Troubleshooting
Trunking lid does not stay closed.
Check for obstructions or ensure the lid is properly aligned and clipped into place. If necessary, replace damaged clips or the lid.
Self-adhesive trunking is not sticking.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth before applying. Consider using additional adhesive or screws for a more secure installation.
Cables are difficult to fit inside.
Ensure you have selected the correct size of trunking and try using a cable lubricant to ease the insertion process. Consider re-routing cables if too many are present.
