Troubleshooting
Plug spins when the screw is tightened.
Ensure the hole is the correct size (8mm) and that the anti-rotation fins are properly engaged. If the problem persists, try a different screw or a different plug.
Plug does not hold the screw securely.
Make sure you've used the correct screw size. If the hole is too large, consider using a longer screw or a different type of wall plug.
Plug won't go into the hole.
Make sure the hole is clean from debris. If the hole is too small, carefully enlarge the hole with a drill bit.
