Anyone know where I can get a wall anchor like these:
Ideally a good value / reusable anchor.
Thanks.

You do know these are not very secure?
Could get that off the wall with a few blows from a club hammer.0 -
Must say that I do agree - looks a good design but the criminal part of me says just smack it off the wall.
Is it to go inside or outside?
Have a quick look on some motorbike sites for wall/ground anchors - will be overkill but coupled with a decent lock will do the job brilliantly.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

It is for inside a garage.
The issue with many is they require you to smash ball bearings into the bolts and hence can't be moved if I move house.
I am therefore looking at designs where the bolt is protected by the design (e.g. lock blocks access).Rich0 -
Do you move house often?
If not then it doesn't really matter. If so just do it anyway and leave iit in situ when you leave.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

I hope this doesn't appear sarky, but the whole point of a wall/floor anchor is that you can't move it at all once it's installed.0

(Imagine if a boat couldn't take its anchor!)
Move house every couple of years. So ideally don't want to but a, say, £40 anchor every 2 years.Rich0 -
Cast a standard wall/floor anchor into a sizable lump of concrete - say a 12-18" cube - then it's large enough that nobody will *want* to move it (or whatever is attached to it) but when it comes time to move you *can*0

I installed my wall anchor but didn't hammer the ball bearings into it. Not for when I move house specifically but what if I want to reorganise things to put a second bike in for example, and then it's impossible to shift?
It's about creating a deterrent and more issues to overcome rather than making it impossible.0
