- Choosing the Right Drill Bit
- Finding and Marking Your Drilling Spot
- Creating the Hole and Adding a Screw or Anchor
Drilling a hole in a wall may seem like a daunting task. Fortunately, this job is reasonably simple if you take a few basic precautions and use the right tools. Before you start, pick the appropriate bit for the type of wall you are drilling. You’ll also need to pick a good spot to drill your hole, away from any electrical wiring. Once you’re ready...
Use a drywall bit if the wall is sheetrock or plasterboard.
Before you start drilling, take a look at your wall and determine what it’s made of. If your wall is smooth and sounds hollow when you knock on it, it’s likely a form of drywall, such as sheetrock or plasterboard. For drilling a simple hole into this type of wall, a drywall bit is your best bet.
You can purchase drywall bits and other types of drill bits at most hardware or home improvement stores.
If you’re planning to hang something (such as a picture) on a hollow section of drywall, you might choose to drive in a drywall anchor using a power screwdriver for greater security.
If you’ll be drilling into a stud behind the drywall, opt for a wood drill bit.
Get a masonry bit if your wall is brick, stone, or concrete.
Avoid drilling above or below light switches and outlets.
Accidentally drilling into your electrical wiring can be a dangerous and costly mistake. You can help prevent mishaps by making sure not to drill directly above or below light switches, outlets, and other obvious electrical fixtures in your walls. If you locate a switch or outlet on an upper floor, try not to drill directly beneath it on the floor below.
You can also avoid accidents by using a wire detector.
A deep scan stud finder can also detect electrical wires and metal.
If you must drill near live wires, shut off the power to the area where you’ll be working beforehand.
If you’re drilling into a bathroom wall or another wall located near plumbing or a radiator, you may wish to consult a plumber first. They can help you avoid accidentally drilling into a pipe.
Use masking tape to mark the correct depth on your bit.
If you need your hole to be a particular depth (e.g., if you’re installing a screw or anchor of a certain length), measure off the appropriate length on your bit. Mark the depth by wrapping a thin strip of masking tape around the drill bit.
Some drills come with depth gauges to help you mark the appropriate depth.
If you’re putting in a screw or anchor, you’ll also need to choose a bit of the appropriate diameter.
If you’re not sure what size drill bit is appropriate or how deep your hole should be, consult the packaging that came with your screws or anchors to see if that information is included.
Put on safety goggles and a dust mask before you start drilling.
