Anchors are fastening products used to secure objects to walls, ceilings, and other structures. There are many different styles of anchors, including wedge anchors, sleeve anchors, expansion anchors, and more. Each anchor style is designed for specific substrates and applications, including fastening to concrete, stone, and other surfaces. In addition to standard anchor styles, specialty anchors are available for unique applications, including chemical anchors for corrosive environments and seismic anchors for earthquake-prone regions.
Anchors are essential fasteners in many industries. Anchors are used extensively in construction and engineering applications, providing reliable and long-lasting fastening connections in buildings and infrastructure. At Rio Fasteners, we distribute a wide selection of premium anchors in multiple styles and materials. Not sure which anchoring products you need for your application?

Anchors come in many styles with different features for various applications. Common types of anchors include:
Wedge Anchors: Wedge anchors are heavy-duty anchors that feature a threaded stud with a cone-shaped end, and a metal clip that expands as the anchor is tightened. They are typically used in concrete and masonry applications to create a strong bond between the anchor and substrate.
Drop-In Anchors: Drop-in anchors are expansion anchors commonly used in concrete applications. They consist of a sleeve, a setting tool, and a threaded stud inserted into the sleeve. Unlike many other anchor styles, drop-in anchors can be removed after installation, making them ideal for non-permanent or mobile applications.
Sleeve Anchors: Sleeve anchors are characterized by a sleeve that expands when a bolt or screw is tightened, providing a tight grip on the fastened material. They are commonly used in masonry and concrete applications.
Toggle Bolts: Toggle bolts consist of a bolt with spring-loaded wings that open up behind the wall when the bolt is inserted, providing a secure connection. They are commonly used for hollow wall applications.
Chemical Anchors: Chemical anchors utilize a chemical adhesive to create a strong bond between the anchor and its installed material. They are commonly used in corrosive environments where traditional anchors may deteriorate or fail.
