Fug man. Damn sian. Installed this and cleaned up cos lots of concrete dust from the drilling. Spent like few hours.

Then went to try and it came loose. 

Drilled two diagonal holes each side then installed the expansion bolts. 

The hex bolt drill driver I bought is too small so hand tightened. 

I think I didn't think it through properly. Probably drilled too deep a hole.

Maybe the hole size is too big. Could you check again ?

Or buy a bigger plug that use 14mm hole, since you've already used that diameter bit, I presume.

I used the correct bit size. drilled the correct size which is a 14mm sleeve diameter. The screw thread is M10.

One problem with this supplier provided expansion bolt is that it's 85mm long but the sleeve length itself is 65mm already. Which only allows 2cm for the nut to tighten against. Ultimately I need enough of the exposed screw for the plate of  the pull-up bar to hang off. 

IMG_20260527_202809.thumb.jpg.c94dcbfb44059319ad0be5fbb6903489.jpg

Whereas the example here from Shopee gives 25mm or 30mm.

Probably the sleeve inside is not expanding properly. The left supporting plate is bit deformed so the bottom half is not touching the wall.
