Troubleshooting

Fixing feels loose after installation.

Ensure the correct plug size was used and that the screw is sufficiently tightened, but not over-tightened. Check that the steel core has fully engaged in the blockwork.

Drill bit is too short to reach the blockwork.

Use a longer drill bit that is appropriate for the wall type and plug size.

Plasterboard is cracking during installation.

Ensure the hole is pre-drilled and not too small for the plug. Consider using a pilot hole before drilling to the final size.

Screw is spinning and not tightening.

Ensure the correct screw is used. Remove the fixing and check the hole for damage; re-insert with a new plug if necessary.
