Troubleshooting

The item feels loose after installation.

Tighten the screw further, but do not overtighten. Check the panel thickness and ensure you are using the correct screw length.

The fixing spins in the hole.

Ensure the drill hole is the correct size (12mm). If the hole is too large, consider using a different type of fixing or filling the hole and re-drilling.

The screw doesn't tighten.

Make sure the toggle is properly behind the panel. If it's not, remove the screw, reposition the fixing, and try again.
