How do you hang a heavy clock on a plaster wall?
Drill a hole into the wall appropriate to the size of the screw anchors. Anchors work in drywall and brick or masonry walls. Tap the cone-shaped anchor in with a hammer carefully to prevent damage. Choose metal anchors instead of plastic for securing the clock to a masonry or brick wall.Click to see full answer….

Considering this, how much weight can a plaster wall hold?Your wall will be able to take as much weight as you can hang on it. Every 12″x12″ span of 1/2″ drywall can hold 40lb in pull out load, as if you were hanging from a ceiling. The other type of load is shear or pull down load. I do not know what this number is but it is much greater than 40lb.Secondly, how much weight can wall plugs hold? Toggles, anchors or molly bolts are surprisingly strong. A 1/8 toggle can hold 30 pounds on 1/2-inch drywall and a 3/8-inch toggle can handle a hefty 50 pounds or more safely. When applying any kind of drywall anchor, you should understand how they work and which screw anchor may work best to put into a hollow wall. Similarly, it is asked, how do you anchor into plaster walls? Lath and plaster walls can’t accept typical plastic anchors. Toggle or molly bolts are required. Be sure to use ones that are long enough to get behind the plaster and lath. Drilling a hole with a masonry bit will be required, more below on installing toggle and molly bolts.Can you put screws in plaster walls?Screws (and screws with masonry anchors for heavy items) are your best choice for hanging things on plaster walls without picture rail. For lighter items, simply screwing into the plaster with a 1 1/4” drywall screw is usually enough to get the job done.
