Troubleshooting
Connector not holding securely
Ensure you are using screws of the appropriate length and type for the materials being joined. Check that pilot holes are correctly sized and that the connector is fully seated before tightening screws.
Difficulty aligning connector
Mark screw locations carefully and consider pre-drilling pilot holes to guide the screws and simplify alignment. Ensure the surfaces being joined are clean and free from obstructions.
Connector cracking during installation
Avoid over-tightening screws. If drilling pilot holes, ensure they are not too small, which can cause stress on the plastic. Use screws that are suitable for plastic or wood.
