Troubleshooting
Anchor spins in the wall during installation.
Ensure the drilled hole is the correct size. If the hole is too large, consider using a larger anchor or filling the hole with a suitable filler before reinstalling.
The fixture feels loose after installation.
Tighten the screw further, ensuring the anchor is firmly gripping the wall. If the issue persists, the anchor may be overloaded; consider using a different mounting solution.
Anchor doesn't expand properly.
Ensure the screw is being tightened correctly. If the screw is stripped, replace the anchor.
