If you encounter any issues during installation or with the stability of your fastening, consider the following:

  • Lotura soltea: Ensure the drill hole diameter precisely matches the recommended size (3/8" or 10mm). If the hole is too large, the toggle may not engage properly, leading to a loose fit.
  • Toggle Not Engaging: Verify that there is sufficient clear cavity space behind the panel for the toggle to fully open and deploy. Ensure the plug is pushed far enough into the hole until the toggle mechanism is completely behind the panel.
  • Screw Not Tightening: Check that the screw length is appropriate for both the plug and the thickness of the item being fastened. The screw must engage fully with the toggle mechanism to create a secure connection.
  • Materialen bateragarritasuna: Confirm that the panel material is suitable for toggle-plug applications. While DuoTec is versatile, extreme or unusual materials may require alternative fastening solutions.
