Where can I find the product specifications?

Product specifications can be found on the packaging or product listing.

Troubleshooting

Anchor spins in the wall during tightening.

Ensure the hole is the correct size. If the hole is too large, consider using a larger anchor or filling the hole with a suitable filler before re-drilling.

The screw doesn't tighten.

Check if the anchor is properly expanded behind the wall. If not, try tightening the screw further. If the anchor is stripped, replace the anchor.

Anchor is loose after installation.

Ensure the item's weight is within the anchor's load capacity. If overloaded, consider using more anchors or a different fixing method suitable for the weight.
