My product didn't come with screws for attaching it to a wall.

For safety reasons, please attach your IKEA product to a wall if instructed to do so by the assembly instructions. Wall anchoring screws are not included with products because you need different wall anchoring screws depending on the material and structure of the surface your product will be attached to.*

The page below explains some simple ways to check the structure of your wall and what material it is made of. It also explains how to choose the right screws for your wall.

  • I don't know how to adjust the torque of the FIXA screwdriver/drill.

    The torque can be set between 1 and 15, and the higher the number, the stronger the tightening force. In addition, since it has a stopper function, if the screw is jammed, it will spin idle and the screw head will not collapse.
