Troubleshooting
Rivet does not fit the hole.
Verify the hole diameter is exactly 6mm. Check if the panel opening is obstructed. This rivet is specifically designed for a 6mm hole and may not fit larger or smaller openings.
Rivet will not secure the panel.
Ensure the rivet pin is fully pushed in. Check that the panel and the receiving hole are aligned correctly. The receiving edge within the hole may be damaged, preventing a secure lock.
