What is the maximum weight the DuoBlade can hold?

Troubleshooting

Fixing spins in the hole during installation.

Ensure you are using the correct size screw. Try to pre-drill a pilot hole if the plasterboard is damaged.

Screw does not tighten properly.

Check the screw size to ensure it is within the 4-5 mm range. Make sure the item you are attaching is not too heavy.

Fixing is not flush with the wall.
