Troubleshooting

Anchor spins during tightening.

Ensure the hole diameter is correct. The hole may be too large. Try a slightly larger anchor, or fill the hole with a suitable patching compound.

Anchor doesn't fully expand.

Ensure the hole depth is sufficient. The hole may be too shallow. Clean the hole of debris.

Difficulty inserting the anchor.

Clean the hole of any debris. Ensure the hole is the correct diameter. Try using a hammer to gently tap the anchor into the hole.

The anchor corrodes quickly.

Ensure the anchor is suitable for the environment. If exposed to the elements or moisture, consider using stainless steel anchors.
