    They are not all the same and Allen keys come in sets so it is best to buy a set
    See these links
    A viewer told me I needed to add a link so people could buy me a Beer or Coffee when they are so helped, especially financially by my videos, so here it is Thanks 😃: www.paypal.me/...

    Thankyou. I was so stuck because my entire house has fittings like this, my towel rails, hand towel rings and toilet paper holders and all use an Allan key. I never thought about an Allan key. Thankyou! Now I can fix my entire home!!!

    This was excellent! I couldn't understand why it kept falling off. Your demonstration taught me I had the plate screwed in incorrectly. Also, learning the name of the screw was a huge plus too.

    My fixture would not stay on the mounting plate after tightening the grub screw. Your suggestion to use a hammer to re-flatten the mounting plate fixed it. Yes! Two months of frustration fixed in two seconds. Thank you!

    I looked through the comments that were made but did not see the one piece of information that I was looking for and that is the size of the Allen wrench that you used. I cannot find where I put the Allen wrench I used to initially install my toilet paper holder so I have been trying to figure out from the wrenches I own in an Allen Wrench Kit the correct size. I did not want to strip the head of the screw on the bottom of the toilet paper holder.

    • @Marksreviewsandtutorials
      @Marksreviewsandtutorials  2 роки тому

      Hi Frank. They are not all the same size. with Allen keys pretty much they will either be too big just right or will spin inside the hole. I wouldn't stress about stripping anything.

    • @Marksreviewsandtutorials
      @Marksreviewsandtutorials  Рік тому

      Spray it with wd40 then wait a few hours then try again.
      If that doesn’t fix it cut it off with a hacksaw. Don’t damage your wall.

      Matt Clifford There is no set size. There is even metric and imperial sizes for Allen keys.
      If you get a set of Allen keys that is best, then just try them until you get one that fits. 😃

      Yes. grab your camera and make a film just looking closely at the fitting close to the wall and under and around the fitting. There will be something somewhere or even maybe the plate against the wall will clip off? MRT

    something as basic as a towel rack can serious put you in a anxious depression lol. I paid someone and they slapped it on the wall with the plastic anchors that came with it. Was loose in a day. Tried to fix it myself. No luck. Finally put toggle bolts in and that tighted the mounted FIRMLY to wall but the set screw doesnt seem to want to hold the bar securely. So irritating. Next thing is some strong silicone on the underside of rack and let that dry permanelty
