight off the drawing boardâ. As Iâve suggested elsewhere in replies to your review, a smaller version would be good when the gap between the wall and the plasterboard is significantly less than 30 mm, albeit with some reduction in load capability.
Re price, as always its a case of âyou get what you pay forâ. Cheap and cheerful for less demanding applications or higher price for the ultimate performance, and everything in between.
You have no idea how provident it was that you posted this video when you did. This product will solve a nasty problem for me! Thank you!
Charlie, as soon as I saw your video I ordered a pack Amazon next day delivery, used it to fix a drooping clothes hanger on a hollow core door which has been annoying (my wife) for years. It really is an excellent product. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
I did too, but then the plasterboard warped to the curve of the fixing, so ent onto these, much better czcams.com/video/7NCeDpdfTrg/video.html
Very interestiing. Your analysis sounds objective & sincere to me.
Fantastic video, Charlie. Thank you đđ»
Nice demonstration Charlie. Iâve just used the toggle ones for a curtain pole as the plasterboard turned out to be double thickness and grip it wouldnât go through. The last bracket position didnât have sufficient cavity behind which I only discovered after Iâd drilled the 25mm hole! Typical eh! I concreted it up and used a rawl plug which did the trick. These look fantastic. Will be ordering a packet. Many thanks.
Wow amazing, for my home stuff and big stuff we buy at time's, this is good and well worth the money when it comes to safety. I will be getting me some
Excellent fixture, looks very strong reliable and repeatable
chippie for 50 years, and still learning, thank you
And probably damn good at your job, with that attitude!
About time somebody has come up with a reasonable method of fixing to plasterboard I have to replace my curtain rail fixing 4/5 times over the last 20 yrs I will be definitely trying these out.Great tip Charlie
For curtain rails try the captive expanding screws. Or enter the arms race and use 10x50/60 plugs and 6mm screws. Small screws are useless.
So simple but so good. Love it
