Troubleshooting

Screw head strips during installation.

Ensure the correct screwdriver size is used. Reduce the torque if using a power tool or switch to a fresh screw if necessary.

Screw does not fully seat.

Check if the pilot hole is deep enough and wide enough. If the wood is particularly hard, consider using a countersink bit.

Screw bends or breaks during installation.

Ensure the pilot hole is straight and correctly sized. Reduce the force used during screwing, and check the quality of the wood.
