Troubleshooting
Screw head stripping during installation.
Ensure you are using the correct size and type of screwdriver. Reduce the torque applied during installation. If necessary, pre-drill the wood or use a pilot hole.
Screw breaks during installation.
If the screw is breaking, try pre-drilling a pilot hole to reduce stress on the screw. Make sure you are not over-torquing the screw.
Screw doesn't sit flush.
Ensure the pilot hole is deep enough. If needed, use a countersinking tool to allow the screw head to sit flush with the surface.
