[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 391548, member: 6969"] Where do they eventually come out? further down the wall on that "stepped in" bit? or into another space accessed from somewhere else? My guess is they did not intend them to pop out there. they were clearly drilling a hole down (or up) at a steep angle hoping to get from A to B and it broke out at that ledge. Since "clipped direct" is an acceptable installation method then I don't see an issue other than it doesn't look very nice. But I would not say it's dangerous. It's probably a good thing they did pop out though as you now know they are there and you won't drill a hole directly above or below them to fix a shelf to now will you? If they had just misses that ledge, they could be a few mm inside the wall and you would not know until you came to drill the hole for that shelf........ [/QUOTE]
