Troubleshooting

Screw is difficult to drive in.

Ensure the pilot hole is the correct size (6mm) and depth. Consider using a lubricant if the material is particularly hard.

Screw is not holding firmly.

Check the material compatibility. Ensure the screw is long enough to provide adequate grip. Check if the screw is over-tightened.

Screw head is stripping.

Use the correct screwdriver or drill bit size. Apply steady pressure while driving the screw. If the screw head is stripped, replace the screw.

  1. Installation:
  • Pre-drill a 6mm diameter hole if using in concrete, brick, or stone.

  • Use a screwdriver or drill with the appropriate bit to tighten the screw.
