Troubleshooting
Anchor spins in the wall during installation.
Ensure the drilled hole is the correct size. If the hole is too large, use a larger anchor or consider patching the hole and re-drilling.
The fixture feels loose after installation.
Check that the anchor is fully expanded and secure. Tighten the screw on the fixture, but do not overtighten, as this could damage the anchor or wall.
Anchor doesn't hold the weight of the item.
Verify the weight of the item is within the anchor's weight capacity. If it exceeds the limit, use a different type of anchor designed for heavier loads, or distribute the weight across multiple anchors.
