Chair tie down

[ronthet]

I have surveyor 266 RLDS. The screw for the tie down has pulled out if floor/carpet. I tried out it back but can not get it it go in. I used my dewalt to screw back in but would not break. Like solid steel I was hitting.

Anyone had this happen and how to fix. Please

Thank you

Did your screw break off leaving a part of it in the floor?

[ronthet]

No. I believe the screw is all together. No way i could find the hole either

I need some help on this for ideas. Below is the original problem.


I have surveyor 266 RLDS. The screw for the tie down has pulled out of floor/carpet. The screw is all the way out. Because it is in the carpet I can not see where it was/goes. I assume I need a new hole, but not quite sure what I need to do. The screw itself will not break the flooring material using my drill. Do I need a self taping screw etc,. Just using the screw and my driver it like drilling into concrete.


Ideas??????

Do you have a picture that might be able to help?

What is the material you are screwing into?

Not trying to be smart but is you drill rotation turning the screw clockwise?

[ronthet]

ok, thank you. I figure out the issue which is stupid of me is the screw head and my phillips drill did not match. I found the same size screw in my junk with a phillips and it went right in.


Sorry for the bother.


Thanks everyone
