Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Setup: Pre-drill a pilot hole using a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw diameter (3mm is recommended for these screws). Insert the screw and tighten.
  2. Compatibility: Compatible with wood and plasterboard. Ensure the screw length is appropriate for the thickness of the materials.
  3. Care: Avoid over-tightening. If the screw is difficult to insert, check the pilot hole size and material condition. Clean the screw heads with a cloth to remove any dust or debris after installation.
