What if the wall is uneven?

Troubleshooting
Cabinet feels wobbly after installation.
Check all Space-Plugs to ensure they are fully expanded and tightened. If the wall is uneven, consider using additional fixings.
Screw is not holding in the wall.
Ensure you are using the correct screw size and type for your wall material. If needed, use wall anchors for added support.
Space-Plug is not fitting the gap properly.
Make sure you are using the right size of Space-Plug, and ensure you have the correct depth to expand the Space-Plug correctly.
