Troubleshooting
Plate not sitting flush
Ensure the wood surface is flat and that the screws are driven in completely, but avoid over-tightening which can strip the wood.
Corrosion observed on the plate
The product is rated for dry, internal use. If corrosion is present, it may be due to exposure to moisture. Relocate the item to a drier environment or replace it if significant degradation has occurred.
Fasteners not holding securely
Ensure you are using fasteners of an appropriate length for the materials being joined and that they are suitable for the 4mm hole diameter. For soft woods, pilot holes may be beneficial.
