Troubleshooting
Nosing is not level or secure
Ensure the stair surface is even. Check that all screws are fully tightened. If using dowels, ensure they are properly seated in the stair and the nosing.
Screws do not grip properly
The pilot holes may be too large. Try using slightly larger dowels or an appropriate wall anchor suitable for your stair material.
Plastic insert becomes loose
Inspect the insert for damage. If it's detached, try to re-seat it firmly. If damaged, replacement might be necessary, though individual inserts are not typically sold separately.
Aluminum finish scratches easily
Handle the nosings with care during installation. For minor scratches, a specialized aluminum polish might help. Avoid dragging heavy objects across the nosings.
