Troubleshooting

Fixing spins in the hole during installation.

Ensure the drilled hole is the correct size (10mm). If the hole is too large, try a different fixing or use a filler.

The item feels unstable after installation.

Check that the screw is fully tightened and that the fixing is properly seated in the wall. If the item is very heavy, consider using additional fixings.

The fixing won't go into the hole.

Make sure the hole is clean and free of debris. Use a hammer to gently tap the fixing in if needed, but avoid excessive force.
