Troubleshooting
Plug spins in the hole during screw insertion.
The drill hole may be too large. Ensure you used an 8 mm drill bit and that the hole is clean. If the material is very soft, consider using a larger plug or a different fixing method.
Plug does not feel secure after tightening the screw.
Verify the material you are drilling into. If it is hollow, ensure the plug has expanded correctly behind the surface. Check if the screw is the correct type and diameter for the plug and material.
Screw will not fully engage with the plug.
Ensure the screw is not too thick for the plug's internal diameter. Also, check that the drill hole was deep enough (minimum 6 cm) to allow the plug to function correctly.
