Troubleshooting
Strap slips or won't hold adjustment.
Ensure the strap material is securely sewn or fastened to the buckle after threading. Check that the strap width does not exceed the buckle's 30mm capacity and that the material is not too slippery.
Movable bridge is stiff or difficult to slide.
Check for any fabric or debris caught in the bridge mechanism. Gently clean the area and ensure the strap is threaded correctly without excess bulk.
Buckle appears discolored or tarnished.
