Troubleshooting
Bolt doesn't fit through the hole.
Ensure the hole is drilled to the correct size (12mm) to accommodate the M12 bolt. Enlarge the hole if needed, using a drill bit.
Nut won't tighten.
Make sure the threads on the bolt and nut are clean and free of debris. Use a wrench of the correct size to tighten the nut. Ensure the bolt is inserted straight through the timber.
