Troubleshooting
Stair nosing feels loose after installation.
Ensure screws are tightened securely. If installing on a softer material like wood, ensure the dowels are fully seated and the screws have adequate purchase. Re-check that the surface underneath is firm and stable.
Difficulty drilling pilot holes or fitting screws.
Use appropriate drill bits for your stair material. If encountering very hard material, a pilot hole may be necessary before inserting screws. Ensure you are using the correct type and size of screw for your substrate.
Anti-slip insert is not providing sufficient grip.
Ensure the insert is clean and free from dirt or debris. For persistent issues, consider if the level of expected foot traffic or the presence of liquids warrants additional safety measures, or check if the product is damaged.
