FAQs

What tools do I need to install these screws?

You'll need a screwdriver, and a drill (if pre-drilling is necessary).

What type of surfaces can I use these screws on?

These screws can be used on wood, drywall, and plaster. For drywall and plaster, use appropriate wall anchors.

How do I clean the chrome caps?

Wipe the chrome caps with a soft, damp cloth.

Are these screws suitable for very heavy mirrors?

While these screws are strong, for very heavy mirrors, consider using additional support or wall anchors.

What if the screw holes in the wall are too big?

If the screw holes in the wall are too big, you may need to use wall anchors or a larger size screw.

Can I use these screws outdoors?

These screws are designed for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements may cause them to rust.

Troubleshooting

Screw is loose after installation.

Tighten the screw further. If the hole is stripped, consider using a larger screw or a wall anchor.

Chrome cap doesn't fit properly.

Ensure the screw is fully inserted. Check for any obstructions preventing the cap from seating correctly.

Mirror or fixture is not level.

Loosen the screws slightly, adjust the position, and re-tighten. Use a level to ensure accuracy.
