Troubleshooting
Plugs do not grip securely in the substrate.
Ensure the drill hole size matches the plug diameter and depth. For very soft plasterboard, consider using a wider spreader or additional fixings.
Screws are difficult to tighten.
Verify that the correct drill bit size was used for the plugs. Ensure the plugs are fully inserted and flush with the surface before attempting to screw.
Corrosion observed on components.
While designed for corrosion resistance, in extremely damp or aggressive environments, consider a protective coating or replacement if severe.
Fixing feels loose after installation.
Re-examine the drilling depth and plug insertion. Ensure all components are used as intended and tighten screws firmly but without stripping the threads.
