Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gatco 4293 Latitude II European Tissue Holder, Satin Nickel
Customer Review: Gorgeous... with some hints for easy installation
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very attractive toilet paper holder that looks more expensive in person than in the photo or than the low cost would suggest. They lose one star from me for cheaping out on the wall anchors. This toilet paper holder needs to be tight against the wall, and I think it's easier to get it tight with better wall anchors than the 20 cent ones they include. I'm sure others have better luck with the included wall anchors than I did, but consider the following suggestions before proceeding. Decide before drilling which wall anchors you want to use, because once you drill two holes big enough for the included wall anchors, only a few hardware store wall anchors will fit in those holes if the included ones are not good enough for you either.
If you happen to be installing this TP holder directly over a wooden stud behind the wallboard, you do *not* need and should not use any wall anchor. In that case, you do *not* want to drill a hole large enough for a wall anchor. If you have no studfinder, drill a pilot hole using a drill bit slightly smaller than the included screws to see if there happens to be a stud there. If so, you're in luck and should skip the wall anchors. Drill another pilot hole and screw the mounting plate directly to the stud.
In the likely event that there is no wall stud behind the wallboard where the TP holder is being mounted, you will need a 5/16" drill bit to install using the included wall anchors. The necessary drill bit is slightly larger than a 1/4" bit many drill bit sets cap out at. If you don't have it/can't borrow it, you may want to order this bit with the TP holder or plan a trip to the hardware store. You could also try just using a 1/4" drill bit and wobble it around in the drilled hole to enlarge it 1/16".
Work to get each wall anchor *tight* and flush (so to speak) against the wallboard, in front of and behind the wallboard where you can't see it, or this TP holder will wobble and could pull out of the wall with use. Personally, I couldn't get it tight enough with the included anchors. To be successful, it's important to keep tightening the screw past the point where it is flush with the mounting plate to get wall anchors tight.
I abandoned ship on these included cheap wall anchors and used a couple of better ones from the hardware store. Choose and use with care though, because you want wall anchors that will not get hung up on each other behind the wallboard as you tighten them. The two screws are pretty close together, so if you get spreading wall anchors, they need to spread off the vertical axis in relation to one another so they don't tangle. You also need to get wall anchors with screws small enough in diameter to fit through the mounting plate holes.
Study the tiny diagram showing how to mount the small wall plate with care. There's only one correct way to orient it. Backwards or upside down will not work. Once I switched to better-quality wall anchors from a hardware store and positioned everything correctly, installation was a snap. Most importantly, once successfully installed, this TP holder is very attractive.
