A wall anchor uses splines on an interior surface of a cylindrical body to accommodate fasteners having different thread diameters. The splines are configured in types. A first type includes at least one spline protruding centrally at a narrow angle, while a second type also includes at least one spline protruding centrally at a wider angle. When a fastener, such as a #6 or #8 sheet metal screw (SMS), is inserted into the wall anchor, the first type of spline will primarily engage the #6 SMS, while the second type of splines are only partially implemented. When a #8 SMS, which has a larger thread diameter than a #6 SMS, is inserted into the wall anchor, both the first and second types of splines are engaged to facilitate retention of the SMS.
