[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

So Good

[@ellenor108]

I have come back to this video twice now over the last year. As a young renter, I cannot believe I was going to pay someone to fix this for me. Thank you so much for making such a detailed and easy to follow video!! You're amazing

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

So Glad it helped you out. Well Done!

[@Pepingco]

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!!!

[@DollieMindsick1]

Today I showed my husband how to fix our toilet paper roll and I’ve never seen him so impressed 😂 thank you for the tips!!

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

Desteny Medina Great. I hope you took all the credit? 😀MRT

[@CreativeRyan]

This was super helpful dude, helped me fix mine! Thank god for youtube 🙌🏼

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

Glad it helped 👍🏼

[@bernadettebaptistehageman9569]

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.

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

Bernadette Baptiste Hageman 👍 So glad it helped.

[@choonygal]

Legend! Just wanted to say thank you! Our toilet roll holder broke off, and that round bracket was still in the wall. You saved me hours trying to pry the thing off (and probably damage to my tiles, too)! So thank you for this! 😊

[@tracies1272]

Thankyou SO MUCH for this video . Loo roll falling off the floppy toilet roll holder has been doing my head in for a year ! Didn’t want to get someone in for a toilet roll holder ! Finally found your solution . Simple when you know how ! Thanks for saving me a few $$ 👍👍

[@tiny2pretty4eva]

[@jeffreyb3238]

Mine has been dropping down for years and irritating me for years. Will attend to this tomorrow. At last. Thanks. Melbourne, 🇦🇺

[@samleslie8457]

[@Rearabilwe_m]

Thank you 🙏🏾 this helped me today.

[@buddybk2000]

Thanks, this helped me royally! Was completely lost, would never have figured it out!

[@SquiddyKy]

Thanks for this, mate! Had the handle/holder part come loose and the company that made it was complete rubbish and didn't put an instruction manual bloody anywhere on the website. Glad to know it's an easy fix once I've got my hands on an allan key!

[@tuxedotrunks6081]

Thank you so much for this, I had no idea how these worked and I thought I was going to have to use putty or worse tape, but a 5min job made realistic to someone who is not handy at all, if I can do it with this video, anyone can! Thank you so much!

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

Good on you for having a go. Well done. 👍

[@Caesar1313]

This video saved me! I thought the installer forgot to put a screw in all together, I didn't think to try again Alan key!

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

👍

[@paulwebster3982]

Marvellous' Sorted my toilet roll holder straight away thanks to this video'

[@JonChelesnikSTAA]

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!

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

Jon Chelesnik So Glad it helped. Well done in having a go and getting it fixed. 👍

[@Noah_-_l]

This is so helpful. Thank you!

[@Lotus_Rising]

Thank you so much! I will FINALLY be able to fix my loose TP holder!

[@banjaxed2again76]

Fantastic - this little clip really helped me. I am a complete idiot with anything to do with tools, and I just knew there had to be a way to get the damn thing off the wall without having to demolish it...I just needed a mini screwdriver (and the sneaky little screw was at the bottom of the holder - so I couldn't see it if I was standing erect)...job done - Thank you!

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

banjaxed2 again Well done. So good you had a go.

[@mynameisnicoll2139]

[@LL-ii3fy]

saman hettihamu So good. Well done. 👍🏼

[@leeannecolquhoun3306]

Hi I worked this out and tightened the unit up but the metal piece that the toilet paper sits on is loose. I searched and found this video but do you know how to tighten the single piece the paper sits on?

[@ronanmccabe6904]

Thanks, you saved my life!

[@CheetoL]

I felt so dumb when I watched this video. Thank you for the demonstration.

[@Sleepingincursive]

[@ynic0rn]

Cool, exact holder I have, the handle has come unscrewed from the circle part now I just need to get an Allen key small enough ✅😁

[@jojacobs305]

[@ESX021]

Nice one man, finally fixed my bloody toilet roll holder lol

[@jigbie]

Thanks for this!!!

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

You bet!

