Hanging Pegs Without Hitting Studs

The Problem

If you don't hit a stud these type of hangers just don't work with Sheetrock. In my project; my pegs were about 4" apart and I hung 9 of them. Only one hit a stud.

The Solution.

Get these type of wall anchors. I prefer the type without the point on the end. Open ended ones - like the ones shown, allow you to use longer screws.

Thread the peg onto the anchor.

Thread until it becomes flush.

Use pliers if necessary.

Go back to your same hole where you didn't hit a stud.

Screw the peg anchor combination into the hole.

Thread it all the way until it becomes tight against the wall.

Check that the peg is tight against the wall. And your done.
