FAQs

What materials can these plugs be used in?

How do I choose the correct drill bit size?

Refer to the product packaging for the recommended drill bit size for your specific plug.

Can I use these plugs outdoors?

These plugs can be used outdoors, but ensure the screw is suitable for outdoor use and is rust-resistant.

What if the plug doesn't fit in the hole?

What should I do if the screw strips the plug?

Remove the screw and plug. Use a new plug, and ensure the screw is the correct size and type.

Troubleshooting