[@erinpompa]

Thank you so much

[@soniasabade2989]

thank you!! helped me fix mine up

[@frankbrewer1028]

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]

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.

[@musk2494]

Thank you. 😊

[@lizdavis5650]

This is great but my problem is I have a stuck grub screw (is that what you called it?) or set screw, very small, straight edge, underneath my toothbrush holder that i need to get off. I don't know what to do. Put a hole in the wall?

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

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.

[@munim711]

Thanks. It worked for me.

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

Great!

[@bizang5711]

Thanks for that. Very helpful 👍 managed to fix my toilet holder after how many months

[@shellseasummer-rain1250]

thanking you so much

[@DashRipr0ck]

*Mark* this video was worth watching to just learn the term *grub screw* Nice video and thank you! Giving you a like and subscribing. p.s. I love that TP holder. It looks so British *LOL*

[@jayrusty2012]

hi Mark, question: my TP roll holder is exactly like yours except that it does NOT have a hole at the bottom, where you used the Allen key! any possible advice ?? thanks

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

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

[@teasmaniota]

Alan key goes in but grub screw only moves a little each way making a grinding noise. How do I get the grub screw out please?

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

It will come out anti clockwise. They are often tight.

[@teasmaniota]

@@Marksreviewsandtutorials I got my phone under there and it looks like the actual grub screw is missing yet I can't get the handle off the wall.

[@jetmatas]

What size/kind of screw driver are you using??

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

The type of screw is covered and described in the video. What size differs with each appliance. MRT

[@gingern3475]

Thank you. That helped alot

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

So Glad it was helpful.

[@jeannebaktis7793]

Ginger Bread i

[@teasmaniota]

Still haven't been able to get the wobbly toilet paper holder off the wall. The grub screw is definitely missing. I don't want to damage the wall trying to get it off. What do I do? Can you please help me?

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

If it won’t come off then the grub screw is probably still there. Or maybe it is bent. Try flexing the base

[@vincecarter8242]

What size Allen key?

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

They are not all the same

[@bilalplayz2707]

How big is the Allen key

[@uhohmemebiggestboy212]

I came from people reloading there toilet paper thank youtube recommend for this wild ride

[@borku5161]

So this is where the road ends

[@jboogie380]

What’s the size of Allen wrench

[@handitoverent]

Thank you so much

[@bretthestelow4296]

Great Video , except in my case the screws wont tighten tighten the bracket to the wall no matter howmany times you turn them ! The plastic fasteners appear to have worn the plaster board holes too much Wondering what my options are here?

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

Have a look at this video. I explain it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5yaqoeYl7KjmLM

[@Mattycee2K7]

What size Allen key did you use? I’ve got a few that need tightening and am not sure what size to use. Thanks

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

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. 😃

[@hkgspotter1]

Thanks very much!

[@phillyd1453]

And what if that plate isn’t screwed into a stud?

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

Then How to mount hang things on drywall. Plaster board plugs different types & sizes. attach fit wall kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5yaqoeYl7KjmLM

[@evil6unny]

Thank you for this video :)

[@mashallsmith1908]

Thank you God! I've been so upset about mine facing the wrong direction.

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

Glad I could help!

[@Stoogenin]

Mine was stripped. Can’t get any Allen wrenches to fit. Guess it’s broken forever

[@ievavaicekauskaite4203]

Thanks :)

[@ERICtheWOLFMAN]

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

[@BillClay88]

Well it's anchored in the tile. Screw is gone, should I just put gorilla glue on it?

[@BillClay88]

I've tried everything small screw drivers, allen keys. Not coming off. Thx for any advise, mark. Oops.

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

I wouldn’t glue it as that can destroy the wall if you ever remove it. If the screw is missing take the fitting down to the hardware store and get a new grub screw or replace it. MRT

[@julierichelderfer5644]

Righty, tighty; lefty loosey!

[@alleegrrl]

just saved $88 for a handyman to fix it. Thank you

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

Hi Anna. So glad it helped and well done.

[@oopopp]

I just super glued mine when it was loose.... lol...
