The hole may be too large. Try using a slightly larger diameter bolt or filling the hole with an appropriate filler material before re-inserting the bolt.
Bolt doesn't tighten.
Ensure that the bolt is inserted fully into the hole and that the expansion sleeve is properly seated. Check for any obstructions within the hole.
Bolt corrodes prematurely.
If used outdoors, consider applying a corrosion-resistant sealant or coating to protect the stainless steel from environmental factors.
