Maybe not, though. If they're the old-fashioned black rubber kind with a screw and expander, you have to back the screw out a little, push the plugs in, then tighten the screw until they're secure. If the other kind won't go in easily, dip them in a little soapy water or give them a shot of hair spray, then slide them in before they dry. They'll hold once the liquid evaporates.
